Sighted at the IFA trade show currently taking place in Berlin is this funky red ergonomic keyboard. Sure, we’ve all seen/used keyboards in the past that have promised to save wear and tear on our fingers but this nifty little circular keyboard was designed in mind for the serious gamer.

Toshiba made it and owns the patent on it. There are 55 keys circled around the pad; notice how this keyboard is a QWERGT design and the O, B and K keys are separate buttons? Toshiba says that their keyboard has extra large control buttons to make playing games easier for your digits.

I’d love to try this out and see if it’s a pain in the butt to use or if it really helps you out switching between matches of “Unreal Tournament” and then sending off an in-game taunt to your opponents.

Price and availability wasn’t mentioned by Toshiba, but those secondary characters on the keyboard’s buttons strongly hint at it being an eastern market release. Two more photos of the keyboard are available after the jump below.
