  I haven't followed Oculus stuff at all, but some of the comments there talk about how great Oculus keyboards will be. Anybody know if that's still the case?

  2014? That dates how long I've had this Sidewinder X4 keyboard from my reply there, and roughly how long my experience with the Datahand and Plover has put me off buying another strange or unusual keyboard. Specifically the "Truly Ergonomic"/Cleave keyboard which came up in the last year or so for another round of production, and when I googled it found a review by Xah Lee [1] - who no longer uses it - and this guy I'm sure you'll recognise - https://www.sacrideo.us/not-your-typical-keyboard/ https://www.sacrideo.us/not-your-typical-keyboard/ - who seems to no longer use it, and both previously owned a Datahand too [2]. I wonder what the incidence of people continuing using their strange keyboards long term, vs. raving about them and then not using them after a few months, really is. And what happened to the guy who bought my Datahand and paid international shipping to get it.
