i lol'd hard - but isn't that more of an ePiano than a keyboard?

@hakflem
very interesting read. thank you.


sorry, i can't really help on the topic. i just use my microsoft x6 (because of the 6 extra keys on the left and the possibility to put the numpad on the left of the keyboard) or whatever keyboard i like at the moment. i choose them things because of design (a little) and ergonomics (mostly).
for example i like those cheap comfort curve 2000 ones from microsoft, too...

rebind the keys and it has a ton of functionality, even a fancy lcd screen!

nice idea, but i think my nitpicking missed its purpose.
btw.: wouldn't that one be really hard to mash a button with? last time i tried playing one of those i needed a lot more power for a keypress than on a keyboard...

as to my nitpicking fail (in case anyone cares):
in germany there is a distinction between epianos and keyboards. whereas the latter are smaller/cheaper versions of the former, mostly without the capability to stand by themselves. they need an extra stand for that. and have no pedals...
so.. in german it would be epiano for what you linked, keyboard -> see attachment and "tastatur" for... well... the keyboard i'm typing with right now.


hm. now you got me thinking. my dad should still have that old keyboard (the instrument, not the peripheral)... what could one do with that, when connected via a midi-port?
