I've wondered about those split keyboards. I've seen the pictures but never seen one on display in a store to try it out. Do you own one? If so what exactly is the drawback that causes them to be hard to use, because for me just looking at them they look like they would be easy to use. One problem that comes to mind is if you're used using a particular finger to hit a key that is contrary to standard form & on this device its on the wrong side for that... I adjust to things like that fast I tried Dvorák layout for a week. Got o.k. speed out of it but had a hard time on other peoples keyboards so switched back. However if its a placement problem that just makes it hard no matter what key you try to hit that would really be a problem. Like to close or to far from thumb tip to hit while holding in comfortable position etc. So a review as to why you don't like split keyboards would be nice.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
