deskthority

Trent and I were wandering through Tiger Direct yesterday and encountered this. I'm sorry, all i had for scale at the time was a pack of Parliament 100's. It was rubberdome, and completely impossible to type on. Nevertheless I thought it was an interesting item.

Looks like some ripped off the LCD screen from a notebook and just placed the keyboard there

Sorta looks like these (took the pics in Japan, 2009)

You can also get the Lenovo one in normal ANSI (not JIS)

I've seen some keyboards for rackmount use that are a little smaller than normal and also contain a pointing device. Several look a lot like keyboard #1 is the OP, (But with tenkeys, normally)

For rackmount use I will definetly use my SSK

A friend of mine gave me a slide arch keyboard (in the last picture). Not mechanical, but fairly pleasant. At least there's a few manufacturers who are prepared to make something a little different, rather than the same thing but cheaper...
