ErgoBoard Pro Keyboard with USB Ports
Belkin, known for its quality electronics and networking solutions, has developed a very strange looking split-key keyboard that promises to eliminate wrist strain, by positioning your arms in the most natural posture for working on your computer. Try it -- put your arms down on any flat surface and your hands position themselves at slight inward angles toward each other for increased comfort.
At first, I was afraid that there would be a steep learning curve but I'm finding it very intuitive . I like the integrated, contoured wrist rest and the tactile feel and response of the keys. With QuietType technology and durable, rubber membrane, it's not only quiet but the keystroke response is superior to my old keyboard.
It also features 2 built-in downstream USB ports (100mA) and I can use all the ports I can get, with all the electronics charging on my desk , including a pair of MP3 sunglasses from Oakley.
It's the best $39.99 you'll ever spend.

if Belkin would only donate one of these... that would make a sweet prize for a newsletter drawing.

Ughh.. I have this keyboard and it's awful. Some of the keys are only responsive if you hit them just right. It's a total waste. Mine sits unused in a closet even now.
I replaced it with a Microsoft comfort curve 2000 and haven't looked back.

Siliconavator is absolutely right. I have gone through 3 of them, and they all have stiff key issues. Very disappointing.
