Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.
Shift is A, Caps Lock is Z, Control & Backspace is spacebar.
Don’t ask me why, I just searched the image and found the reddit thread that this post is riffing from and got my answers

You couldn’t have written this on that keyboard. That keyboard has no a (or z).
Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts about to spend 1500$ on a keyboard missing over half it’s keys
At least you still can press Alt+F4
You can remap it to require less finger gymnastics… I prefer super+q, personally.
Two Alt keys and no space bar?
A real Geek only need this one
you got way too many keys you can just type with one button and one button (hold)
That requires more circuitry. Just have the computer check every 0.25s, and if you have depressed the button it is a 1, else a 0.
Instructions unclear, executed a perfect BLJ.
Yahoo intensifies
the only problem this has is there’s no way to telling the pc to stop inputting keys
It’s for more confort
No Z key ?
You’ve got an ‘S’ key, so that’s enough.
Alphabet didn’t turn enough profit this quarter, so they had to make some difficult choices and cut their less used options
It’s the one labelled ‘caps-lock’. Probably needs a key combo to actually toggle caps-lock.
Similarly the left ‘shift’ is also the ‘a’ key. I would guess tap for ‘a’, hold for ‘shift’.
Managers will still expect you to do 60% of your work on 60% of your keyboard.
I want a keyboard that is just one main key with 100 or so modifier keys surrounding it.
Let’s embrace that stenotype life.
Can someone explain why this would be even slightly useful to anyone?
How does one type without a and z?
Like this.
it is possible if you get enough time to think of every word, you just need to to find synonims so you don’t write specific letters, often needing to switch both words/speech style

oh god help me…
I SO hate the CapsLock, the most useless key in the best of locations. I converted it to XCape on all my keebs!
