Interesting. So if I understand this correctly, the slower you type, the more it'll try to move since it senses "fatigue" so need to readjust the position.

Not everyone "loves" their keyboards the same way you do, Ripster...

Anyway. I don't like the keyboards that curve away from your hands. I mistype on them a lot. Would it not make more sense to have them curve towards you?

I just love how some companies dare to do something so radical (in this case pointless), but are too afraid to change the age-old staggered typewriter layout.

Look again. The staggering is weird on this keyboard.
The staggering on a standard keyboard is, from the top row downwards: 1/2 - 1/4 - 1/2

On the left side, the staggering on this keyboard is 1/2 - 1/3 - 2/5.
On the right side, the staggering is 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/2.

Huh?

A pity they don't use a mechanical switch. The idea is not bad.

I agree! Not changing the staggering of the keys is evidence to the fact that they don't really understand ergonomics! And the curve away from the hands is silly too.
