Typing on the ergonomic thing

(1/6) > >>

NewbieOneKenobi:
The batch of three Fjuitsu Siemens butterfly keyboards, $7 each, arrived today by courier. How people can type "ergonomically" on these split things is beyond me. After a while, I can learn to use only one space bar at a time, although I have that old tendency to hit space with both thumbs.

For me, "y" is a left-hand key most of the time. So is "h" much of the time (not always) but "n" is not ever. "B" is sometimes a right-hand key.

The enter is so behind that if I put my pinky on it, the other fingers won't reach past "u". Plus, wrist support, ergo split and all the crap are supposedto reduce RSI. So why do I feel all the joints in my palms crying to get a plain old non-ergo keyboard with no silly supports or anyhing? How are people supposed to feel better and type faster with these things?

And I could almost swear the soft feel under the fingers is far from helping.

Grrr.

I love the way these things are almost always accompanied with some text about them being the best ergonomic keyboards available - maybe Fujitsu wrote it on the back of the box.

didjamatic:
HHKB's and Realforce keyboards are also Fujitsu.  :)

No Siemens on mine, I'm glad to say.
