Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000
I finally purchased the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, after some months of dawdling as I waited for it to go on sale (what can I say – I’m frugal). All in all, I like this keyboard a lot. Ergonomically, it’s quite excellent, and I recommend the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for anyone looking for a solid and attractive ergonomic keyboard.

Keyboards for Smaller Hands
This is a topic I’d never thought much about, but as Lilly PuTian says at Blogcritics.org, “If a keyboard is made, like many things, for the average man, then for the person who is smaller, much smaller than the average male, the keyboard is oversized.” Lilly is under five feet tall, weighs less than 100 [...]

Another Evoluent Vertical Mouse 2 Review
Jeremy Atkinson has a reviw of the Evoluent Vertical Mouse 2 (Is the VerticalMouse 2 Worth a Thumbs Up?) at ExtremeTech.com. We’d reported on an earlier review of the mouse, from LIVEdigitally.com nearly a year ago. So the mouse has been available for awhile, but is apparently still gaining attention.
DataHand Ergonomic Keyboard Reviewed
There’s a review of the DataHand Ergonomic Keyboard at atpm.com. Paul Fatula discusses this unusual input device and how it can be useful for RSI sufferers: One of the ways the Datahand helps to reduce RSI-related pain comes through requiring far less finger movement to type than do other keyboards. Each finger rests in a [...]
A Better Video Game Controller?
Let’s face it, typical video game controllers are not an RSI sufferer’s best friend. The button-mashing and thumbstick-twirling that are typical of many video games can bring on Repetitive Strain Injury all by themselves. Personally, I’ve largely had to give up on video game consoles. I can only play for a short period of time [...]
VoiceCode – Speech Recognition For Programmers
