This is “tagtype,” a keyboard designed explicitly for the Japanese language. A relic from 2004, now at MOMA indefinitely.

Japanese uses fifty syllabic characters that can be written on a matrix of ten consonants multiplied by five vowels. This is a Qwerty approach to that formula. It was also built for accessibility, in construction and use.

Designer: Kinya Tagawa.

New video! I reviewed a pre-production version of the new mechanical Amiga keyboards from A1200net. These are suitable for most Amiga models and fit both the new replacement keycaps and the original keycaps, retaining the original look and feel of the machines.

Thumbnail for my video, showing my Amiga 1200 from the side. The A1200 is in a translucent case and has black keycaps installed. The overlayed text reads "An exclusive first (p)review of the new mechanical Amiga keyboards from A1200net".

Waiting for the moment when I share my cool 40% #keyboard and someone pops up out of nowhere and is like "a full alphabet? You are like a little baby to me." #MechanicalKeyboards #MechanicalKeyboard #keyboards

Cool looking morse code key. It's minimalist and of a contemporary design in silver and black.

just discovered @ListenBrainz - open and community driven music platform keeping track of your #music habits. what's really cool both, @jellyfin (via custom plugin, including favourites sync) and #navidrodrome (natively, no favourites so far), support #scrobble to #listenBrainz . time to say goodbye to #lastfm 😊 getting rid of propietary music streaming services got one step easier!

they only thing still missing is to #favourite / #like a currently playing song with a #keyboard #shortcut in @gnome . anyone has an idea how this can be done? audio controls (play/pause and next/previous track) work out of the box

#USB keyboards can't interrupt the CPU themselves, but the USB controller continuously polls them and will interrupt it on their behalf. Loudly.

A four-panel comic.

A small bird sits on a tree branch, quietly chirping x86 assembly instructions.

Suddenly, a much larger bird yells: “Hello it's me the keyboard! I have an important message: E!”

The small bird has stopped chirping and is visibly annoyed at having been rudely interrupted by the loud announcement of a single character being typed. — A four-panel comic.

I have found this beauty online and fallen in love with it but at the same time I am disheartened some keys will on-and-off either fail to input or input twice.

I already asked for a replacement, but seeing that some reviews also mention the issue, I am afraid all units might have this problem.

Sad because it's near impossible to find anything nearly like it at this price range and with this layout. I could settle for one with an English layout, but then who knows what the price will be to import it...
