Grex Cyberpunk Item 159: heavy keyboard modding
Entered by borgel on Mon Jan 14 16:34:01 UTC 2002:

Me and my friend came up with a project the other day: we want to split up
a keyboard and put each half on an arm on his  chair. After doing a little
research, I've realize that this would be much more difficult than previously
imagined. I did see a web site with the same project, but the keyboard tht
the guy had purachased was already split, while we wanna do all of that
ourselves (plus, the keyboard was over $150). It seems like it would be
easiest to split something like a natural ergonomic keyboard, but I havent
yet looked into ir or radio. Does anyone have any ideas they'd like to share?
And has anyone ever seen a wireless and ergonomic keyboard?

There was a page by a guy who split an existing keyboard.  I don't know if
it's still around, but what he did was to carefully cut a standard keyboard
in half (paying special attention to the circuit board) and then ran wires
to replace the circuit traces between the halves.

I'd do a search at slashdot.org and see what you come up with.

The page I found was from a wrist problem site.  Lemmee see if I can find it
(it's bookmarked at work!)...  OK, the main site is at http://www.tifaq.org
and it doesn't look like I can find the site I mentioned in #1.  Oh well, no
big surprise that a project site by a teenager doesn't exist a couple years
later.
