The Stenosaurs http://stenosaurus.blogspot.de/ is keyboard with cherry mx keys designed for machine stenography a la plover. http://plover.stenoknight.com/. The idea is to press multiple keys at once to produce a syllable. This works with any NKRO keyboard, but the flat keycaps make it more comfortable to press multiple keys at once. One of the most exotic keyboards I have ever seen. AFAIK it is planned to be release as a commercial product, although all i could find was a very plain website http://stenosaurus.com/

Any idea on the price of these things? I've seen that stenography machines are very expensive but also very quick to a trained typist.

No, I don't. But so far these people try to reach a wider audience, so I'd guess it will be a way cheaper than regular steno keyboards. I'd guess It will cost as much as a typical 60%.

Stenography keyboards are often more ergonomic than that. With the hands angled from each other, split or with at least more hand separation and with slightly dished keycaps.
