Pain-free typing

People plagued by repetitive strain injury can throw away their keyboards.
Inventor Peter McAlidon has come up with 鈥渙rbiTouch鈥, a pair of domes that fit
comfortably under your hands. Each dome can be pushed in eight positions
corresponding to the eight main compass directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and
NW). Different combinations of these movements emulate a Qwerty keyboard
(www.keybowl.com/products/ howitworks.htm). Trials show that most people manage
to get back up to 52 per cent of their original typing speed after just five
hours of practice, says McAlidon.
