Microsoft sold their Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard design to Incase and it has been "coming soon" for 3+ years. I don't look forward to finding an alternative.

#23Fun piece, I'm still curious about a real COLEMAK keyboard.

What about the kinesis mWave? Are there significant differences?

#25Excellent and super interesting collection! I have the NeXT keyboard, and I used it as my daily driver on my Mac for a while. It has a regular ADB port, so depending on the vintage of your Mac, you can use it directly or with an iMate USB adapter. Once you get used to the convenience of the Command bar, it's really hard to go back to regular ⌘ keys. Weird how this didn't catch on. The lack of function keys is a big minus, though.
And I always wanted an Avid keyboard just because it looks cool (the Extended Keyboard II version, though), but they were always rare and/or expensive.

#26That safe type keyboard literally made me wonder for a while. And then I read that there are mirrors. Crazy!
I kinda get the idea of that keyboard, but the placement of the central keypad looks super inconvenient.

#27The Xbox 360 keyboard attachment was underrated in its time. It had almost no impact on use for gameplay, but was a vast improvement to using the d-pad to navigate an on-screen keyboard when typing messages.

I still have mine, unfortunately basically nothing supports it at this point

#29It’s a shame the book doesn’t seem to be available.
I have a copy from the kickstarter, it's the best and most expensive ($175) thing I've ever gone in on crowdfunding for. Absolutely beautiful books. Great photography, they even worked up their own typefaces and do fun typographic things all over the place. Well written and deeply _deeply_ researched. I have very few complaints, maybe the section on chorders is a little thinner than I'd like, but that's a pet interes…
> I have a copy from the kickstarter
Me too. But it cost half as much as my ZX Spectrum Next...

I see news about those, mostly from friends doing recreational things with FPGAs.
I guess also relevant since they've managed to crowdfund three (substantially upgraded from generation to generation) runs of them.
