This week we came across the DataHand keyboard, an interesting keyboard that has an available 174 keys that are utilized using five key switches clustered around each finger and the thumbs to switch modes. This setup allows the keyboard to offer the standard QWERTY or Dvorak keyboard layout while keeping the hands and arms supported. Although very different looking from the standard keyboard, this keyboard looks to be a very innovative product and is worth checking out.
