I just realized that it's my birthday, which means that I get money, which means that I can buy a new keyboard!
I'm thinking about these:
Frogpad (http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/6c82/)
EZ-Reach 2030 (http://http://typematrix.com/ezr2030/)
And I'm open to other ideas. I don't want one with a standard layout or the normal ergonomic layou; I want something better.
I can type at 55-65wpm in dvorak, and I'm worried that I won't be able to type as quickly with the frogpad.
If I can type that quickly with the frogpad, I'd rather get that. I don't care about things like gaming, and although I sometimes do use the dvorak_fr layout, it's not too important.
If you have any experience with keyboards like what I'm looking for, please give me some advice.
Thanks
EDIT: I just read this (http://frogpad.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=481), so I don't think I'll get the Frogpad.
Is there anything I should consider other than the Typematrix?
Some things I just found:
Kinesis Contoured Keyboards (http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/us_versions.htm)
Maltron Two-Handed Keyboard (http://www.maltron.com/maltron-kbd-dual.html)
Maltron Two-Handed Keyboard with Trackball (http://www.maltron.com/maltron-kbd-trackball.html)
