Birth of ``copy and paste keyboard'' April Fool's jokes come true (page 1/2)

The "copy and paste keyboard" that was the subject of April Fool's Day has been commercialized overseas. Due to its popularity, it will soon run out of stock.

The keyboard for copy and paste was originally an April Fool's joke on the programming-related Q&A site Stack Overflow. It was announced as a device for copying and pasting code from the same site, equipped with only the Stack Overflow mark, "C" (copy), and "V" (paste) keys.

As a result of many requests for actual sales in response to this joke, it was decided to commercialize it. Launched by Stack Overflow in collaboration with custom keyboard maker Drop.

The price is $ 29 (about 3200 yen). Other keys can also be assigned, and functions other than copy and paste can also be used. It ran out of stock shortly after it was released, but Drop is taking pre-orders for additional shipments in December.
