Weird was the word people used when referring to the ergonomic keyboard, back in those days when they first appeared. And, if you think about it, it’s understandable, as they looked different from any other keyboard that was available in the market.




Weird is the word I am tempted to use when looking at the keyboard above, which doesn’t look familiar to me, even if I have had the chance to see all sorts of unusual products so far. It is called the Combimouse and is a combination between a keyboard and a mouse. As you can see for yourselves, it is equipped with the QWERTY keyboard that we all know very well and with a built-in standard mouse.



It’s also very easy to observe that there are two different parts of the keyboard, the right one being very similar to an arrow that points to the other half. If you wonder why the designer has thought to such a design, let me tell you there is some logic in it: the “arrow” can slide on the desk, being able to act just like a regular mouse. So, you can use this half as a keyboard, as long as you don’t move it around to your desk. The moment it senses the movement, the keyboard turns into a mouse and you’ll see the cursor move. Yeah, you’re right, the keys are the click buttons: I, O, J, K and L.

More than that, it seems that this concept keyboard has been tested at the Wichita State University, where it was a real success. For the moment, you can only go to the product’s page and see how the concept keyboard works, as it’s not available for purchase.
