I've been trying out a split, fully programable keyboard as of late, mainly for reasons of wrist pain after heavy use of shitty keyboards. Literally the first thing that struck me was the fact that you can easily have at least two keys for your thumb fingers that can act like Space and Enter when tapped, but as Ctrl and Alt, when held. This was after an hour of use and the natural though came "what the f* are we still doing with these weird keyboards, and why the hell are the big companies like Microsoft and Dell that sell them by the millions, not able to invest a bit of money even for this smallest of improvements and instead we get wireless junk and pretty audio buttons and in general a cheap product that is bad for your health?!".
I've also found a nice collection of Lisp Keyboards [1]. It was posted here on HN like a week ago without much success. There is some nice keyboard history in there, too. Hope you'll find it interesting. Thanks for posting this!
