I would love to try out this keyboard. Unlike some of you young slobs, I keep my keyboard immaculate, so cost is not an object for me IF it actually is such an ergonomic wonder. I'm on a keyboard all day long at work, so RSI is a daily risk for me. I'm not likely to buy this though, because I have yet to find another ergonomic keyboard with a touchpad right where I like it (currently using an Adesso touchpad keyboard). It helps alleviate my shoulder strain from too much mousing. Middle age sucks. I miss my days of gaming all day long with a $5 keyboard.
 
I must be the only person in the world who uses their index finger on their right hand to hit the 'B' key instead of the left hand. I can't stand keyboards that have a split down the middle like this because I like to hit the 'B' key with my right hand. If it wasn't for that I'd probably really like the idea.
 
THE_Ted: You're not alone. I also must have an odd finger-key-behaviour because keyboards with split key areas drive me crazy. For example, I definitely also experience the "B-button-problem".
 
Despite the insanely high price, this is the best ergonomic keyboard ever created. The one and only competitor to this keyboard is the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and the Smartfish Engage keyboard beats it hands down. Your keyboard should adjust to your hands, not the other way around.
 
Nice idea. I tend to like the cheap keyboards and simpler mouses, but if I ever thought I needed something ergonomic beyond my jelly pad, I consider their stuff ..

Hey, its not the $2000 OLED keyboard...
 
[citation][nom]razzb3d[/nom]Also I FKING HATE these new slim-key keyboards. The feel like shart. I like BIG KEYS with MODERATE TRAVEL that don't wobble and a decent amount of space between them. I can barely type on my new laptop without pressing 2 keys at once.[/citation]

Buy a ThinkPad, they have "old style" real keys, not the modern "Island" keys started by Apple and now copied by everyone. The ThinkPad L series starts at about $600 (14~15") with generic layout. ThinkPad T series is a more pro-level layout (which I prefer) but they start at $900. Go to the Lenovo site... mail order is about 5~9 days typically (free shipping I think).

My Desktop keyboard was made in 1997... yep, its 14 years old! Its not even a PS/2 type... but an OLD AT connector with an adapter. I'll be using it on my next PC upgrade later this year... I'm very used to it and will MISS it when it does. It doesn't have DECALS for letters on the keys... but real two-plastic construction (the letters will never wear off) that Keyboard markers stop doing about 6+ years ago. Some HP keyboards use paint...

The lighted keyboards are simply painted clear keys.
