(Network World Fusion, February 17, 2003 original full article)"New Ergonomic Keyboard" TypeMatrix last week announced a new keyboard that
aims to reduce the motions associated with repetitive strain
injuries. The $100 keyboard has been in development for three years
to address the need for a mainstram keyboard with ergonomics and
superior comfort, the company says. TypeMatrix (www.typematrix.com)
says the keyboard reduces finger, wrist and arm movements through three features -
vertical columns of keys, an embedded number pad and the repositioning
of some keys. TypeMatrix says these changes help prevent and alleviate
injuries, and can increase typing speed and accuracy. The keyboard
also has larger Enter, Backspace and Tab keys paced in the center of
the keyboard, which lets a person use a stronger index finger for these
keys. In addition, the keyboard promotes a neutral mouse placement, by letting
the mouse sit 2 inches from a user's right hand, the company says. by Keith Shaw, Network World, 02/17/03
