DataHand Ergonomic Keyboard
One cause of carpal tunnel injury is the travel distance required to reach the keys, not in the home row. DataHand reduces travel distance by 90%. Your hands are always in the home row, even when using the mouse. Each key requires about a half inch of finger movement from the home position, and because…

Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard
The Goldtouch keyboard has been around for quite a long time, but the owners have bounced around a bit over the years. Nonetheless this is still the “gold” standard in ergonomic computer keyboards.

Rolling, Folding, Self-compacting Keyboards, Ugh.
Eleksen’s fabric keyboard is just one in a chain of keyboards I’ve seen that are meant to be rolled, folded, or otherwise mashed into a small space for travel purposes. Now, I love technology, and I love seeing cool new innovations, but having typed on one of these, all I can say is ugh. At…
