Datamancer's Incredible Ergonomic Steampunk Keyboard

110308_rg_ergosteampunk_01.jpgSteampunk has become all of the rage recently. A lot of modified PCs, cell phones and other items are turning up, mostly made by DIY enthusiasts. Datamancer has gone a step further. In an effort to make the traditional Steampunk keyboard more ergonomic, he's come up with this Steampunk version.

 
 

110308_rg_ergosteampunk_02.jpgDatamancer was busy recently making his ergonomic Steampunk keyboard. He used a very rare IBM Model M-15 split ergonomic keyboard as his base and modified it extensively to obtain the Datamancer Ergo, the ergonomic Steampunk keyboard.

110308_rg_ergosteampunk_03.jpgWhy is it people love Steampunk so much? Maybe because it infuses a bit of soul and art into soulless machines and computers. Needless to say that this keyboard looks simply amazing. The old fashion typewriter style push-buttons look pretty neat as well. I wonder how fast people can type on these... [via Make]
