Okay, I shouldn't have said that "... Making these unsupported claims, is it a trend among manufacturers in modern China? ..."
Sorry if it hurts your bigger collective national ego.
I hope there are still a few makers in China who are really aiming at perfecting their design, but not aiming primarily at making money with half-assed junks, creating more pollution and making child labor problem even more serious in China.
The 'citation' davkol asked for and the missing supports that my term "unsupported claims" refers to are real scientific studies. Real good scientific studies have sound rationales, multiple versions of research design, and then eventually collecting data from subjects for statistical or some other analyses in order to support or reject a claim. It is not just like "... what we can see can feel in everyone ...", "... the citation ... what I mentioned above ..."
Physician is a respectable occupation, and there are tons of doctors in the world, in Europe and in the American countries, in Asia. But their job is different from being experts in ergonomics.
What I studied doesn't matter at all, I would say I know almost nothing compared to what can be discovered.
What I meant by saying that above is instead, please really try to be more professional, if you want to sound like so.
Please see it as an effort to help professional-wannabe Chinese to become more up to standard.
The shape of the lower anatomy of human hands is one thing, whether "spreading of the keys in the upper rows" according to the metacarpal angle in a keyboard is "the most important part as a ergonomics keyboard" is a doubtful statement is another question. And actually whether such a design will enhance usability is already something needs to be answered in the first place.
There are two links to see how to make more professional claims in ergonomics about a design.

Hello menuhin
Here is a misunderstanding,What I mean by "the most important part as a ergonomics keyboard" is that, improving that typing area(Characters) is the most important part as a ergonomic keyboard in general. I am not saying that this
keyboard, or its typing area is the most important part as a ergonomics keyboard. If you take a look at
my context.
We hope you can understand that,We are here to asked for advice and keep improving our products, not to promo or anything, if we do, won't be here and
have all these discussion.
We have never claim anything too big, right? We just try to do our best in this keyboard, just in the
range of what we can control, we do our best, never claim it s the best. A lot to improve for this
keyboard, and we are looking forward to hear more of you guys opinions. Our keyboard designed to be a
easy adapt ergonomics keyboard with its nature radial shape of layout for general users, layout like
this might not be the favorite for programmer, ergodox might be better choice consider of programmer.
But what we trying to provide to is for general users, especially typing beginner. That's why we still
have the original functions key in the same position, not dramatic change for typing area.
And I agree that our change compare to other ergonomics keyboards today(like ergodox and keyboardio) is
just a marginal change on the layout(radial metacarpal shape), even just a little bit, it s still an
improvement, it is a little bit better, right? Beside, we are the first company to provide this marginal
change. Other ergonomics keyboard have angle between left and right typing area, but never see a
keyboard bring up radial metacarpal based shape.Small change is still a change, a little bit better is
still better, right?
Thank you for your link, we will look at it. Is that a professor paper? Any practical product base on this? We would love to see.
