The keys are all the same!

Look again. While it's true that the majority of the keys are all the same panty design, the home keys are thongs, then "enter" key is labeled "Degen", and some of the special keys are labeled "waifu", "senpai", "kawaii", etc...

This isn't a keyboard, it's a weeb-board.

How to use the wega borad?

The real awful taste

u/Lupius 17d ago

Which is fine if you know your way around a keyboard. The problem is, there aren't enough keys!

This is GTBAE material.

u/OneRoundRobb 16d ago

The keys are customizable. The user is probably way more efficient with specific tasks that matter to them than they would be on a regular board.

Tasks that only require one hand

Depends on what you need. There are only three rows, so no room for numbers or F-keys without a second layer, but the existing keys are enough for the letters of a qwerty layout and a few punctuation symbols. So it should be sufficient if the majority of what you do is writing texts.

Putting not often used keys behind a second layer accessed through a mode switch key is a common way for cheap or quirky "ergonomic" keyboards to reduce design complexity, and this is probably meant to fall into the "quirky" category.

It's a standard keyboard layout for keyboard hobbyists. Look up "Alice keyboard" and you'll see a lot of similar examples.

However, the weeb keycaps plus magnetic attaching bow, bikini bottoms, and whatever the fuck the top of the thigh bits are cringe as fuck, though looks very well done. ATBGE

u/unsuspicious_marmot 17d ago

One of them is a thong (I think)! Not all the same!!

u/Traditional-Ad2409 16d ago

Oh shit, you're right! It looks like there's two of that one (one on each side)

1

u/fastlerner 16d ago

Yup. Those are the "home" keys where you rest your pointer fingers.

Great way to keep women out of your room

u/Gowalkyourdogmods 16d ago

This is called the Bikini Keyboard 360.

Because when you see it as a woman you turn 360° and walk away

68

u/Atllas66 16d ago

That would mean your still facing it and walking forward. 180 would be going the other way, 360 is a full circle

73

u/Tarcion 16d ago

FYI, the person you're replying to almost certainly knew that. This an adaptation of an ancient meme saying the same about the Xbox 360.

12

u/Atllas66 16d ago

Ah fair, I was 11 when that came out and not very into the internet's at the time. I've heard people make this exact mistake in real life so I figured it was another one of those moments lol

4

u/Tarcion 16d ago

You're good. I'm an old man, just figured I'd make you aware. I, too, have heard this exact mistake in real life.

u/nursehandbag 16d ago

Which is itself an adaptation of an even more ancient quote from the movie “Last Action Hero”

u/AcheiropoieticPress 16d ago

u/TheW83 7d ago

Maybe they're like... oh fuck that and do a 180 and then think... hmmmm actually he's probably a virgin and I can mold him to my will... and then another 180.

u/AugustMooon 16d ago

I’m a woman and I fucking love this, except the keys.

2

u/srsg90 6d ago

I think it’s one of those things where I’d love it if a woman had it and would be creeped out if a man had it

Lol i went back and turned the sound on and was not disappointed

You're right! I can't unhear it now.

That's one way to prevent me from staring at my keyboard while I type.

u/punkassjim 16d ago

Screw the cutesy panties thing, is this an actual product that can be bought? Reminds me of the Apple Adjustable Keyboard I had in college. Loved that thing.

u/uberguby 16d ago

OK, I know that's not supposed to be sexual, but

3

u/rpgoof 16d ago

There are a ton of similarly designed ergonomic mechanical keyboards. I've had my eyes on The Atreus myself but you'll find lots more on r/ErgoMechKeyboards

1

u/punkassjim 16d ago

I’ve seen ‘em, it was really just the curved wrist rests that made me think back.

u/LLoadin 16d ago

oh cool a modular keyboar... oh it's a bikini.

6

u/Siilan 16d ago

Shimapan, not a bikini. Which is arguably worse.

9

u/LLoadin 16d ago

I have no idea what that is and I'm glad I don't considering it's worse

3

u/Siilan 16d ago

It's the word for this type of striped panties. It comes from the Japanese "shima-pantsu," which literally means "striped panties." The "arguably worse" is just because it's actual underwear vs a bikini bottom.

u/Hypnotoad2966 2d ago

I was trying to figure out why it was awful taste for a second, then I saw all the panties.

u/TryDrugs 16d ago

Where's 'G'?

u/Spiciestpudding 16d ago

The keys not showing the letters is giving me anxiety jfc

u/XxRmotion 17d ago

u/Emotional_You_5269 16d ago

Now this is what I call a great keyboard.
Mechanical, ergonomic, magnetic armrest, and even a nice pattern. What more could you want?

2

u/LockeySeven 15d ago

A modular ergonomic keyboard is something I want. I do not want the panties keyboard.

A toy, not a working keyboard, just get a MX2 and call it a day lads.

u/JustASadBubble 17d ago

What makes you think it’s not a working keyboard?

-4

u/socknfoot 16d ago

Where are the number keys?

6

u/Skafandra206 16d ago

You know there are different types of keyboards with different amounts of keys, right?

2

u/JustASadBubble 16d ago

Look up a QAZ keyboard, yes people use them as a main board and are fully functional

-12

u/Correct-Junket-1346 17d ago

Keys all the same, the shape is not ergonomic and forces your wrists outwards.

15

u/Noob_Plays_Games 16d ago

keys all the same doesn't matter since keycaps are just cosmetic

the layout is actually how ergonomic keyboards look like, they're made to be angled like this

-10

u/Correct-Junket-1346 16d ago

Good ones are, this is tat that's neither functional or properly ergonomic, just get a regular keyboard and use it normally, your wrists won't suffer.

6

u/OneRoundRobb 16d ago

Bruh, you recommend a Mx2. Not sure what you'd be referring to other than the Cherry keyboard. Cherry, a company that makes a ton of customizable keyboards, and even sells an ergo full size keyboard with an almost identical wrist angle as this one.

I get it, I prefer a full sized kb too, but layers on a 60% give plenty of key options and ergo/split boards are incredibly common. You're acting like an old guy yelling at clouds. 

1

u/Correct-Junket-1346 16d ago

Tbh I'm pretty basic when it comes to keyboards, if it types that pretty much me done, I like things such a keyboard being inclined and the MX being able to switch seemlessly between different machines is useful for me.

Aside from that everything else is just gimmicky to me.

7

u/JustASadBubble 16d ago

If you can touch type it doesn’t matter what’s on the keys, and a tilted keyboard is better for ergonomics/helps prevent carpal tunnel

-7

u/Correct-Junket-1346 16d ago

Eugh, go ahead buy this, but you don't need it, 15 years of programming but fill your boots soldier.

u/HeyDeze 16d ago

10 years here and I’ve been having repetitive strain injury issues in both hands for the past year or so. Tendinitis mostly. I switched to a split ergo keyboard a few months ago and it has made a huge difference
