New Office Keyboard: Pushing 6 Million Buttons to Discover How We Work | |

| Time: 12:32 EST/17:32 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

For the fourth time this month, Sally happily sits down at a desk, ready for another volunteer session. Her arm is comfortably connected to several electrodes that monitor her every move. Watching carefully, the researcher records the usable data for precise mathematical analyses. While it may sound like a scene from a science-fiction movie, it is a typical day at Microsoft Hardware's ergonomics research lab. Known primarily for software innovations, Microsoft's ranks also include a team of 200 engineers, industrial designers, ergonomists, technologists and business professionals -- practically a "company within a company" -- working to create high-performance, comfortable and stylish hardware. Starting two decades ago with a gray, box-shaped mouse, Microsoft Hardware has evolved into makers of best-selling keyboards and mice, with a common goal of making people's computing experience more productive. | ||

Oh no, not the split keyboard gimmick again! :)
I bought this office keyboard, and it's really quite nice. The keyswitches they used are more advanced than any previous MS keyboard, and rival those found in the IBM and Northgate keyboards that used to be the top of the heap. |

| I like the split design too. I'm hooked on it. |

| I vote for a split office keyboard as well. |

| Oh God, didn't we have this arguement about what keyboards are better the last time we posted news on the Office Keyboard!! |

Yes, but we didn't come to a conclusion.
I vote for the Split Linux Office Keyboard! |

| I'll go for dictation then! |
| #7 By 3 (62.253.128.4) at 10/2/2001 5:56:49 PM |
| Well personally I have no preference, I type just as well on both types of keyboards in my view. |
