When you require more 'mechanical' in your keebler

... someone linked this in a Discord server and it's just too horrible not to repost.

Would have turned the switches the other way around tho.

There is someone out there who will still be faster on this than I am on a regular keyboard.
- But wearing chainmail gloves disqualifies them!
I could see it being possible to use, if they were the spring-loaded momentary toggles, and mounted upside down, so up was off. It would still be horrible, but possible.
- Another horrible idea, make just the change in position create a keystroke. That way the orientation doesn't matter
  
  How about it also have 3 stands.
  When flicking up it is a capital, flicking down is a regular letter
  
  Fucking brilliant.
  
  Fucking keytar hero shit. And not the cool keytars.
- Someone who plays StarCraft? Now that is something I have not seen in a long time.
Ah, the Tom Paris Edition!
- Needs a gauge of sorts & to be mounted overhead.
- Instructions unclear, made lizard babies
....cries out in carpal tunnel
- As someone who had carpal tunnel in both hands that had to be fixed surgically, this would be an absolute nightmare to use. My hands cramp just thinking about it.
Typing speed measured in flops
- Url only runs at 3 decahertz!
I bet there's actual gains to be made from the 8-way hat version of this keyboard.
- Only if you also add one of these:
  
  Finished with engine
  This is a mood
  
  I never knew I needed one of these until now
I'm getting some Pixar Lifted vibes from this!

- Ohhh, so that keyboard has a yoke too (for mouse movement)?
  Amazing!
just when i think i can't get any crazier
- Does it, at that specific point, become even crazier?
  Ngl, generally I find (non-violent) escalation entertaining.
  
  Hmmmmmmm.
  Hold my beer.
  
  indeed. but why no numpad? perhaps that could escalate things further.
I'm calling the cops.
- I'm not sure they have the power to arrest Satan incarnate.
Maybe that can be a useful ideia for someone that has Parkinson or something similar. It seems easier to avoid mistakes while "typing".
Make it so!
