Blake PattersonThis has to be the worst thing Sun has ever done.

Ken McLeod@blakespot It looks squishy and rubbery. Probably a little bit sticky as well. But what is up with the two space bars?
Wilm@_the_cloud @blakespot Dude! Inner space and outer space…
Miguel Arroz@_the_cloud @blakespot Sun overcomplicated things so much that a single spacebar was just too simple for them. 😅
Probably just something necessary since that keyboard can be rolled up, so keys have to be small.

It's a keyboard that you roll into a roll¹ and a full space would make that harder.
1. I'm blanking on an English term that wouldn't mean “rolling down a hill”.
Christian Gudrian@blakespot Who was this targeted at? Color blind divers?
gnateWe had one in a semi-industrial setting. The unavoidable gunk wouldn't keep the keys from working. (not Sun branded, and not pink, but likely the same product, whoever made it.)
onion@blakespot doesn't look like Java to me.
C64WhizThat's one of those "roll up" keyboards isn't it? I think they were used as gimmicks at conferences and shows?

It's worse, it's a whitelabel product.

David de Groot@blakespot It's not even the right shade of Sun purple.
