Title: SmartFish Technologies' Engage Keyboard -- a powered keyboard morphs over time
Post by: cbf123 on Wed, 12 January 2011, 09:46:32

Looks like a repeat from last year's CES, but I haven't seen any mention of it before:

It's an ergonomic keyboard (similar to the MS ergo ones) but it adjusts the split width and typing angle to vary the motions that your fingers need to do.  Interesting concept, but I think it'd be weird getting used to it.  And it's got the tenkeypad, which I'd prefer to not be in the way.

There's a bunch of threads, but I don't think any of them have "Smartfish" in the title.  That said, I really like the design, but it's apparent use of scissor switches unfortunately means it won't end up on my desk any time soon.
