As teased recently, a review of the SafeType keyboard. I'd say "words fail me", but that wouldn't be completely accurate :p . Hope you enjoy the video!

Probably the stupidest aspect of this keyboard, and Chyros doesn't mention it (I think), is that the vertical parts are at a fixed distance and in parallel… and you can't change it… and if you could change it, the mirrors would be even more useless.
BTW the note about it being only black, while the reviewed one is (off?) white… it also has Win95-era Windows keys. The online listing shows newer Windows keys, though, as well as a black version, and the left spacebar is labeled Backspace.
Another note, it appears to have the "Focus" layout: big-ass Enter, 2u regular Backspace… and backslash to the right of the right Shift key. Good luck finding that one by touch. I already hate it on flat keyboards…
