Other companies have also introduced their own version of the ergonomic keyboard. One company of note is Key Ovation which makes the Goldtouch ergonomic split keyboard with available Goldtouch wrist pads as a option. [4] Goldtouch has added a compact Goldtouch Go! Travel Keyboard for use by owners of laptops and Goldtouch for Mac Adjustable Keyboard. With a price range between $119.00 to $149.00 for the Goldtouch Smart Card Keyboard for companies and governments agencies that need to keep track of which employees access what data.
An USB (universal serial bus) connected keyboard pad seems to be the best solution for adding warmth and ergonomic support while keyboarding. A heated keyboard pad connects to the computer and draws a low voltage of electricity providing warmth to the pad's surface. The keyboard pad consists of a cloth cover and a soft sponge-like interior. The arms and wrists rest on the pad at just the right height over the keyboard. The surface of the pad delivers a steady flow of heat. Hands never touch the keyboard or the desk's surface.
