Nistur: i don't have skills to build my own, i was just curious what you came up with. my vision of a physical penti keyboard was something almost as flat as a tablet, with barely any curvature, just enough so you could put it on your lap and then connected to a usb chord or via bluetooth to a device you're staring at, so as to sit in a chair and chat moving your fingers without need for a desk table
<KomiaPoika>
or any sort of hard flat surface, and not needing to actually hold the device in your hand. if you got to hold anything you may just as well hold your tablet and use software penti

KomiaPoika: I have never seen Ghost in the Shell, so I don';t know what you're talking about, but I think that the original physical penti keyboard was flat. I just wanted to go for an 'ergonomic' design... and I kind of failed at that
<KomiaPoika>
Nistur: I heartily recommend for you to watch manga the first Ghost in the Shell)
<Nistur>
ehhhhh... it's really not my thing
<Nistur>
the whole japanese-animation thing is not for me
<Nistur>
was never really fond of it to begin with, then at university I had a friend that tried desperately hard to find something I would like and... it kind of burnt the whole aesthetic for me even more
<Nistur>
it's either incredibly over the top nonsense, or it's incredibly dull and boring
<Nistur>
I've had a lot of people try to suggest different things, and I've tried a lot... but nothing has really interested me
<Nistur>
actually, that's a lie... one person did send me one thing, and, my memory of it is that it was actually pretty watchable... for the first 5 minutes or something... then I realised that it was... let's just say "adult" in nature. I can't remember if I watched it all or not... but yeah, that one thing in the many many many shows and movies I've been suggested to watch has been not-terrible... I'm fully
<Nistur>
open to the fact that there are probably more... but the ratio of hits to misses is so low, that it's really not worth me spending any more of my very very little free time trying
<beneroth>
there is an americanished Ghost of the Shell movie from a few years back. All in all not one of my most favorite movies, but I guess it captures quite some of the Ghost in the Shell aesthetics
<beneroth>
manga/anime culture is quite diverse and as some quite deep stuff. but as with everything, Sturgeon's Law applies.
<beneroth>
the original penti was not flat, more a bit like a mouse. I've got a picture somewhere, and I saw the real thing (not working anymore, I believe) once when I visited abu[m]
<beneroth>
I'd guess abu[m] can say/show a bit better
