Kinesis Keyboard: An expensive, wrist contorting mind game of plastic keys.
A plain, flat keyboard is just so boring. For someone such as myself whom spends most of their day typing away, a good keyboard can make all the difference between a good day and a bad day. Ergonomic keyboards have been around for years claiming to reduce stress, tiredness, and injuries from those living in front of a computer screen. But do they really? At least in my experience with certain ergonomic keyboards, after the initial break-in period of getting used to a goofy shaped contraption, all is well. Though I’m not so sure how well the Kinesis Keyboard above would fair.
From the heavily scalloped letter keys to placement of the remaining keys located oddly split and staggered in the middle of the board, I’m left scratching my head as to what it feels like. Besides helping aching hands, this keyboard may also cure cancer, have a solution for world hunger, and know the origins of the universe. Well, the $300 price tag would lead us to suspect so at least…
I guess that mystery of “what it feels like” will forever remain a question as I simply can’t find myself spending $300 on a radical keyboard design, much less one that looks as if it were made out of 1980′s plastic even if world hunger could be solved. Sorry kiddies, no dinner for you tonight…
Feeling daring?
