Ergonomic Steampunk Keyboard

Steampunk and retro futurist fabricator Datamancer has come up with yet another impressive creation. This time it’s a keyboard based on the ergonomic IBM Model M-15.
This keyboard was commissioned by a female client and has some elegant, feminine design features such as violet LEDs, an acanthus-leaf pattern etched into the brass, and a soft burgundy wrist pad that is removable for cleaning.
It also has a built-in “buttonless” touchpad mouse in the center (tap anywhere to left-click and drag, tap in the top-right corner to right-click).
This keyboard is interesting because the typing plane is actuallytipped forward rather than back. It looks odd at first, but actually makes for a very comfortable typing position.
Head over to Datamancer.net for more photos of the Ergonomic Steampunk Keyboard.

cool. it’s like an old type writer from the 1800s or something. I want one! also interesting style on the sides.
Mm, it would be cool to have something like that on the desk.
Thanks for your comment!
I’ve just joined this site and it looks great.
