Title: Ergonomic Tenkeyless keyboard
Post by: afton on Fri, 09 December 2011, 19:07:15

Does such thing exist yet?

I'm ordering MS Curve 3000, and before I saw (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=215345) the
numpad, need to know if such thing exist yet? :)

Yes
truly ergonomic dot com - sorry I can't post links yet. I think they use Cherry MX Browns. They're just coming out, so I don't know how long before you can start ordering them.

Kinesis makes some: The Advantage (cherry), Maxim (domes), and Freestyle (domes)
Maltron makes one with Cherry switches, but it's ****ing expensive
Cherry Corp. makes one, the mx5000
Goldtouch is another adjustable board
IBM made the model M-15. Good luck finding one.

ouch...i just died a little inside looking at that picture.  I went through 3 iterations of that keyboard and one iteration of the previous gen before succumbing to the mechanical keyboard bug.

You can change any normal rubber dome into a Tenkeyless:

I've done it to three MS Natural Elites with varying success.
