Just how is one supposed to use huge flat shakers like these?  Pretty silly idea but i'm sure someone will buy them.

I think part of the shaker is still in the cardboard. But they should have taken Model M keycaps. Much better height to footprint ratio. Those who made this can't be true geeks!

a couple of numpad enter keys back to back would have given a more conventional shape.

actually one can envision a whole line of herb dispensers this way ;) And when not used the containers can be 'stored' in a keyboard layout tray :)

Got mine in a small shop here in St. Pauli. But they're available online:

keyboard shakers
Designed by James Burgess
Colin Ross Design

About 12 Euros. Top is ABS or something, bottom silicone so you can open them.

On all the pics I've seen, pepper has four holes and salt has one. This has been changed as can be seen above.
