Creation of a Steampunk themed keyboard
« on: Thu, 11 August 2022, 13:33:35 »
What do you guys think about an Alice layout on a stylish, more minimalistic Steampunk-themed keyboard?

Obviously, it will have a lot of clocks, gears, and gold-metal decorations to it.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I think that a split steampunk-themed keyboards should take inspiration or even have references to early "ergonomic" typewriters, such as those from Reinmetall or Blickensderfer.

You could have a solenoid ring the bell if a locking light changes.

IMHO, gears should do something, not just be for decoration. Why not take the opportunity to make a truly split Alice for once and have a visible gear be part of the mechanism.
Or at least, put a volume knob on it, and that knob turns the gears.
