This keyboard was originally designed for a pharmacist and is themed around Apothecarial and Alchemical icons including the Bowl of Hygeia, the Caduceus, and the Eye of Ra (from which the modern “Rx” symbol used by pharmacists is derived).
The function keys display the elemental symbols of the various metals used in the construction of the keyboard, as well as a few others. The tilde and number keys display the symbols for the sun, moon and the planets.
Secundum artem (on the space bar) is a Latin phrase meaning “according to the art.” It is frequently used to describe doing something in the accepted manner of a skill or trade; in medicine, it is often taken to mean “use your skill and judgment.”
