HP goes wild with new mice and keyboards

Sep 16th 2008 1:20AM on Engadget

I'm glad HP is venturing into the new road towards ergonomic keyboards with this new wireless "spill-resistant" smiley keyboard that is not necessarily fully comfortable, as smiley's are not the best out there but are better than all the flat keyboards based on 1800's typewriters. Ergonomics is the way to go and we're slowly getting there, as you can appreciate in these few samples

Microsoft intros SideWinder X6 keyboard and X5 mouse

Aug 21st 2008 6:17PM on Engadget

Real Left-handed keyboards have the arrow-keys and home-end-pgup-pgdn cluster at the left size in a mirror like layout

therefore this SideWinder X6 is not a left or right handed, is just a right handed able to unplug the numpad

imaging being left handed and using the numpad at the left size, but then you need to press an arrow key, guess what, you have to use your right hand or move your left hand 12 inches to the right every time, not a smart design

the fact that you can unplug the numpad is a good idea so you can plug and unplug it as you wish, but if you don't really use the numpad I prefer a keyboard without numpad

besides, seeing the side connectors and the crooked outside lines makes me wonder which moron designed this keyboard to begin with.

Logitech reveals Cordless Desktop Wave Pro keyboard / mouse tandem

Aug 19th 2008 7:53PM on Engadget

logitech states that this wave keyboard is their highest level of comfort, uhh?

imho this keyboard is significantly gigantic using most of a desk area and is not ergonomic at all compared to the well known microsofts and kinesis

or the unknown prototypes like http://www.trulyergonomic.com
or the optimus tactus keyboard http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus-tactus

nevertheless, if it hovers for $50, I'll get my hands on one

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
