Mark 5 Keyboard

I've been evolving a new keyboard design based on the research behind the TRON TK-1. This week's variant is slightly tweaked to better fit my shoulder width and my thumbs' ranges of motion.

Also, I have some spare material from the lasercutter that'll make a perfect valentine.

Aww... A heart-shaped keyboard for Valentine's Day.
Which profile do you use for the thumb-keys? The keys on the Tron keyboards I have seen are rounded like something in-between a regular one-unit key and a space bar.

If you have any research papers about the Tron keyboard, I would love to read them. (In English, I can't read Japanese...)

At the moment, "the wrong ones" - I don't believe the original TK1 had the same awesomely shaped keys as the mTRON. I'll likely end up either 3D printing them or using some keys from the ErgoDOX Massdrop.

http://fsck.com/~jesse/tmp/2013-02-13/0 ... a/tron.pdf is a bad scan of one paper I scanned from the 1987 proceedings of the TRON conference.

Looks good!
This one resembles a lot of what i'm currently working on: http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/code ... t4488.html

Thanks for the paper!
