I think they're stupid... I mean, I honestly don't see how your hands can conform to that. Our fingers already get shorter as they move out (our pinky is shorter than our ring finger, which is shorter than our middle finger). It seems to me that the keyboard should slope the other way... On top of that, look at those horribly placed arrow keys... How in the heck do you get your middle finger down there to hit that down arrow??

Errr... I hate those types of keyboards. Sure, they are better for your wrists but to hell with that! I'm not willing to reach my hand over a mile to the other side to press a key and no... learning to rebind keys to be only on one side is too much of a headache for me.

agreed,

Buying those curved ones now will only encourage them to make new and worse types of keyboards..

I can allready imagine some of them, like a key-sphere...*shivers*

I would like to try a keyboard like that, but I can't imagine it would be very good for games.

It's not designed to fit the shape of your hand. It's designed taking into account the fact that your arms come from the SIDES of your body, not the front, so if you are to place your hands in front of your body they are naturally going to be tilted slightly outward.

My friend has one of those curvy keyboards. Of course he also uses a trackball. We think there might be something seriously wrong with him.
