Sarai, It would be wise to thoroughly try out the PK keyboard before purchasing the PK. In addition to getting use to the angled keys, you must get used to the left and right space bars. I saw the PK prototype in Birmingham Alabama a few weeks ago. My thumbs naturally rested on the metal casing between the left and right space bars. This slowed my typing speed. Instead, I would prefer the space bar directly beneath my thumbs. I will need to evaluate this keyboard usage issue, when demo PK units are available locally.
