5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect way to save tendons if you have big hands, August 8, 2008

This review is from: Adesso PCK-308UW Tru-Form Pro Contoured Ergonomic Keyboard - USB - 105 Keys (Personal Computers)

I own two of these keyboards: one for the office and one for the home office. The biggest problem I had in terms of repetitive strain was using a mouse and/or using arrow keys. This solves the mouse problem which was worse. Not having to move your right arm will save you a lot of strain.

I've used this keyboard on Mac, Linux, and Windows. Works perfectly on all platforms. At this point I would not switch back.

The reason for requiring big hands, is that I've found all the split ergo keyboards really require the use of larger hands. They start to create new and different problems if they make you take an odd posture with your arms.

This review is from: Adesso PCK-308UW Tru-Form Pro Contoured Ergonomic Keyboard - USB - 105 Keys (Personal Computers)

I read a lot of Adesso reviews in my search for a touchpad keyboard to help with shoulder problem. Earlier, I had switched to a trackball which was a help, although not a complete solution.

Most of the reviews were of other models with other connector types (PS2 etc.). This is a plug and play USB keyboard, and, apparently a rather new model.

It is indeed plug and play. Only install problem I had was that it had to be plugged in computer, not a hub, to work. Once that was done, all was well.
Has a different feel than my old MS keyboard, but, not bad. Maybe a longer key travel. My trackball still works with it and I may use both for a while.

So far, looks good if you want to ease muscle stress.

I use this keyboard at work on my Windows PC. I bought one for home to use on my Mac. I like the way this keyboard feels compared to the Micro$oft natural keyboard; the keys are easier to press and quieter. I knocked off a star because the special keys don't map well to a Mac.
