An enterprising chiropractor has found a way to make typing even easier on your wrists. Smartfish Technologies is building the brainchild of Jack Atzmon who dreamed up this better mousetrap. His keyboard includes motors that subtley shift the keyboard's angle throughout the day effectively eliminating the risk of RSIs, carpal tunnel syndrome specifically, associated with keyboarding... They hope. Clinical trial results still aren't in but it's hard to dispute the theory. Although separated keyboards like the FreeStyle Solo for example have yet to truly catch on hopes to break through that barrier with its claim of "Eliminating" CTS. The Smartfish Pro:Motion keyboard (warning: PDF) notably has smarts built in to track your typing speed and self adjust while you are typing. The keyboard rotates through its 7 stations of differing angle and separation evenly according to your habits. While probably eerie at first users have been surprised how quickly they stop noticing the changes. With more and more people dealing with the problems of CTS and computer based jobs still on the rise expect to see more and more of these. Get yours today for around $130.
