    I want an Ergo-Laptop

    Anyone ever seen a laptop with an Ergonomic keyboard, I don't think it would be that hard to make, especially if it was on a laptop with a widescreen monitor(15.4 or 17in), the have so much dead space where the keyboard is, why not just turn out the keys a little to make it more comfortable.

    Desktop: i5 2500K (w/ CM Hyper 212 Plus) , 16GB DDR3, 2x240GB OCZ Agility SSD, 2x1TB in RAID0, 2xeVGA GeForce GTX 570, Corsair TX750M PSU, ASUS Sabertooth P67, Dell 2209WA eIPS LCD

    You mean a split keyboard? Any company first to market with one would be doing so out of marketing. I guess with all the push for mobile workstation level notebooks, it's not out of the question. If you've ever seen the 17" Powerbook from Apple, then you know a split configuration would be easily done, but anything less than that it's hard to manage.

    The closest thing to an ergonomic keyboard for a laptop would be the keyboard on the Acer Travelmate 800 series notebooks.



    It has something like a 5 degree curve to make it a little easier on the wrists.

    Just don't twist the wrist when you type.

    Maybe be hard for people with shorter fingers though.
