That arrow pad is horrible.

But the rest is classy. But all cherry boards are ugly by default. #srynotsry

Only because I couldn't find a fresher thread...

This had found its way into my Youtube feed:

Barbie - branded. Official.
Chiclet
Shift keys on both sides of .. the space bar
No Return key, or lever
Pink
Bulbous case.

The manufacturer produced four designs of the typewriter with similar innards and keyboard module, but this one is the worst IMHO.

It also has a substitution cipher function for coding and decoding secret messages which you could enable with a key combination of Shift + Lock + number key. While all models included the cipher, apparently only the user manual for the first iteration mentions the function: That would be just awesome if you had one of the latter models and happened to press Shift+Lock+Number key by mistake...

Not as ugly as an HHKB, but at least something I'd like to try  :)

Finally, we have discovered the ultimate ergo keyboard.
Linears are for linear people. No offense if you use linears.
I prefer tactile switches, I'm reluctantly using the AULA SI-859 and my pronouns are she/her.

Not digging the centered font,  but other than that it's alrite..  If the case was a little darker  or a little lighter  that would be better than the middle ground, as is, there's not enough contrast, rendering it stylistically muddy.

ALSO, the artist has a very crude sense of sakura geometry, it's much too uniform, and all units have 5/ 6 petals, complete amateur.

The combination of colours does not work. White keycaps with pastel modifiers need a white case. Dark wood case works best with black keycaps.

The keycaps combination does work though..
