Ergonomic Split Keyboard Turned Steampunk

Ergonomic split keyboards have always been hideous looking. Who wants two halves of a keyboard, anyway? Stenographers, that’s who. So, Datamancer turned a rare IBM M-15 Ergo Keyboard into a steampunk keyboard for steampunk stenographers who’ve been looking for a matching keyboard to go with their headsets and goggles.

The quality of the keyboard is superb. Packing violet LED lights, a soft burgundy wrist pad and a detailed acanthus-leaf pattern on the brass, it almost appears to be merely an adjustment to appearance. However, Datamancer has done so much more. Adding an integrated touchpad mouse, which is located at the center of the keyboard, relieves its users of having to search for that hard-to-find steampunk mouse.

Double Bag Is A Deformed Ball Sack

Check this bag design out. See anything wrong with it? Of course you don’t, it looks too hip to have you distracted by flawed design. It’s called Double Bag and the name matches the look. The look being a post-pubescent scrotum after taking a hit from a fastball thrown by Walter Johnson. It reminds me of those portable crutches except without the blue balls.

It’s designed to carry your daily ham and cheese lunch meal with an extra spot for your water bottle conveniently co-joined with the rest of the bag. Yea, the bag hangs over your shoulder like a traditional purse but why in the heck does it need to link up with the other side or be able to break away at all? Sacrificing bag space for nothing more than a K’Nex piece doesn’t seem very ergonomic. You’d be better off with a Mooncloth bag. You can hold more with it and look just as queer.
