141.101.99.100: Adds nothing useful. If intended to list all the 'subheaders' (rendered by just bolding, not even the more usual ";"-prefix, which also wouldn't TOCify) then you have more exiting to do.

	'''Unlimited Key Travel'''		'''Unlimited Key Travel'''

−	Key travel is the distance a key moves between its unpressed and pressed states. In reality, laptop keys only move a few millimeters before bottoming out, and conventional keyboards up to about a centimeter. Increased key travel may make typing more comfortable, up to a point. However, the usefulness of having unlimited key travel is unclear, and the question of how this would be physically possible in the keyboard depicted remains unanswered. The keyboard would have to be infinitely deep to allow unlimited key travel, although pushing it to the near bottom would require infinitely long fingers. At least it is the greatest possible value, trumping any other keyboard.	+	Key travel is the distance a key moves between its unpressed and pressed states.

The keyboard would have to be infinitely deep to allow unlimited key travel, although pushing it to the near bottom would require infinitely long fingers. At least it is the greatest possible value, trumping any other keyboard. A more down-to-earth interpretation could be that the keyboard does have a finite depth but the key simply doesn't work. This would man that no key travel, no matter how big, would result in a signal being sent - which would be a way to define unlimited key travel.

-In the same vein (and with the same humor) as the [[METAR]], the XKeyboarCD seems to be an overly inventive and borderline ludicrous keyboard intended for some unknown audience. It has an assortment of features (some fairly normal, some more exotic) which give it a..."diverse skill set". This may be in reference to {{w|Space-cadet keyboard}}s which were made for programmers and had several keys not present on standard QWERTY keyboards.

 '''Hardcoded Plastic Keys for the 5 Most Useful Emoji'''
-This feature parodies the feature of some laptop-keyboards where it is possible to dynamically assign emojis to a small touchscreen area. There is a disaccord between hard-coded, useful and emoji, especially with the large keys in a central position on the keyboard. Which emojis would be "the most useful" is highly subjective. For example in the comic it shows the quite popular laughing with tears emoji, along with the octopus emoji and others. Notably, the "aerial tramway" was once the least-used emoji, and remains very rarely used.
