Historical Alternative Keyboards

Several of the early ground-breaking alternative keyboards are no longer being manufactured or never saw the commercial market at all. Collected here are several of these products that have been historically listed in the TIFAQ. Some may still be on the shelves on resellers and catalog sources.

Apple Computer, Inc.

Apple Adjustable Keyboard

  • Compatibility: Mac
  • Price: Was $119
  • Availability: No longer available

The Apple Adjustable keyboard had one section for each hand, and the sections rotated backward on a hinge. The sections did not tilt upward. The keys were arranged in a normal QWERTY fashion.

The main foldable keyboard resembled a normal Apple Keyboard. A separate keypad contained all the extended key functions.

The keyboard also came with matching wrist rests, which were not directly attachable to the keyboard.

Many peripheral keys, such as function keys, were "chicklet" keys, rather than full size, normal keyboard keys.

Comments About The Apple Adjustable Keyboard

Unfortunately, Apple has apparently decided to discontinue this keyboard. They legitimized the industry, and now they're leaving it. C'est la vie. -DSW-

Lumbar Cushion

Lumbar Cushion

Lumbar support is a primary feature of quality ergonomic chairs that help improve posture. The contoured chair back helps to evenly support the natural curvature of the lower spine. Inadequate chairs contribute to back stress, circulation problems, fatigue and discomfort.

When it is too costly to purchase new ergonomic chairs, a more cost effective solution is to retrofit existing chairs with a lumbar support.

Mice Pointing Devices

Mice Pointing Devices

Mouse pointing devices have been the stated reason for many computer-related hand and arm injuries. Use of a mouse typically involves arms reaching to the side of the keyboard and deviated wrist postures. Add to this repetitive wrist and arm motions, and several ergonomic risk factors appear.

Where a mouse is used with the computer, place it close to the keyboard. The whole arm should be used to move it, instead of just the wrist.
