The Model 01 - an original keyboard concept for work and home
In today's world, most people spend a huge amount of time sitting at the keyboard. At work and at home, we chat with friends, look for information on the open spaces of the network or play games. For all these actions, we most often use standard keyboards with a QWERTY layout invented 35 years ago. Since then, manufacturers as soon as not sophisticated with design and materials, however, the keyboard concept itself remained unshakable.
The authors of The Model 01 are going to change this situation and for this, on the Kickstarter platform, they launched a campaign to raise money for their development.
The developers promise us a completely new product. The keyboard should be as responsive as possible, convenient and easy to use. Externally, The Model 01 resembles a butterfly. The keyboard is divided into two "wings", each of which contains about half of the standard keyboard layout. The familiar gap is now placed under the thumb of the right hand, and its shape is also changed. The ctrl, alt and shift keys are also located there, they are also duplicated on the left half of the device.
The keyboard supports alternative layouts, such as, for example, Dvorak. The authors promise a smooth key travel and programmable backlight. True, they warn that for confident use of the device it will be necessary to practice a month or two. However, when you fully master typing on such a device, you can perform all your actions up to two times faster than on conventional keyboards.
Such an increase in productivity will greatly help people whose work is constantly associated with typing. For example, to writers or scholars. It will also be useful for schoolchildren and students, more precisely, for their diligent part - for those who write their essays and term papers themselves, and not download them from the Internet.
To start production, the developers asked the community for $ 120 thousand, but within 2 weeks they were able to collect almost three times more. The Model 01 can be ordered for $ 349 with delivery in Russia. Dispatch will begin in April 2016.
