It used to be that "injury avoidance" was simply filing down the sharp edges on the vacuum cleaner hose before you fired up the adult channel. Now, it's a hi-tech game involving carpal tunnels, servo motors and fancy algorithms, all – like the vacuum cleaner trick – to keep your poor hands from getting tired.
The Pro:Motion keyboard from Smartfish actually monitors your keyboard habits over time and then slowly adjusts the height and angle using motors to make things more comfy and less strenuous. If this truly works, it would be a boon for me, a truly terrible hunt-and-peck typist.
I imagine the machine learning how I think and then sliding the keyboard under my fingers. All I would have to do is bang my hands up and down and the keyboard would place the right key under my rat-a-tatting digits.
Smartfish has not announced a price yet, and a Google search inevitably brings up a bunch of results for keyboards on "promotion". With all the gubbins packed inside, though, don't expect it to be cheap.
