Number three and four
December 2001: Finally my thoughts from May 2001 have become usable hardware. In summer I made some tests with the
layout of the keys and the arm-rest using potter's earth. Using the result, I made
a mold,
as I wanted to have at least two of this type made of fiberglass...but
when building the first one,
the mold 'died', so I build number four using wood again.
Both of them are placed on a big base plate so you can use this thing on your desk
or on your lap. The latter case feels very comfortable and you have the mouse
nearby, too.
I do use this one at work, but have rounded its edges in the meantime:
The one at home, quite young when this foto had been taken:
May 2005: This is how it looks since quite a long time now.
It is quite small (compared to a usual keyboard) and provides
storage space for things regularly needed at your hands.
Multimedia keys have been added as well as a fixed position for LEDs.
