i first saw it when i was at Desert Bus for Hope one year and one of the tech leads had one (with no identifying marks beyond an FCC ID also used on a dozen other keyboards), spent a few weeks sleuthing my way to the brand name, bought one on TaoBao where the seller eventually flaked and refused to actually send it, then had to scour ebay until one eventually showed up that would only ship to the US, so I had a US-based friend buy it for me and then send it onto me

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

please tell me someone has thrown some modern hardware and a HiDPI display in one of these

is it because of the split board being too confusing?

also, I have matias ergo pro and aside from getting a sweet chance to brag about it the switches are pretty nice and you can get whatever angle between your upperbody and the board that you like. I personally like being able to spread my hands 2ft from eachother in the home position but I have a sorta lovely shoulder injury that makes that valuable to me. if you can't handle the terrible shame of dome switches or having too much money it may be worth a look

i kinda want to see that too, especially since with the spare internal space you could fit in a battery that'd be good for ludicrous run times

i'd guess it's more because of the trackball; i have a trackball explorer and it mystifies people when they try to use it (tbf it's weirder than Prof. Tomtom's)

so after a few days with cherry clears
at work I can safely
say this this the best dispensing keybaord I have ever used

coz the keybaord doubles as an input device for typing but also navigating menus n poo poo, it's so amazing every second of te way

at that point it's not really a portable thing anymore, it's more like a bunch of open frame monitors on admittedly neat folding mounts

back to keyboars, i've been looking for a solution for mac havers at the office that includes a cac style reader and cherry has a bunch, but a lot of them also have credit card readers and i don't even want to imagine the driver hell i'd jump into trying to implement that under osx
