Shape-Shifting Keyboards - Super-Ergonomic Peripheral Adjusts to Your Typing Style
Super-Ergonomic Peripheral Adjusts to Your Typing Style

Talk about a smart keyboard: This one slowly adapts and adjusts to your typing style through what they call a “Dynamic Positioning Controller.”

Why would anyone need this? Well, while you’re reading this you’re at your keyboard. Feel comfortable? Maybe not. Maybe you’re growing a carpal tunnel syndrome or a repetitive stress injury. It is a known fact that staying at the same position with your hands is not good.

Many programmers and typists overcome the stress on the hands/wrists by having multiple keyboards they interchange periodically. This keyboard basically morphs into different shapes for better blood circulation and diminishing wrist pain. Think it’s all blah-blah? This keyboard was jointly collaborated with the Hospital for Special Surgery. Perhaps that’s why its price tag is around $150 bucks. Ouch, that hurt!

Since the fingers are moving and the wrists remain stationary there is no pumping of blood out of the hands. This causes the temperature to drop, and a build-up of blood occurs at the carpal tunnel. (smartfishtechnologies)
