Yum (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/smartfish-ergomotion-keyboard-fingers-on/). Too bad this thing looks like a scissor switch 'board. Otherwise, it's hawt.

Yeah, I saw that, too. It looks like it would be an abomination just like the laser keyboard of yesteryear, especially since it works pretty much the same way.

Exactly why is it a bad habit to surf while watching movies? My kids love to have me in the living room surfing with a tablet, instead of being sequestered away in the home office.

Wow. It took us only one reply to derail the whole thread. That's gotta be some kind of record. Good work, guys.

Someone had to invent that Smartfish Ergomotion.
That person had to want it to exist, and think it was worthwhile.
Then that person had to convince others to build and manufacture it, because people would buy it.
They'd buy it because they'd want to use it.

BWUH? This whole string of events is just too implausible to be true. So it must be.

This prevents RSI like a Segway prevents obesity.

At least it's more adjustable than most products out there. I'm just a little disappointed that it looks like they used scissor swithces on this. I'm no suprised, just disappointed.
