Video A Warm-Feeling Wooden Keyboard (Video) 82
Video no longer available.
Plastic, plastic everywhere! Except on most surfaces of the Keyboardio ergonomic keyboard, which started as a 'scratch his itch' project by Jesse Vincent. According to his blurb on the Keyboardio site, Jesse 'has spent the last 20 years writing software like Request Tracker, K-9 Mail, and Perl. He types... a lot. He tried all the keyboards before finally making his own.'
His objective was to make a keyboard he really liked. And he apparently has. This video was shot in June, and Jesse already has a new model prototype under way that Tim Lord says is a notable improvement on the June version he already liked. || Note that the Keyboardio is hackable and open source, so if you think you can improve it, go right ahead.

From TFA:
Heirloom-grade craftsmanship
From the best mechanical keyswitches to aircraft-grade aluminum construction, this is a keyboard that will last.
If that's "wooden," I must ask: What kind of tree do you get aircraft-grade aluminum and/or mechanical keyswitches from?

Aluminum Christmas trees. We grow them here in the Pacific Northwest. Why do you think we make so many airplanes?
