I'm all ergonomic now!

After two years of desire, I have finally bought a kinesis ergo keyboard! The Contoured Essential is the cheapest in the contour range, but any mapping that i need to do i can do in software (the more advanced models have macros and re-mapping facilities).

Take a squiz at the excellent Kinesis ergo range here: kinesis-ergo.com.

A word of warning to anyone having one delivered to Australia - the import duty came to about $AUS100, as did the shipping...

After re-capping some basics in an on-line typing tutor (typingmaster.com), my tyoing is already at 26 wpm (30 wpm gross). My accuracy was only 85% (which the typing tutor called Intermediate) was mainly because my brain keeps forgetting which thumb has the space and whivh has the delete, combined with the fact that the program locked off a word once you typed a space.

My rythm, though, was only 43% which the program called Beginner - sheesh!
