The Code springs to mind.
That's one I was thinking, but it's hard to find one in stock.
Nah time to quit.
If jobs grew on trees and the benefits weren't so good...
Ask them to get a Topre. They may think it's just a rubber dome keyboard and would not suspect and thing!
Not a huge fan of Topre.
The USB plug may be the hangup.
If you can live with straight PS/2 gear, the IT department should be willing to grant an exception.
Really kind of silly, you could carry a tiny USB stick in your sock and plug it in for 2 minutes when the boss was in the rest room, and do all the damage you needed to.
I was thinking the same with PS/2. I might just have to talk to the IT department and see if it would be acceptable if I had a nice PS/2 keyboard instead.
And, from what I understand, they're incredibly insane when it comes to what they can see with computers. I've heard stories of IT calling people at their desks because they plugged something in. The new department we're under basically said no USB devices at all, not even plugging your phone or PMP in to charge.
To me, if they're that concerned about security, why are we even using our own physical machines and no a remote desktop or other virtual machine?
First step check the list of approved devices.
Second. Walk over to HR and explain the situation to them. Explain too that you bring the keyboard because you don't want to dump the high price on the company. At most companies HR will freak when they hear that someone at the company is trying to deny you ergonomic equipment.
There's no list of approved devices yet that I've seen. And I've talked to the head of IT face to face and explained it to him and he said that they would look into getting me a keyboard and mouse, especially since I dropped the ergonomic buzzword. So I don't think HR will go for letting me keep the keyboard and mouse, but will have to go looking for something for me. I'm just sad because now I can't dial in the keyboard setup that's the most comfortable for me.
