As always, I am constantly looking for the perfect keyboard. Since my laptop’s monitor died and I am stuck at a desk (vs where ever), my research into them has dropped to minimal effort.
But today I see an article about the “new” keyboards out there. LiveScience.com has a video article (short and sweet) about the different ergonomic keyboards out there.
The video article mentions a several keyboards. I’m not sure on the spelling of the last two and will be looking them up in a minute.
Kinesis Advantage
Goldtouch
Kinesis Freestyle (check out the YouTube video)
Safetype (the site has sound come on when you first load the page so be aware and don’t jump out of your skin like I did!)
G-tech (also has sound! and has more annoying sounds as you move the cursor across a link. annoying)
das keyboard (not sure why this one was included in the article….)
Saitech – couldn’t find the keyboard on their site. Again, not sure why this one was listed in terms of ergonomics
I-tech
Another site, speedingcomputer.com, had a listing of “25 Coolest (and most unconventional) keyboards” almost all the keyboards above, plus several others. The most intriguing are the AlphaGrip and the Combimouse.
I find myself drawn, still, to the Kinesis Advantage and to their new Freestyle. I like that the Freestyle can come with a 20″ cord between the two sections. I don’t like that I have to buy all these accessories to make it at an angle or curved.
