Worth Reading?


NoYes

I’ve used an English language keyboard for years, mainly because it’s the only layout I feel comfortable with.  Though it’s not my preference, I’ve forced myself to just grit my teeth and make the best of a bad situation.  I’ve long desired a keyboard for a language I’m more comfortable with, and finally, that prayer has been answered.  I present to you – the Klingon keyboard.

The keyboard pretty much does what you’d expect – it looks just like the keyboard you use every day, except the English letters are replaced with Klingon characters.  The keyboard makes an usual decision, though, opting to make use of a PS/2 connector instead of USB, which could affect its adoption rate.  When you’re already marketing to a really tiny niche market, that’s not wise.

You can pick up the Klingon keyboard over at Cherry Keyboards.  It’ll cost you around $64, but if you’re a hardcore Trekkie, it’s probably a price worth paying.

    This is *almost* what I’ve always wanted. I was about to go hunt for a “pre-order” button over on the Cherry site when I took a closer look at the image. IT’S WRONG!!! I can’t use this keyboard for typing in tlhIngan Hol. I’ve been wanting a pIqaD keyboard for years, and I still don’t have one.
    Who do I need to talk to before they make a bunch of worthless keyboards?
    And that’s just the letters. Did you see the number keys? That’s OUR numbering system. What kind of a cut-rate project is this?

    How do you say “Nerds” in Klingon? Oh wait, I think I just did.
