                  A keyboard that might be tolerable to use

The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard [1] (link via Lobsters [2]) has a unique
design, looking like a slightly-undersized normal keyboard but one that can
split in half to allow for ergonomic positioning. It also split the spacebar
in half, with the right side being the spacebar, and the leftside being
another modifier key (personally, I would map the modifer key to backspace—it
makes sense to me). I'm also glad to see them use a real mechanical switch
with various models having differing “stiffness” factors (I really like the
clicky keyboards). I do like the ability to mimic the mouse from the keyboard
though.

The price, however, is a bit on the high side. But then again, I haven't
spent more than $20 for a keyboard (even used, the IBM Model M [3] are solid
enough to bludegon lusers with and yet, have a wonderful feel, if they are
bit “clicky”).
