EDIT: no results on shopping sites, no results on Amazon … until someone told me to search for “keyboard 5000” or “keyboard 6000” – and suddenly appears this thing of awesome beauty: small, light, and Bluetooth!<\/p>\n
I can’t find them. All I can find is a MONSTROUS thing from Microsoft that weighs a tonne. Nothing from the other manufacturers (!). And the MS one sadly is no use with a laptop :(.<\/p>\n
A standard keyboard is very bad for your wrists. At the small end of the scale: discomfort, cramp, and bad posture. At the nasty end: RSI, long-term back\/neck damage, tendonitis, etc.<\/p>\n
So why is it that you can no longer buy the so called “natural” keyboards? They’re split down the centre, and\/or curved, so that your wrists are at a normal angle that reduces strain and improves posture.<\/p>\n
In Brighton, the shops I tried (from major high-street chains down to specialist independent computer shops) that sell 5-10 different keyboards each … claimed they had never even heard of \/ seen such a thing, and several salespeople suggested they’re a figment of my imagination! Yikes.<\/p>\n
I’ve still got a couple of these keyboards, but I always bought PS2 ones, sometimes buying 2nd hand (when Microsoft stopped manufacturing them) so that I’d have an extra USB socket free.<\/p>\n
Now I’ve got laptops with USB slots, but no PS2 … argh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
