KEYR8 (Emacs Friendly Keyboard): Prototype Fabricated

VMETALS ROCKS!!!

They took a newbie like me through the process of designing the thing and it was fun. Then they fabricated the thing and it rocks.

Emacs friends: there is enough key-space (128 keys) to easily place

  • Control
  • Meta
  • Super
  • Hyper
  • Ultra (Control-Meta-Super-Hyper)
  • Alt
  • Gui

ON EACH SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD

Strong thumb proponents: I’m trying to make it happen here by placing everything on the bottom two rows (including space, Fn, and enter).

H. Hardy (played by Jeremy Irons).
