We've come a long way
Wouldn't you know, this ugly thing used to be my daily driver. It was a behemoth, so big that it could fit a GTA4 sticker. Here's the story, back in 2007/08 I don't know how I stumbled upon this split keyboard. As I'm writing this, I opened up a tab to see if the site still exists, it doesn't, and I think it's a good thing, we've moved on from clunky ugly looking keyboards that aren't even ortholinear. The whole premise was that this doctor designed a split keyboard for unlucky patients that got carpel tunnel syndrome. I wanted to avoid it while saving a few bucks, at the time the kinesis advantage existed, but it wasn't exactly a split keyboard, although it's probably a better keyboard than this thing. But what really made me purchase this thing was the fact that it was a refurbished model and those are cheaper. The story continues, I don't really live the US even though I was born there, but I used to visit this apartment in South Padre Island, a time share that my grandma acquired for the extended family. Included in my purchase of the keyboard was a doctor's visit from the man himself (I really don't remember his name). But since it's a time share, the moment the unit arrived I wasn't there, but my bitch ass aunt. I can call her that, nobody really likes her in my family. And she's not the smartest mexican, barely speaks english (we all do). The doctor was just doing his job, and ended up recommending a psychologist, a hilarious turn of events I would say. She's just hateful to be honest. Either way, if you could ask for me in said apartment bulding, it's a running joke now, SeaVista Condominiums #404 (even the number is a bit of a meme, because I'm not found).
I went on a bit of a tangent there, but no biggie, I'm writing all this on an ergodox, I can go on for days and not feel a thing. I'm thinking of what to do with this old thing, trash it, give it away to charity. It's horrible now, I can't imagine anyone using it and enjoying it. Any suggestions?
