Epson's rather expensive data-entry keyboard
We doubt you really need one of these, but Epson has come out with what they call a "Business Full Keyboard" that assembles all the keys you'd want to use when entering numbers one-handed, to form a sort of ten-key pad on steroids. A nice touch is that the number pad can be attached to either side of the main section to suit both left- and right-hookers. The design is supposed to minimise the stress caused by hammering away at the keys for hours on end, though regrettably there are no features designed to help you put up with a life that involves punching numbers into a computer all day. Also, at Y68,000 and weighing in at around 2kg, this is heavyweight in all senses.
Compatible with all recent flavours of Windows; out now in Japan.
