Re: keyboard suggestions?

 I have found Kinesis keyboards with the Dvorak keymapping to be very 
good for me. The keyboards are ergonomically shaped and relieve wrist 
issues. They cost $200-$350, depending on features, but I find that a 
bargain to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome. 

The Dvorak keymapping puts the keys used most frequently in the most 
convenient location. It can be set up with any keyboard and it reduces 
fatigue considerably. 

A coworker uses two Datahand keypads and is very happy with them. Her 
fingers barely move to type letters. Each finger controls a key with 5 
degrees of freedom. This works well for her. The setup costs about $700 
though. The company bought it for her because of medical issues she had.
