Well bite my shiny metal ass - how is there no wikipedia entry for “meh key”? They have alt key, control key, and even super key, but no meh key. I’m curious if the meh key came from a specific keyboard or what the origins are.

        Ah, sorry. I was answering about hyper.

        The earliest reference to “meh key” I’m turning up on Kagi is from ErgoDox’s Indiegogo in 2015.

        They may have coined the term.

          I am pretty confident you’re right about the origin. Ergodox wanted to add an additional macro key and needed a name for a less hyper Hyper key. Since then a couple other keyboard manufacturers adopted it. Much like its name, its history is also “meh”
