which one?

edit: and in my opinion, no keyboard is worth $300.

Prolly not worth it IMO.

I've got a Logitech wireless with MX700 wireless that I paid $100 cdn for about a year ago now. That's about as expensive as I'd go for any kind of keyboard/mouse combo unless it did some VERY special things

No way. What if you use another computer that actually had some kind of brain matter and didn't install these ridicously expensive keyboards? Then you'd be going back to standard QWERTY.

some expensive patents.

Too pricey for my blood.

Anyone actually used this for any period of time? What did you think?

You, my friend, have never used an Omnikey!

whats the omnikey? i suffer from RSI, so if this or kinesis helps reduce stress, i wouldn't think
twice about buying it.

They were awesome old keyboards. I hoard them. They had metal bottoms and ALPS mechanical keyswitches. I dunno how helpful they are for RSI, but they are a pleasure to type with, and having started using them, I cannot go back.

too expensive for me to justify

i had one for a few years i bought for $10 (delete key was broken, just needed to spend 5 seconds resoldering). it's a great keyboard, but ~$300 is a too much. it takes about a week to get used to it, but it's super comfortable. if you can buy it from somewhere that has a lenient return policy, give it a shot

Holy crap, some of those Evolution models are over $600!

Placebo effect. They're laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[Platypus]

Used it, it's interesting, but I don't think I would want one.

Maybe I should sell mine...I bought it for $80. Sell Evo for $500, buy 101 for $100, pocket $400....
