Arthritis - some keyboards better than others?

[southpaw]

Can anyone please advise if they have found some keyboards better than others for arthritis sufferers? I have done a bit of googling and the Microsoft Natural Keyboard (pictured below) seems to come up in some discussions but has anyone got any personal experience?

Thanks

Consider downloading and learning to use a brilliant piece of freeware called Dasher - I'm typing with it now and indeed it's pretty much my only means of typing at the moment. It's a mouse-driven onscreen system which does not require clicks or key presses except to move in or out of typing mode, so great for sore hands. Can be used with any control device currently on the market.

Plus, it's really really nifty clever design and techie people might like it generally. Dasher linky.

PS sorry you have arthritis. People with the genetic syndrome I have almost always develop it, at 25 it's really getting going in my hands now. Bugger, innit?

I don't have arthritis, sorry if that wasn't clear, its for someone else who asked if I knew much about it!

I'll pass on your link, thanks!
