Hello I like the A-Shape design even if I’m a old fan of the Natural Keyboards…

Recently I found a much better Natural Keyboard > the Data Desk Smart Board with aligned columns of keys (Smart Board II incoming)

I will never type again in qwerty on a classic keyboard with staggered keys

When I tried this, it didn’t help any. However, I’m a huge fan of the old Microsoft Natural keyboards (the older ones had bigger, stronger keys). Not sure what it does for my body…but it sure makes typing easier.

Probably just snake oil.

When my old Microsoft Natural Keyboard started dying on me, I asked our admin for a new “anti-RSI” keyboard. She had one ordered for me – a Logitech wireless “natural” keyboard (with a bonus wireless mouse). However, the curve of that keyboard, which is much more defined than what you show here, was not enough for me to use comfortably, and I immediately returned the set, and took a “defective” new Microsoft keyboard, which suits me just fine. It’s “defective”, because it has two keys marked “X” and no “C” – I learned to use it that way.
