There is http://TrulyErgonomic.com http://TrulyErgonomic.com as well, which has the added benefit of being a mechanical keyboard, It would be the next keyboard I would look at buying (since my current Leopold is giving me a lot of strain during extended coding periods)
- lflux 14y agoIt has the same bug as the original MS keyboard, the arrow keys are in a cross and not an inverted-T. Not sure if I agree with the placement of pgup/dn, enter and backspace either.
- watty 14y agoHoly expensive, $230? I realize it's mechanical but that's still a lot of money. If the design is so superior why would there not be non-mechanical alternatives in the $50 range?
- astrodust 14y agoIt's because people shopping for a $50 keyboard don't care about that sort of thing. They probably want backlit keys or macro buttons.
- loup-vaillant 14y agoFor the same reason the keys are still staggered on most keyboard: ignorance, stupidity, and risk aversion. You don't need much of each: they feed on each other to preserve the status quo. Many people seem to believe that slanting the keys to the left is actually more ergonomic than a straight "matrix" design. And I think manufacturers aren't willing to risk selling keyboards that don't have the usual look. The natural keyboard is no different. They sell one idea: splitting the keyboard. The rest doesn't change because it would spur too many questions, and maybe cost them customers.
