Linux users soon will have an opportunity to buy keyboards specially designed for the open source operating system. In late September, Cherry GmbH will launch what the company claims is the world's first Linux keyboard.
The Cherry CyMotion Master Linux keyboard shows the Linux penguin logo, known as Tux, on what would be the Windows start key of a Microsoft keyboard and features 29 "hot keys" configured for the Linux operating system and Linux desktop applications, according to Cherry Marketing Director Gunter Vogl. "We are responding to numerous requests from Linux users to design a keyboard that gives them all the familiar features of a Windows-based keyboard, such as the ability to browse the Web, check e-mail, or play a CD," Vogl says. "We have developed the necessary drivers to provide these features."
