Needs decent switches, otherwise not bad.
I like the use of cardboard in the prototype.

The curve of the keys in the sketch is convex, not concave/dished as in other "ergo" keyboards.
I think that the cardboard prototype is non-working. It looks like rubber dome keys just glued to the cardboard.
BTW, cardboard can have its uses. An inexpensive, but somewhat time consuming way to build prototypes of larger objects from a 3D model is to transform it into a flat paper model (using Pepakura Designer), print it on card stock, build the model and then reinforce it with resin/fiberglass.

"Safe" because of the wing mirrors. You can see cyclists typing behind you just fine.webwit wrote:a Safetype clone.

All of these are FAIL due to the staggered keys. A vertical keyboard is only viable if the keys are in straight columns. I had a vertical keyboard and I know.

Agree with the video. On the other hand, if you put 2 straight-column keyboards upright so simulate a vertical keyboard, you can type surprisingly well. I did it with 2 Kinesis Advantage and could immediately type at my full WPM without errors. 2 small POS matrix keyboards would be perfect for this kind of application.

Perflipiskop? Sounds double Dutch to me.webwit wrote:
But really, how could typing on something like this be considered desirable? I think I would get very heavy hands after some time.
