Already happening: https://tex.com.tw/products/shinobi
Custom keyboard with mechanical switches, closely following the original, non-chiclet Thinkpad keybaord layout, and it has a trackpoint.

After fixing the ergos I would always recommend a Unicomp (www.pckeyboard.com) keyboard. Unicomp is the former typewriter/keyboard division (or whats left) of IBM/Lexmark.
The boss would always freak out, "I am not spending a freaking 100 bucks on a keyboard when Walmart has them for $9"
I lent them one of mine. The carpal faded and their productivity went up as the wpm started to climb. I came back and reclaimed it. A week later the boss called and asked where one could get this stupid expensive keyboard. End of story. Happened 3 times.
Too bad they stopped making the white Model M years ago, but they are still the better of the buckling spring style keyboards. (IMHO)
Maybe system76 should talk to Unicomp. They are made in Lexington, Kentucky.

I never thought I could see something like the keyboard.io from a major computer vendor! Maybe eventually even in a laptop? Sign me up. Also I'm in Denver and will totally volunteer to help with Colemak support in any way I can if it'll help.

Well, after reading a lot of strange things( thanks god no one asked for buttons for Grenade/Rocket Launchers.. ),
I think I can beat all of you hands down..
So here is my purpose:
Make a KISS keyboard, no letters in any key, control it by brain commands..

The irony of being a mechanical keyboard enthusiast is that even though the first one I bought was the cheapest and not the greatest brand it's still great and still going strong. I have no real justification for buying these others! I'm looking forward to see what the System76 treatment looks like. It's been awhile since I bought that last one....
