Welcome to the world of a strange keyboard

If you are an office worker, one of the things you can touch every day, the keyboard.What keyboard do you use at your company or home?Well, don't you know that?

A little bit, that's not the Sean Buckley reporter of Gizmodo in the United States.He is a keyboard mania.That's a bit of it.

The keyboard you are using now is easy to use, comfortable, and functional.But I dare say it.Such a thing is boring.There are many more keyboards in the world, more unusual, and not functional.

I didn't know such a world when I was writing a dissertation every day.But one day, his father brought a keyboard that had changed because he could not move his fingers due to tube syndrome due to overuse of keyboards.Since then, my "Hentako Keyboard Collection Habby" has begun ...

This is what my father used for his wrist measures.This is the vertical keyboard Safetyper Keyboard.If you don't encounter this, I think I wouldn't have had a strange collection habit, and it would be nice to be happy.

As you can see, both ends are bent.It's big.It is on the mirror.How is it, isn't it sane?

Basically, it is a QWERTY keyboard, but I see the mirror and typing.It may not be necessary for those who can do blind touch.I used it almost every day (for games), but my wrist pain has disappeared.Like a lie.

To be honest, the pain on the wrist doesn't matter.It was just fun.I felt like I was piloting a spaceship, and I felt like I was dealing with this complicated object.I also noticed that my colleagues were watching flickering sideways.

I should have started using it for my wrist, but I felt like I wanted to get attention by using this strange keyboard.

I'm a little laughing there.Certainly it looks unusual, but this is wonderful.It is a lie.It's no good at all.But I love you.

For a few months to get used to this unique key layout, I was trying to believe this."This is an advanced keyboard. It's antithesis for the common sense of Qwerty!"

Yes, it took a few months.To realize that this igrip is "weird."It's not an antithesis at all, it's just hard to use.It's strange.

No matter how hard I tried, the typing speed was the limit of half of the ordinary keyboard.IGRIP had a small track ball, but I used mouse normally.

I can't explain why I bought something like this, but what, how did you tickle your challenge?For this key layout."There is nothing impossible!"I guess he was young.There is also a story that I just wanted to be more strange than Safetyper.However, it is certain that it was fun to be able to use a variety of thumbs that can only be used with a space key on ordinary keyboards.

I'm still sad to remember the key sequence of Igrip.I love you.on second thoughts.

Igrip was certainly very compact, but I thought at some point.I wonder if a true compact, for example, a portable keyboard that can be used without a PC.And I came up with it immediately.Even if you can only hit text, the battery is an endless digital keyboard.I tried and errored in various ways.Connect an old electronic leader with a USB keyboard.I tried for weeks, but unfortunately failed.

I suddenly noticed in disappointment.That's already there.That is Alphasmart NEO.

how is it?It's very normal compared to before.But this is not just a keyboard.The hitting characters are displayed on the small window at the top.In a sense, isn't it a super compact notebook PC?As expected, it is not wireless, and the function is just a feeling (calculator, quiz, and dictionary), but what is that?

As you say, isn't it a battery hampa?Continuous use time, 700 hours.It seems that some people did not have any problems even if they continued using the same battery for more than two years.It's a good idea to keep it nearby when you want to write down a note when a nice idea flashes.eh?What do you write?Oh yeah, I do this.

It's a dream to go on a trip with this one day and write an article like a house.It's an ultimate keyboard that doesn't disturb anything.

Because I was like this, I thought I had seen most keyboards.But last year, I met a shock at a TechCrunch event.It's like this butterfly, Keyboard.IO.Although it is still under development, it includes many elements I like.It has a key layout that focuses on the thumb, a vertical type that can be driven to a certain vertical type, and a function that allows you to handle mouse without releasing your hand.If you press the function key at the bottom to enable hot keys, you can operate with each Wasd key.

Well, even though.I don't know if you don't use it.Well, I will buy it when it is released.If you appear in crowdfunding, you will definitely invest.I have such confidence.

It's about time my collection is coming, but I will introduce DataHand at the end.This is the control panel of the space station.

Of course, it's a joke, but this challenging key layout is amazing.This keyboard, which aims to improve work efficiency by cutting the move and fingers to the limit, has a smaller button.Each finger has five keys.It looks like a science fiction movie props, but when you come this far, you don't know what it looks like anymore.It seems that what the guy who has IGRIP is saying.

How was it.Certainly, I admit that I have a strange thing.But I'm not alone.Take a look at Geekhack.It's just such a person.Everyone is seriously talking only about the keyboard arrays.In the first place, Keyboard.IO was born from here.

how is it?Would you like to come to this world too?Or do you continue to use that easy -to -use, boring keyboard?
