(Extinct web pages about) extinct ergo keyboards
hoggy:
Does anyone have any photos, thoughts or links on any ergonomic keyboards that just aren't available anymore?
There was a boom of development around 1990, sadly, soon followed by a bust.
The typing injury faq showcases a wide range of design - (some of it still available).

Here's a pdf version that was 'snapped' in 2002 here

* 【NEC】 Keyboard based on new input system (M system)
Thanks for the link to tifaq! I have been looking for info on a keyboard with no info whatsoever except on tifaq.. It did not show up in Google Image Search before, (but it does now apparently).
Edit: It is called the DataStealth, and all info about it had been on the web: protomic.com, which is down, and archive.org is also down... argh.. Apparently, it has been a research project at Dutch universities, and I am trying to find Dutch papers about it.

There’s this paper about a Tron project keyboard, http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-4-431-68069-7_12
Google finds a copy of the PDF from Jesse’s (Obra’s) site: http://fsck.com/~jesse/tmp/2013-02-13/0d7dba94-ed53-456b-be5c-24aec53b088a/tron.pdf

Echoing Findecanor, thank you for the link. I find these kind of collections fascinating, and spend far too much time reading them! :)

I notice the website is very old. Some parts were updated over 14 years ago.
