I usually try to avoid featuring meme keyboards but I stumbled upon this one and couldn't resist…
This "service" by visiticeland.com, which is the official tourism website for Iceland, lets you outsource your emails to cute local horses during your holiday:
Iceland’s wonderful horses will reply to your work emails so you can enjoy all of Iceland’s other wonders. Seriously.
First I thought this was just a marketing prank but it seems they actually made a working horse-sized board – in a hybrid 60% ANSI-ISO form factor to be precise.
You may be wondering if we really taught Iceland’s horses to reply to work emails so travelers like you could relax. And the answer is Já!
To tell the truth, even halfway into the short werkfilm (below), I was pretty sure the keyboard made of plywood is just a nonfunctional mock-up.
However, at about 1:00, you can see some keypresses actually register for a fraction of a second.
