I've witness that. A coworker brought his ergo keyboard to a Redhat class/lab/exam. The instructor said if that thing was still on the computer when he had to configure them for the lab exams that he would fail. I imagine by now they have fully automated the lab setup so the keyboard doesn't matter but it did at one point.

Also the instructor didn't prevent him from using his ergo keyboard, he just asked him to put back the regular keyboard after he is done with it.
- LinuxBender 5y agoThis was exactly the case. The ergo keyboard was his personal preference. He did have wrist issues, but the keyboard was not prescribed. He put back the keyboard that came with the lab computer and he passed the exam.
