$.01:
yknow, I haven't had a problem keeping my wrists up, but the mouse...

$.01:
This keyboard is $130, but ultimately it's a keyboard, right? How does it feel to type? I'm willing to bet that it feels the same as the $17 piece of garbage that comes bundled with new computers. If I'm going to spend $100+ on a keyboard it darn well better be buckling spring or similar.

That's my 2 cents.

As a disclaimer let me first say that I am the inventor of this new technology. And let me also say that your scepticism is understandable. Up until our keyboard was developed there had been no real change in the nature of keyboards. The utilization of robotic assistive technology has enabled us to totally change the nature of keyboards and enabled us to provide the ability to literally refresh your wrists as you use it. Clearly though, until you have tried the Smartfish Pro:Motion Keyboard it is hard to appreciate its amazing comfort levels. So, please send us your contact info and we will send you one to try it out - we know you will like it.

Hello Smartfishpro... i discovered you on Cnet.com... You mentioned in the response section that you could send out a Smartfish Moving Keyboard as I am some what skeptical to the feel and functionality. I was surprised that you offered to send one out to see if I would like it on a full time basis. Please contact me at 888.223.2226 Ext. 503... If this works out, I may want to purchase more for my staff. Thank you - Kai

We are at CES and happened to stop by and see the Smartfish keyboard and mouse. It is very different from anything else I have ever seen, and more comfortable than any keyboard I have used... and i have tried them all. It actually moves your hands into a slightly different position every hour or so. Awesome. Your hands dont get tired or achey even if you use the keyboard or mouse for a long time. I can't wait to get one.

I'd love to try this keyboard out, but where can I get it? The normal internet search or the website offers this info.

I must say I am likely the biggest sceptic of all. Im not sure how it would ever work so that typing was enjoyable. I'd like to think that if what you are saying is true about it, it could even be pitched to our company. If you could, would you mind letting me know how to get ahold of one of these.

As a person whom works on computers all day, this is a welcoming step forward. But I can't afford to drop a $130 (especially right now) on a keyboard. I hope that your [directed at smartfishpro] plan is to offer this product at a more affordable rate in the near future, or at least a similar product that maybe someone other then the monopoly man could/would be willing to spend.

Are these things ever coming out? They've been on preorder with Amazon since august! I wonder if this is vaporware, only provided for trade show fodder and article writing?
