Posted by admin in Over the past few years, there has been an amazing evolution in keyboard designs. Gone are the days when keyboards had the standard monochromatic colour scheme and came in rectangular shapes. Today keyboards are ergonomically enhanced and come in a number of different shapes and sizes to suit all kinds of tastes. To give you an idea, here are 5 of the funkiest and quirkiest keyboard designs available.
The Datamancer Ergo

It is essentially an IBM M-15 ergonomic split keyboard that has been converted into a novelty keyboard with violet LED lights, acanthus-leaf patterns in addition to a soft wrist pad for optimum comfort while typing. A perfect combination of the traditional and the modern, this keyboard has keys inspired by old typewriters as well as a button-less touchpad mouse in the centre.
