Hi, I have a decstation 5000/200 equipped with the standard lk201 keyboard. I have recently be diagnosed with RSI (repetitive strain injury) which I believe is partially due to some problems with my current keyboard which include: o the placement of the control key on the outside edge of the caps lock key o the slope of the keyboard even without the legs in the back. o the amount of pressure required to strike each key. I am interesting in hearing about any alternatives to the current keyboard which addresses these issues. I have looked at the lk401 and it doesn't seem to offer much difference in comparison to the lk201, but I would be open to hearing experiences comparing the two. please respond via email as I don't normally read this group. If there's interest, I'll summarize the responses I get. Thanks in advance, Derek ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | DEREK FONG | Internet: thewho@gusty.whoi.edu | | Clark Laboratory 317 | thewho@plume.mit.edu | | MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography | http://gusty.whoi.edu/thewho.html | | Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution | | | Woods Hole, MA 02543-1541 | Alma mater quote: "Stanford... | | (508) 289-2814 | FAX:(508) 457-2181 | much more than a shopping center."| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | DISCLAIMER: My opinions are my own and do not necessarily represent | | those of MIT, WHOI, or NSF.
