That is the worst keyboard layout i have ever seen. Bravo.
Managers will still expect you to do 60% of your work on 60% of your keyboard.
Two Alt keys and no space bar?
Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.
A typical office keeb is around $15. If you can build this for anywhere close to $150 I’m gonna take 2, please!
I wrote “could easily cost 10 times more”, which doesn’t exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn’t find the exact one) is what I’d expect.
Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).
I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.
Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost.
That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.
Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.
You’re right. No shame there, but definitely knocks a $100 or more off the price.
Keycaps is where I always avoid because that’s what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound.
Still saving for my keycaps setsKeycaps are expensive but you can easily spend $500 on a keyboard chassis/plate/pcb alone
True. I was mostly thinking about having to buy keycaps aftermarket when the prices double/triple and having to source all the different kits.
Personally, I think I have three times as many keycap sets than I do keyboards.
This might be controversial, but at some point just buy a decent repro on AliExpress.
FN key on quadruple duty
As someone that into mech keyboard hobby, I can say that’s still perceivable for average user as you still retain the familiar “qwerty” layout.
Look up stenograph keyboard. They have lesser keys but allows someone to write higher wpm and programmable though I don’t think they would fit for average office workload (unless you types a lot).
Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts about to spend 1500$ on a keyboard missing over half it’s keys
This is just retarded. Like how is it reasonable to have no a, z, space and enter key but have a code key and 2x alt, shift, control and fn keys. Like what do you need fn keys for anyway in this setup?
This has to be meant as a joke. Or it was an American who build/programmed it.
r-slur
The complete lack of A is concerning.
Outside of work, A was part of a Labor Union, a Marxist gathering and an Anarchist bookclub.
So he was let go.I was allowed to keep his job cause he was the one who ratted on A.
Can still beat Mario64 on Wii VC version.
What? Ya can’t have access at all that; at what situation can ya fathomly have a want to access that?
If you ever do need it, just hit the ol’ fn+super+shift+q,z
If you ever need a ‘z’, just hit fn+alt+Ctrl+backspace.Ezpz
You know, I could do without the letter we’re referring to here. Plenty of other vowels to suit my needs.
What can anyone alternately make about usage?
All alphabetical antecedents are appropriate and appreciated.
I imagine a single press of shift probably types A
Z on the other hand
Also why have a caps lock on a keyboard like this the only time I’ve ever touched it is for keybinds or by accident
Or a space key.
But you get two Fn keys next to each other, so it’s got that going for it.
You have a backspace.
To do a space you need to press CTRL + Backspace to do a space.
Duh…Is that true? the space bar is a keyboard shortcut?
My latest keyboard doesn’t have a ctrl on the right side and it took me 2 weeks to adjust.
A real Geek only need this one
you got way too many keys you can just type with one button and one button (hold)
That requires more circuitry. Just have the computer check every 0.25s, and if you have depressed the button it is a 1, else a 0.
Instructions unclear, executed a perfect BLJ.

Oh hey! That’s mine :D https://github.com/duckythescientist/BinaryKeyboard
Oh, sorry, I had the image since a lot of years. The world is small
I’m just glad to see someone appreciating it 😁

literally 40 keys AND YOU STILL INCLUDE THE USELESS CAPS LOCK KEY
At least you still can press Alt+F4
You cab remap it to required less finger gymnastics… I prefer super+q, personally.
Itrieditandiamnothappythatthereisnospacebaronthatkeyboard.
The central control probably is set to spacebar, i dont think they make small space bars and they already have another control key down the right.
It does however not have an “a” key, so maybe yours is misconfigured so the control-spacebar is the letter a?
You couldn’t have written this on that keyboard. That keyboard has no a (or z).
I SO hate the CapsLock, the most useless key in the best of locations. I converted it to XCape on all my keebs!
Usually on boards like this it’s remapped to Ctrl, Esc or whatever you actually want. At this point having the caps button still there is purely cosmetic.
No Z key ?
You’ve got an ‘S’ key, so that’s enough.
Perfect for ordering some pissa
No ‘a’, so it’s perfect for ordering some piss.
Fun fact: “pissa” means piss in Finnish
But can you still order it online?
Alphabet didn’t turn enough profit this quarter, so they had to make some difficult choices and cut their less used options
