I've never found an ergo keyboard that fit me better than a traditional design and I've tried several.

i would like one for gaming but being left handed the arrow keys and numpad would have to be curved too.

I remember when these were big like 10 or so years ago, used to play with my friend's and thought it was nifty. However, I've become a mechanical-elitist which means i'm not even remotely considering this; but that aside, the keyboard just looks obnoxious, not to my taste.

The keyboard design is nice, it is similar to Logitech Wave.

The drawback is the high price. They could ask 50% less euros.

LOL...I remember when every keyboard was mechanical and I for one will never go back to one....I like my smooth soft touch short stroke cell keyboards...
I can understand why people like mechanical keyboards...they have a solid quality feel to them...but these curved keyboards aren't good imo...they make my wrists hurt..

This is your problem and only yours, these curved keyboards have the most ergonomic and pleasant design.

It is probably just you and similar who prefer to type on their 4 inch smartphones. :lol:

Or, in other words, it is plain evil.
