The person who designs this vertical keyboard, I think he must take off his pants whenever he farts. Otherwise, he wouldn't desgin something like this "unnecessary"!

it actually seems to make a lot of sense, if you watch the video. i think i'll stick with my regular keyboard, but nonetheless, it is pretty cool...

Remember the keyboard used by Eliot Carver (the news mogul) in Tomorrow Never Dies? I'd like one of those. Is the vertical keyboard like that? The site's down...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I just tried that and think it's impossible. LOL

Ditto that. I might switch to a DVORAK layout to see if it's any better, or I might do some more searching for a good keyboard.
With a normal QWERTY keyboard I can get 90+ WPM, usually 85-92 adjusted for error.

Can this be possible? The site is down for over 24 hours now! Is that just bad technical support or they just don't care?

Question ? if it's so hard to keep your hands in the horizontal postion why dont they redesign the mouse too ?
I'm not sure who made it (maybe Logitech?) but someone made a "mouse" that looked kind of like a joystick handle that stood up on the desk and had a couple of buttons built in. The ball was in the bottom and you would move it around like you were carving something into the desk. Too bad I can't find any pics of it

Looks like it might be tough to surf "one handed" when I read the articles @ Pl@yboy...

I cannot wait until someone just comes out with some voice recognition software that actually WORKS so I can throw my keyboard away.

wow... using the logic presented in that video, we should completely stop playing musical instruments or sports of any kind. Man, I'd hate to deviate my ulnar! *On a side note*Is it me, or did that girl appear as if she had never typed a day in her life? Very entertaining!

I was just looking at this a few days ago. I think it would actually help my carpal tunnel syndrome a lot more than this MS natural keyboard, but I just don't have that kind of money. I'd probably be able to spend up to $100 on something like that.

Oh, and if you sit in a chair that has armrests, you probably don't have to hold your arms up all the time.

How bizarre! I'd think it would get tiresome to hold up your hands like that though w/out anything to rest them on. Too $$$ for my wallet too.
