    Ok but there is a reason this aesthetic doesn’t exist anymore.

    This design is uncomfortable to use at best.

    It also looks bad to most people. But the worst part about it is the discomfort from using such a design. It’s why separate keyboard and mice have been invented.

    Something like this might be good for answering an email or two or sending a text message. But typing with your thumbs is slow and error prone. It’s bad design for a computer.

      A good majority of things posted here will probably be or look obsolete. I don’t think anyone will disagree with you. This is mostly for fun and also why it’s a niche. I myself have a few mechanical keyboards I used in this esthetic. Would a flat keyboard that uses membrane be better? Probably, it would at least drive my wife a little less mad.
