Subject: Fast Long Lasting Keyboard


: No, this has nothing to do with ham radio, unless, of course, you are a 
ham,
: own a computer, use a keyboard, and also use a keyboard to program your
: radio and send CW.  Otherwise, it isn't ham radio at all related so those 
of
: you that don't appreciate the information, because it isn't ham related, 
can
: unsubscribe now and we won't miss you at all.  Don't let the door hit you 
in
: the butt on the way out either.

: My wife and I go through keyboards like nothing.  We have hunted
: for a good, long lasting, production type keyboard for years and
: finally found one.  We tried the key click style and brand and
: liked them and used them for years, off and on, but then they
: became very difficult to find.  Plus, after maybe six months of
: use, the control keys often began to stick.
:
: The other day, my oldest son found a keyboard that Sandy first
: purchased and tried and then we ordered a second for me.  Sandy,
: as some of you know, is a production typist as a medical
: transcriptionist and has been typing for 38 years.  She wears out
: the standard keyboard you get with your computer within six
: months.  Additionally, her hands begin to ache and this new
: keyboard seems to have eliminated that.  this new keyboard doesn't
: have the letters and numbers printed on the keys so if you are a
: hunt and peck typist, forget it.  They sell for 69 and 89 dollars
: plus shipping.  Two day air runs about 18 bucks additional.  They
: are USB keyboards but you can purchase, at just bout any computer
: store, a USB adapter the converts it into the standard IBM small
: barrel type connector and plug it right back into where your old
: keyboard was originally.  That's if you don't have a USB port.
:
: The keys are very light to touch.  The minute I began using mine
: today, I realize I was typing much faster because you simply don't
: have to press hard for the keys to make contact.  According to
: their website, and this sounds about right in product usage, the
: average keyboard will stand about 10 to 15 million keystrokes.
: I'd like to see that, though.  This keyboard, they claim will run
: 50 million keystrokes and 80,000 hours of use.  The backslash is
: also just above the enter key so your little finger can tap it
: without your hand leaving the home keys.  Speaking of home keys,
: the F and J keys have no markings on them but are curved and
: deeper than all the rest of the keys found on the keyboard so
: going directly to the home keys is no problem.  I have had
: problems for years with my right hand hurting after typing for
: very long.  This keyboard is so easy to type on, my right hand
: doesn't seem to care about it at all.  For complete details go to:
:
: www.daskeyboard.com
:
: and read more about it.  No, I'm not selling them nor making any
: money off of them but if I could, I would.  I just thought some of
: you might like to know about them.
