Vertical Keyboard vs Carpal Tunnel

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ongoing-ergonomic-adventure dept.

An anonymous reader sent us links to a quite strange vertical keyboard which also links to a study that claims that this is more ergonomic than your usual board. Of course at $347 it also better make me coffee.

    This revolutionary keyboard is the only one that can place the user in a completely orthopedically neutral position while doing data entry and cannot be adjusted improperly by the user.

    The result? The SafetypeTM is the only keyboard proven in a Major University Study to virtually eliminate the high-stress postures that contribute to Repetitive Stress Injuries, such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

    In fact, it makes so much sense that once you see our section on "How it works", you will probably understand more about keyboard ergonomics than most keyboard designers! Take a look right now, and you will see why NASA and the Technology Utilization Foundation chose this design as a promising future technology.

    Note: The Safetype(TM) keyboard is not offered as a cure for any medical condition.

    Forget the coffee - at $347, the damn thing better have a blowjob attachment.
