Costs more than an ordinary keyboard, but compared to a new pair of hands, it is as yet literally infinitely cheaper.

My finger, wrist and forearm pain had me nearly out of a job. Tried all the "usual suspects" in the ergo keyboard world, plus PT, massage, etc. Nothing was working. Then a friend sent me the link to the DataHand website. After some serious investigation, I took the plunge. This thing saved my hands, and my job. Unfortunately, two months after I received it, they went out of business. If it dies, so do my hands. Yikes. In a similar boat here. My finger, wrist and forearm pain had me nearly out of a job.

Convinced my boss to buy 10 because other programmers were complaining of carpal and we were paying hundreds of $$ for other ergonomic keyboards. Bought a second one 3 yrs ago after a long web search and coughing up $60 (I paid $12.99 from the liquidator). The keyboard now has a AT->PS/2->USB converter on it and still functions. Would love to be able to find another one - or a few more. Most solid keyboard I've ever used, even when just laying flat. jerry I bought one from a liquidator in 1995 for my home system to help my wrists and fell in love.

The Goldtouch made my arms hurt. I have been dealing with RSI for 10 years. I wish some manufacturer would make the Flexpro again. The only improvement I would like on it would be to make the keypad ambidextrous. If someone can locate a Flexpro for sale that would be great. I don't know what I would do if mine broke. My email- henderson_m@excite.com. Thanks! Mark Henderson I have used the Flexpro, Comfort, and Goldtouch keyboards- The Flexpro was by far the best. The Goldtouch made my arms hurt.

It has only been used a few hours to try it out, and I was very impressed. However, I was using Dragon Dictate voice recognition for my work and put the Flexpro up on the shelf. I would be interested in selling it for $100 or Best offer. I have a Key Tronic Flexpro that I won as a door prize at an AMAT siminar.

I live in the Seattle, WA area. Two keyboards are still in plastic and the third was lightly used for a month. I am selling 3 of the ErgoLogics on Craig’s List. I live in the Seattle, WA area.

I searched for four months and located another five, because I assumed some would fail. No problem yet (after eight years), so I might possibly consider selling one. The learning curve is so low for a competent touch typist. I can't imagine adapting to the other designs out there. I had a Microsoft Natural, and it didn't help at all - this one works!

I had broken my wrist skiing and I couldn't turn my wrist. A few months later, I realized that having the true flexibility made life SO MUCH EASIER for me that I don't let it out of my sight. I had bought the Flexpro for $40 bucks back then and I wish I would have bought 10 of them. For me I LOVE the wrist guards. They really support my wrists really well and make a HUGE difference for me when I'm not using them. I even bought a targus docking station so that I could connect my keyboard from AT to PS2 and into my PC via USB. Although a little clunky I would NEVER give it up. Sure people come to my desk and say "what the heck is that?" They try and walk away, but I'll tell you this, it is so much more comfortable than trying to use another one. And is Willis Wasabi is still interested in selling his, I'd be more than happy to buy. Flex pro.... please bring it back!!!! :-) I keep looking for others out there I’ve had my Flexpro since 1993.
