The DataHand ergonomic keyboard

http://datahand.com/products/default.htm .

Reduces the range of finger motion. The finger tips move about 1/2" compared to the
conventional keyboards where the whole hand must move many inches. Wrist, arm, shoulder
and neck muscles become involved when working on a flat keyboard; on the DataHand
keyboard, only the fingers move.
¥ Reduces key activation forces. The fingers of DataHand operators use 20 grams of force
compared to 55 to 100 grams required on the flat keyboard. Research has shown forces below
48 grams reduce risks of musculoskeletal injury. Flat keyboard ÒbangersÓ often use forces 4 to
7 times higher than necessary.
¥ Provides optimal position and support for hands, wrists, and arms. The DataHand
design ensures correct pronation and relaxation of the hands, wrists, and arms.

@Brainbust100 the Pro II allows quick switching to Dvorak layout, and also allows custom remapping if that's what you would prefer.

I want to have a keyboard like that, but with a better aesthetic design. It's style reminds me of something from pre 2000. I understand the point is ergonomics, but they could have made it look better then 2 blocks with a place to rest your hands.

when i saw this i was like DAMN! This is awesome! I wonder why more people don't use such a layout.

Then i went to their website and got my answer. 995$ for the usb version.

JESUS CHRIST! carpal tunnel syndrome here i come!!!

Funny.. Such a "modern" and "ergonomic" keyboard still uses the QWERTY layout. Thousands of English words can be typed with only the left hand. Only a few hundred with the right. If you're typing in English, and using QWERTY, then not only will it slow you down, it will fatigue your left hand a hundred times more than your right hand.

I want a ergonomic keyboard version for gaming!

Gay, It's like having 2 phone books for a keyboard. Seems pointless

[MrJivePirate]

I want to try this.

Data Chair FTW!!!!!!!!!!

ever thought about... playing videogames with that? I mean, one of both hand modules would be enough, to give plenty of quick action compared to a regular keyboard or Razer Nostromo or Logitech G13, where you would move your finger away and towards a larger distance in total than just indicating any direction with the DataHand!?
