KeyBoard Pics! From Mechanical to the Unknown- Post Yours :D
« on: Fri, 11 January 2013, 20:08:57 »
Why not start a thread where we can share interesting pictures of keyboards!
There are no rules, just post a pic related to keyboards, whether it is a lame rubber dome, a chocolate bar, or whatever else unusual out there you can find.

I'll start with a few:











Note: I don't remember specifically where I found all of these pictures, so if you feel you deserve credit, let me know!

Whoever thought to put keycap shaped grips on the bottom of shoes is a genius

But are they functional?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
