The Adjustable Ergonomic Keyboard Allows You to Adjust The Two Alphanumeric Sect

This was a great keyboard that lasted many many years. Was well made and the split made it easy to type without creating hand issues.

I first used this keyboard at a "ergo conscious" company I used to work at and really got used to it, It only took a day or so.I sit in front of the computer/keyboard all day and with a regular keyboard (i.e flat) I get pain in my forearms after a few hours.Using this keyboard I do not get pain in my hands or arms.I fold it (half and tilted 'up') as far as it will go (I wish it could actually fold almost in half). (A good way to rest your arm is to let your hand rest loosely on it's 'side', this keyboard helps keep your hands in that sort of position as you type, thereby reducing pain and stress, I believe, although I am not a medical professional ;)After reading some of these reviews about sticking keys and a decline in quality, I was nervous about purchasing this given the [...]But since I know the benefit and I do need something to help 'arm fatigue', I took the chance and bought it, I'm glad I did, it works as expected and I have not any seen quality issues, I have owned it about a month.I like the keys 'action', there is very little resistance and they spring right back after being depressed and they are very 'well defined'.I'd say the only two things I don't really like, is that the Esc button follows the logo on the top left of the keyboard, (I am a vim user and am used to it being further to the left so I miss the key a lot) luckily there is no other key their that I am hitting instead.The other criticism isn't really a fair one, I just got a Mac Book Pro through work and am using this keyboard with that. The 'windows' key, (what the Mac sees as the Apple/cmd key) is all the way to the bottom left, so cutting/pasting, is a real chore as it's a far stretch, I guess I could do a keyboard mapping to change this, I also know the Goldtouch does make a Mac version of this keyboard. [...]Other little issues that caused me concern were (trivial?) branding/company discrepancies like they keyboard states keyovation.com but is branded [...] resolves to goldtouch.com now so maybe it was just a branding/merger change, but there are some broken links coming from keyovation.com?whatever/something/ to goldtouch.com?whatever/something/, sorry, I don't remember specific examples, sometimes this can be a bad sign of product neglect.Conclusion:Either way, I order it and am happy I did, it works as desired/expected.[...]

I have used the black Goldtouch keyboard for about a year. It is an awesome keyboard, and I have saved my wrists because of it. However, it recently broke during my conference deadline (as a computer scientist, a keyboard is one's life!). I emailed their support, and they do not have an option to repair or replace a faulty keyboard (even if I would pay for the fix). Sadly, I have bought a second Goldtouch, but I really really wish they would have made my $120 purchase worth it. It's nice that it's a little cheaper now, but if it breaks after another year... pooh on them.Keyboards should NOT break. I have old IBM beige-colored keyboards that still work.

Though the picture shows a version 1 keyboard, I received a Goldtouch Version 2, which is very different.First, the keytops are a wee bit smaller, and markedly more curved. A single key is now ~1.1cm wide (old was 1.25cm).Second, the rubber dome keyswitches have been changed: they are significantly shorter in travel. The upside is that the keyboard is quieter; while the version one is no clickmonster, it made more noise than most keyboards these days. Version 2 is in line with the quietness of most rubber dome keyboards.The key layout is also a bit different:- escape is now snuggled next to the F1, rather than having a bit of separation- insert & delete are now 1.5 keys wide and in a separate area, away from F12- the Caps Lock, right control, and right shift keys are now 1.5 step wide keys, with the extra half-key at a lower plane than the main keytop- there is a command key in between each ctrl-alt pair- the rightmost column is now home, page up, page down, end (old was home, end, page up, page down)- the very lower left keys are now context menu and Fn (old was command, context menu); the function key is because the F keys now have Fn equivalents, à la a MacBook Pro's keyboard

I bought two GoldTouch keyboards in 1999 and have used them off and on since then. I hated the placement of the INS, HOME, END, PGUP and PGDN keys (on the left side), so they mostly collect dust.in December of 2014 I looked into GoldTouch again and was happy to see that recent models put the navigation keys back on the RIGHT-HAND side of the keyboard. So I bought one. It was delivered quickly and I was for the most part happy with the purchase. After 3 months of moderate use, though, the SHIFT keys began to stick, especially the one on the LEFT side.When I contacted GoldTouch customer support they told me that the model that I'd purchased was discontinued in 2011. So ErgoWarehouse, the Amazon seller, is selling New Old Stock (NOS). Shame on them.GoldTouch customer support suggested that I remove the key and clean it. When I removed the LEFT SHIFT key I found that by design it is only supported by a center post/hole that is less than 25% of the key's width. The "stickiness" is caused by the key rocking left-to-right and catching on the adjacent ("Z") key.While waiting for a response from GoldTouch to help me troubleshoot this problem I switched back to my Kinesis Freestyle2 keyboard. While I have some gripes about the Kinesis keyboard, I realized that the amount of pressure required to type is far less than what I was using on the GoldTouch.Because I seek to remove the danger of RSI, I'm sticking with the Kinesis. I'll probably scavenge the ball-joint-lock from the GoldTouch (which is a brilliant design), but relegate the carcass to the pile of other unused keyboards in my closet.
