i have come to the conclusion

that anything that touts itself as "ergonomically designed" should be thrown out. And fast. Before it hits the shelves or the consciences of gullible consumers.

Currently I'm attempting to type on such a keyboard and have so far made, at minimum, six typos for every eight letters typed. The keyboard is split in half, tilted and at an odd angle. Simply put, it is awkward.

Ergonomically designed pitchforks and snow shovels are even worse. I'm sure you've seen them - the normally straight handle, great for leverage purposes, is bent halfway up, thereby ruining any and all semblance of balance, decreasing leverage capacities, not to mention increasing the workload.

Pet peeve of mine.
