Pop up Keyboard Museum

[hoggy]

I joined a tech group just a few weeks back, they were thinking of a subject for the following week so I mentioned that I had a collection of ergo boards that might be of at least some interest.

Here's how it turned out...

Had some nice comments, and someone suggested doing it again during litfest later in the year.

Wow this is really interesting.

Could you compile a list of the keyboards in these pictures?

The left two keyboards on the first picture are really cool

You have quite the collection, wow! Thanks for sharing. Do you exclusively use ergo boards?

[XMIT]

Oh neat, there's "my" M15! I'm glad it found a good home.

Any special reason for the interest in ergonomic boards?

I wonder, too, if you've tried a uTron, and if you have a keyboard.io on order.

[hoggy]

I have to admit to just using a laptop at home, but then I don't tend to type much outside of work. I do have a few 'normal' boards, too.

Nice spot! The M15 was quite popular, along with the cherry and the cykey. I tend towards ergo keyboards as I have an issue with my nerves in my arms (not as dramatic as it sounds)

Haven't tried a uTron, I know Webwit has one in his collection. If you find one on your travels, I'm calling dibs!

[hoggy]

Oh, yes, I'm eagerly awaiting a keyboard.io. looks like they are getting close to shipping.

Oooh, that's a great ergo collection! Even better than my humble one.
