Via Waxy, I found this magnificent keyboard: Das Keyboard.
It’s a keyboard, yes, without lettering! Brilliant.
Since there is no key to look at when typing, your brain will quickly adapt and memorize the key positions and you will find yourself typing a lot faster with more accuracy in no time.
Now, if only I had this type of keyboard patented: I remember having an overused keyboard where that same paint that made up the lettering literally disappeared on my coding fingertips (uh, I have to thank Alfons for using that same keyboard too). And the hilarity and confusion that keyboard caused when during a late Friday night visit, a friend wanted to write an e-mail to someone, stopped and loudly exclaimed: ‘Hey, where are the letters!’.
I’m so jealous of not being the first to have a business plan ready those days. I’ll tell you what: for a small amount of money, I make your keyboard lettering disappear so you can have your own wanna-be Das Keyboard! Or I mean, an original Art Keyboard ™.
1. Like I said: brilliant concept.
