I've used many other keyboards - plain flat ones, low-end ergonomic ones and high-end ergonomic ones like the Kinesis. Anything that requires pronation of my wrists will give me problems. However, that's the nature of my injury; YMMV. > Just looking at it, it certainly looks strange with the vertical > layout, but I could certainly see where it could be comfortable.

I'm an emacs guy, so I rarely use the arrow keys anyway, but when I have to use them, it's a PITA. However, that was easily solved for me by buying a USB number pad; it works fine with X, and it even works fine in Windows XP running inside VMWare. If you're very used to hitting your arrow keys and home/end etc., you will find the Safetype not very usable without an external keypad. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA dave@rudedog.org | http://www.rudedog.org/ | ICQ:161669680 UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL
