Anyone use Kinesis contoured keyboard?
I'm on day 8 of slathering Ben-Gay all over my piddies and right shoulder for worsening pain that must be either tendonitis and/or bursitis. It's totally frigging up my line counts and will to live.
I've been wearing my SmartGloves and doing everything else "right" as far as stretching, taking breaks, and even getting up and doing "the hustle." ;-)
The only 2 things I can think of needing replacing here are my chair and my keyboard. I've been eyeballing that Kinesis contoured and it looks both sweet and scary at the same time. I checked a YouTube video of it and it makes that little clicky noise I love, which means the keys snap back and are quick...love that. I hate mushy keys.
So, does anyone here use this particular keyboard and if so, would you recommend it? I mean like HIGHLY recommend it?! Sure is a steep price tag, and I am tight with a dollar, so be honest. Thank you!
Oh--the link for the keyboard I'm fancyin' is:
http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/
It's the contoured one...fugly one farthest on the left.
Have you ever tried the Kinesis contoured keyboard, with the little "wells"? sm
They tout it as the "most productive and comfortable ergonomic keyboard available." There's no place to try one out, and at $299, I'm not sure I'm ready to part with the cash, even though they have a moneyback guarantee. Even on eBay, when I have seen them, they are pretty pricey, and that would be even more risky, since you can't usually return things on eBay.
Just wondering if you had any experience with it ........ thanks! 
Kinesis Contoured Ergonomic Keyboard
Has anyone used this keyboard? (It is the weird shaped one). How comfortable are the hard plastic wrist rests?
Is anyone brave enough to try the Kinesis Contoured keyboard? sm
www.kinesis.com My sister is looking at one - almost every review she has read - people love it! It sure is funny looking.
I have tried Kinesis Contoured, Kinesis Maxim and...sm
the the Comfort Programmable. Have spent megabucks trying to find "the keyboard" and am still looking. The Kinesis Maxim semed cheaply made to me and just did not feel right. The Comfort Programmable was very awkward for me to use...sat too high to be practical. I would have really liked the Kinesis Contoured had my thumbs not started hurting so much I had to quit using it and sell it only 3 months old for a steal. Currently I am using a Goldtouch that I have literally broken apart in the middle to space the 2 halves as far apart as possible so that it is fairly comfortable for me. I know it is a matter of personal taste and fit for each person, but so far I am....still looking!
