Jan 11 2010I Swear It Just Moved!: Motorized Keyboard Designed To Reduce Hand/Wrist Stress
This USB keyboard from Smartfish isn't your grandmother's keyboard. No, your grandmother's keyboard is a typewriter. Smartfish's keyboard is motorized and moves every once in awhile to relieve the repetitive stress of spamming on Geekologie.
The two halves move apart and together and the base sort of vibrates subtly around once or twice an hour to massage your wrist muscles; the frequency depends on hard you pound the keyboard.
The keyboard will be available early this year for $150 and is on my pass list, right beneath "the dutchie". Seriously brah, stop bogarting that shit.

Either that or someone's stolen his identity and livelihood.

GW! I want less keyboard and more scaly pew pew explosive things. Not a crap sex toy disguised as keyboard. Looks painful

Think this helps with people who chronically masturbate? You know, they just throw there dingles on that thing once or twice an hour and then it relieves wrist pain?

Seems unnecessary... ifyour wrists hurt, here's a tip - stop typing. Take a damn break!

If it really wanted to reduce strain, the keypad would be on the left hand side or removed all together. Just sayin'.

Invest stock in carpel tunnel research. That's where this generation is headed. Between working on a computer all day, and Dragon Age and Modern Warfare 2 at night, I'm surprised I don't have it already.

I like my keyboard. I've just got good at it.

I really don't know how I feel about this. I guess it's o.k., but I was kind of hoping it had lazers or something......just saying.

hey that's really cool, but I'm really surprised with the price of them cause usually new things always start off so expensive. That mouse would be great fro flight sims (not that I play any).
