I loved my Truly Ergonomic TEK-207 But 5 of the keys eventually stopped working well. I've been trying to clean it up but not getting far. Heartbroken.

The current TEK CLEAVE has infra-red keys which probably would solve my problem. But I'm sort-of saving up to buy an ErgoDox EZ Glow, in black, and Batman my setup to the hilt.

Both are "ortholinear" instead of staggered like a type-writer. Took some getting used to, but I sure miss that now I'm stuck on this old Apple keyboard that I'm currently using.

If you wish to re-arrange the key-caps (you use something other than QWERTY, such as Dvorak or Colomak) then you'll want to get a keyboard that doesn't "sculpt" the keys at different heights.

Ergo keyboards looks really weird to me. But I heard about all the benefits.
