I have really bad repetitive stress problems, so I have been looking at

it's very expensive. Anyone used it?

After watching various reviews, it suddenly occurred to me that I
already have a keyboard without a number pad and one with a number pad.
I connected both and used my left hand with one and my right hand with
the one with the keypad. A little weird but I can now touch type
comfortably now with my hands spread far apart.
I posted this with the hope that someone else might find this trick as
much of a lifesaver as I did. I can finally touch type again.
I'm really not sure that I want to spend $400 on a keyboard that I can't
take for a test drive first.
Before you spend any money, take a look at Colemak layout. It helps a
lot with repetitive strain injury. You can change layout on all your
keyboards for free, by moving key caps physically on the keyboard. This
layout is great for long typing hours.
