The Top 10 Weirdest Keyboards ever
Keyboards come in many shapes - from the simplest computer grey $9.99 standard
102-key keyboard to variants that seem to come straight out of a Star Trek
episode. Here's our Top 10 list of the weirdest keyboards ever.
10. Roll-up keyboard
This keyboard has the same measurements as a standard 102-key keyboard,
but there's a big difference. You can roll this one up and put it in your
pocket. Nice.
9. The wrist keyboard
This one might be useful if you're in the need to type stuff while doing
practical work in tough climates - but if you would wear this keyboard at the
office, you might be considered a bit geeky.
8. Maltron 3D Ergonomic Keyboard
Things are starting to get a bit more weird, ey? Getting used to this
keyboard isn't something you'll do in 10 minutes or so - it will take a while
for sure. But if you have medical problems with your hands, this might be a
good choice since it's a very ergonomic keyboard. It looks very weird though!
7. The SafeType keyboard
Just take a look at this one. Do you understand how to use it? The idea
is that your hands and arms shall be in a more relaxed position while working
with the SafeType compared to a traditional keyboard.
6. Virtual Laser Keyboard
Wow, it's heating up, don't you agree? This is more cool than weird
though. This laser gadget projects a virtual keyboard on a table or other
suitable material, and then interpret your finger movement and pass them on to
your PDA or whatever you have it connected to. Cool.
5. The frogpad
The frogpad is a tiny, tiny keyboard - or it would be more suitable to
call it a keypad actually. The manufacturer say that you can get up to 40 words
per minute if you practice between 6 to 10 hours with it. Any idea why they are
calling it a frogpad?
4. The Twiddler 2
What do you say about the Twiddler 2? It looks to be quite painful to
use, or what do you think? According to the testimonials at their site, it will
take you 'a weekend' to learn typing 30 words per minute, so the frogpad wins
that round.
3. The Orbitouch
This one could be a leftover from Area 51, or a prop from the set of any
science fiction movie. Wonder how it works? Here's what the manufacturer say:
"The orbiTouch creates a keystroke when you slide the two domes into one of
their eight respective positions. You type the different characters by sliding
the domes to create letters and numbers. The orbiTouch also has an integrated
mouse, so moving the domes gives you full mouse and keyboard capability!" The
target group for this keyboard is of course people who have limited or no
motion in their fingers or hands, and that's a very good thing - but anyway,
it's a weird keyboard.
2. The Datahand
This product is aimed for people who get pain in their hands from typing
with a traditional keyboard - and that's a good thing. It's still looks like a
very strange keyboard. Everytime I see this one I think of the movie Predator
with Arnold Schwarzenegger, don't know why. I love this one - the keyboard, not
the movie.
1. The Tidy Tippist
Isn't this one lovely? The keyboard is hidden inside a decorative,
washable tablecloth. The electronic is woven into a fabric, which finds itself
between layers of water resistant felt as sandwich material. The soft felt
surface makes it a pleasure for fingers to tip - a cosy keyboard. Awesome,
hehe.
