am i the only one who uses one? why are they so rare - whats WRONG with them? whenever i look around, its always the traditional straight-line ones, and theres only 2 ergonomics (usually by microsoft) for every 30 'originals' brands at stores it seems so what am i missing... why do users and companies shun them? frankly i find it awkward and uncomfortable to type on straight-line original keyboards now...

I have Logitech wave, if that counts as ergonomic Very Happy

I also find it kinda harder to type on 'normal' keyboard. Love the palm rest and, I dk, this just feels great when I'm typing stuff...

I all depends on what you're used to...

so why dont i see more of them? i would at least expect a 50/50 share out there, but it seems like no one wants them. and when i look at logitech and such, its nothing but traditional keyboards and ONE wave far as i can see there must be some reason that they just havent taken off?

I used to have one which I had painted in camo with the words "born to kill" on...professionally done...but then I got angry at my ex and smashed it in the wall right next to her shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Because they require an adjusting period of 2 days. Too long. Laughing
