| The 89th Key | Dec 6 2006, 10:36 PM Post #1 |

I still think this is cool. When I first heard about this about 2 years ago, I totally wanted one but it was still in development. All the keys are blank (which not only looks cool, but also forces you to type faster and better). The keys are strategically created so that the more frequent a key is used on average, the easier it is to push, etc. Just a really cool and innovative design...I'd like to get it one day. But not until I get a desktop system. Right now I have a laptop... http://daskeyboard.com/ |

HOLY CARP!!!
|
Why should certain keys be easier to push than others? Why not just make them all easy to push? |

Sam - as you can see here, the D key is easier to push than the Y key, because D occurs more often. The R key seems most difficult to push of all, though that's probably because the keyboard is made on the east coast.

ZOOOOOM!

Das Keyboard has been around for awhile. Pretty interesting, how they have varying key sensitivities, but if you want an all black keyboard all you need is some vinyl dye or spraypaint. It'll cost you about 2 to 10 bucks. |

Yeah if all I wanted was a blank keyboard, Aqua is right. You might even be able to buy one from the OEM. But I'm curious how effective the key sensitivity aspect is. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Improviso will jump in and support me on this I think.. there has never been a better or easier to use keyboard than the old IBM 3270 terminal keboards. The terminal itself was HUGE and greenscreen, but the keyboard was great. You could fly, and it gave that tactile feedback they discuss here. I'd love to have one of these, but I need the letters on it. But I too use a laptop only.. have for years. |
