Vertical Typing Can Prevent Repetitive Injuries

By , About.com GuideFebruary 27, 2006

Follow me on:

I'm content with my current keyboard but I'm always on the lookout for something new - from keyboards with every imaginable multimedia function and flashing lights to thin plastic keyboards that fold up. But I just ran across a keyboard that is nothing like those I see in the store and I just have to share it with you: The SafeType Ergonomic Keyboard may be a bit too radical for me but if repetitive motion injuries are a problem for you, it's proven to greatly reduce those types of injuries. Computer Peripherals Guide Shane McGlaun says it takes some getting used to and I have no doubt it does -- the ends of the keyboard stand up on end so you turn your hands vertical, palms facing, to type. Need to see the keys? This keyboard has "rear-view mirrors" on each side so you can see what you're typing.
