JCo Audio built a Raspberry Pi-powered MIDI spoon piano that sounds unique to say the least. The twelve metal spoons serve as the keys of the piano, placed on a wooden base similar to those of the white and black keys of a conventional keyboard.
There’s the Compal Rover, and then the SZBOX DS16, an interesting laptop that ditches a physical keyboard for two 16-inch (1920 x 1200) touchscreen displays. The bottom display can be propped up for an more optimal viewing angle, but you’ll still have to settle for a virtual keyboard.
