The Fulcrum by ghostfaceschiller aka dschil138, a wireless ergonomic keyboard featuring 5-way switch joysticks mounted horizontally, has two versions now:

I made a post last week about the original version, which has 20 keys. I realize most people don't really want just 20 keys, so I made a 40% version as well – ghostfaceschiller.

The angled platform for the joysticks has been also redesigned to be smaller/more discrete.
