Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a good keyboard solution for the past six months to alleviate the pain that comes with severe CTS. I've been using an inexpensive Belkin Ergo Board until yesterday when it broke. Now I have around at most $90 to spend on a new keyboard.

I was thinking about buying a keyboard with scissor-type technology (the type of keyboards laptops have), but I haven't been able to find any scissor-type keyboard with a ergonomic shape. (Split or skewed keys.)

Right now I'm thinking about finding a desktop keyboard with a built-in trackpad or eraserhead as to relieve me of using a mouse most of the time. Does anyone know if there are any out there? I spent some time browsing Newegg and other online stores but found nothing so far.

Thanks so much everyone!
Regards,
Venio

And http://www.A4Tech.com has a keyboard with quasi ergo key pattern. Keypad is on the left to keep mouse closer to right side of keyboard so you don't have to move your hand so far (KBS-2550ZRP or -2880RP). I use Logitech trackballs with mine that are quite easy on the arms/wrists.
