The roll-up keyboard
These keyboards feature 104 keys in a standard QWERTY layout, but with a nifty twist of being the most portable keyboard seen to date. Simply roll the unit up when you’re done with it! A great tool for laptop users who miss their full-sized KB when on the road, or LAN party warriors looking to lighten their load.
The virtual laser keyboard
The I-Tech Virtual Keyboard uses a light projection of a full-sized computer keyboard on almost any surface. Used with PDA’s and Smart Phones, the Virtual Keyboard provides a practical way to do e-mail, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, enabling users to leave laptops and computers at home.
The wrist keyboard
Completely sealed, it can operate in the rain and other harsh environments. A curved back provides a secure and comfortable placement on the wrist. The keyboard layout is optimized to provide alphanumeric entry. Carefully positioned arrow keys ease menu-oriented tasks. The WristPC keyboard comes with an optional wrist strap to provide the capability of attaching it to your wrist.
The frogpad
The FrogPad mobile keypad with its innovative 20 full-size key layout optimized around the most frequently used characters sets a new standard in information access with superior portability and ergonomics, global adaptability, rapid learning and ease of use. Its unique patented keystroke algorithms enable it to be used in either a right or left-handed mode and with any international language set.
Maltron 3D Ergonomic Keyboard
These fully ergonomic two handed keyboards fit the shape of hands and the different lengths of fingers to reduce movement and tension.
The Orbitouch Keyboard
The orbiTouch Keyless ergonomic Keyboard creates a keystroke when you slide the two domes into one of their eight respective positions. You type the different characters by sliding the domes to create letters and numbers. The orbiTouch Keyless ergonomic Keyboard also has an integrated mouse, so moving the domes gives you full mouse and keyboard capability!
The Tidy Tippist
The marriage of eating and tipping: the decorative tablecloth, made of felt, contains a textile keyboard. The electronic is woven into a fabric, which finds itself between layers of water resistant felt as sandwich material. The soft felt surface makes it a pleasure for fingers to tip a cozy keyboard.
The SafeType keyboard
This well thought at keyboard will allow you to type in a relaxed position, saving you the pain. All that despite its futurist look. The supplementary keypad allows the user to position the 10-key numeric pad with arrow keys anywhere that is most usable and comfortable. It can be on the left or the right, or even in your lap. We are constantly amazed by the tremendous variation in challenges and how people find solutions for their own problems.
The Twiddler 2
The Twiddler2 is a pocket-sized mouse pointer plus a full-function keyboard in a single unit that fits neatly in either right or left hand. The Twiddler2 plugs into both keyboard and mouse PS/2 ports (USB port with the PS/2 to USB Adapter) on any computer that accepts standard PS/2 mouse and keyboard (or USB input). Combining major innovations in pointer and keyboard technology, the twiddler is designed to bring renewed enjoyment to current computer users and to attract newcomers to the world of personal computing.
The datahand keyboard
The DataHand ergonomic keyboard offers a total of 132 keys (more than even extended flat keyboards) through the use of five key switches clustered around the tips of each of the fingers. With four modes, shifted by the thumbs, hand movement is no longer required to perform keyboard work. Hand support results in the elimination of the major source of muscular-skeletal stress in hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, backs, and necks.
Optimus Keyboard
Each and every key on the Optimus Keyboard is a stand-alone display that shows you exactly what it is controlling at the very moment.
Das Keyboard
Where is the letters? Das keyboard believe with no keys to look at when typing, your brain will adapt and memorize the key position thus increasing typing speed.
AlphaGrip
Claimbled to the most comfortable computing device. It is a gaming pad, a keyboard also comes with a mouse trackball.

I have the roll up keyboard. Actually I bought it at a Radio Shack in Hawaii about 4 1/2 years ago. It is very handy but it does have it’s other side.
1. you definitely need a level flat surface
2. you better have a PS2 mouse port.
I suppose it would be easy to correct these oversights but so far the manufacturer hasn’t.

You can always use a PS2 to USB converter.

I have used a Kinesis keyboard for years. It’s like the Maltron above, but without the number pad in the middle, and costs far less.
Takes about 5 minutes to get used to the form, but is incredibly comfortable, even for someone with chronic pain problems like myself.
But it’s for TOUCH TYPISTS ONLY. My hunt-and-peck friends go bonkers when they try to use it.

I have both the das (i am typing on it now) and the projection keyboard. The optimus keyboard looks cool.

I’m typing this on a Kinesis. Seriously board for serious board users. See Jan’s post above: it’s programmable, and cheaper than the Maltron.

The Optimus Keyboard is a concept, the technology doesn’t exists and no prototypes exist. This is just an idea and the pictures are rendered images. A.

Actually the Optimus Keyboard is not just a concept. Here is the blog covering its current status. http://community.livejournal.com/optimus_project/

I like the Frogpad and Optimus ones!
ReplyRichard Appleyard February 21st, 2007
There is another entry in the keyboard arena you probably have not seen or heard of before, the EkaPad. EkaTetra, http://www.ekatetra.com , released the production version of this one-handed, 12-key keypad last year. This is unique in that it emulates a standard IBM or Macintosh 107-key keyboard but fits in the palm of your hand. On the desktop, you can dedicate one hand to the mouse full-time, and one hand to the keypad (3 hands are not required like a standard PC setup). But the keypad doesn’t require a flat surface allowing you to stand up, move around, or rest your hand in your lap (great for the modern, coach airplace seat). This is a personal keyboard that you take with you, plugs into pretty much any USB-enabled PC, and can recall stored passwords, keyboard shortcuts and frequently used information.
ReplyJayson Floyd February 21st, 2007
Just Like To Add…Instead Of Buying Das Keyboard…Go Out And Buy A Cheap One And Paint Over The Keys…If Your Smart About It You Wont Ruin The Keyboard And You Will Have Saved A Bunch Of Money…Worked For Me ;)

I believe there are still many types of keyboards that you don’t see. They are not featured here. Try looking up in google, yahoo or any other popular search engine. Just choose the right keywords like unique keyboards, weird keyboards, unusual keyboards, and so on.
ReplyTech Articles March 24th, 2008
It’s amazing to have these many choices!
we have different needs to fulfill so it makes sense that each person should buy the keyboard that can best address safety, style and cost issues.
I am personally using a split type keyboard to minimized the strain on my wrists and just like the maltron but with fewer keys but just as good if not better since its cheaper…
