The Goldtouch keyboard has, in some form, been a standby of ergonomic arsenals for almost twenty years. Its flagship feature is infinite adjustability to match the needs of individual users. There’s no separation between the halves, but you can do splay, tenting, and just about anything else you like with the Goldtouch.
Solid and sleek, Logitech’s K350 Comfort Wave keyboard strikes a good ergonomic balance with a familiar keyboard design. The Wave is no ergonomic powerhouse, but it’s tough to find anything not to like about this friendly and affordable keyboard.
Oh, cool. That was my first thought when I unpacked my review sample Das Keyboard – and in a way, those two words sum up the best things about it. If you’re a keyboard geek, it’s hard to do better than glossy black finish, blue lights, and, best of all, mechanical keyswitches that feel just [...]
The orbiTouch from Blue Orb (formerly Keybowl) is one of the strangest-looking creations ever to be called an input device. Compared to a keyboard and mouse, it’s inefficient and relatively slow. But for the handicapped or those with severe RSI, it’s a lifesaver, enabling many of these folks to communicate when they otherwise could not. [...]
If you’re a born minimalist or just somebody with a small desk, you can’t do much better than the TypeMatrix. It’s one of the smallest keyboards you can buy, yet includes almost all of the commonly used keys and a strikingly usable numeric keypad. Plus – if you listen to TypeMatrix – it’s ergonomically beneficial [...]
Compared to the plain old keyboard that comes with most PC’s, the Microsoft Natural 4000 ergonomic keyboard is a big improvement. The price tag is under 35 bucks – but you get what you pay for.
Some input devices are so unconventional that they create and fill an entirely new class all their own. The AlphaGrip, also called the iGrip or just the Grip, is such a device. It combines the body of a game controller with the functions of both a trackball and a keyboard. Is it ergonomic? The manufacturer [...]
If you’re the kind of user that can’t quite settle on a keyboard position, read on – because you will never find a keyboard more configurable than the Kinesis Freestyle.
A radical departure from “normal” keyboard designs, the Kinesis Advantage is not generally the first stop on one’s ergonomic journey. That’s okay, because more moderate designs can work with great effect. If, however, other measures have failed, this may be a step you want to consider taking. Read on for my take after having used [...]
I'm Jason, a web professional and graphic designer from the Show-Me State. After much discomfort and a long journey through many ergonomic devices, I decided to start writing about all things ergonomic.
Naturally, my opinions are just that - my opinions. I have no particular training or expertise in the area of ergonomics. What works for me - or Sue or Horatio or five thousand happy reviewers on Amazon - won't necessarily work for you.
