I remember when these things were briefly in the public eye in the early 90s, but they're only the second dumbest alternative keyboard I've seen. The dumbest was a box with 10 holes you stuck your fingers in that were actually a bunch of two-axis controllers, and you typed by moving your fingers in different combinations of directions. It was supposed to be way faster than a conventional keyboard if you learned to use it.

Same basic idea as these except each button was more like a recessed D pad:

Actually I might be misremembering the AccuKey (last one on that list).

The ergo stuff looks goofy but once you start feeling pain, the choice more or less gets made for you.

Once I started programming full-time I bought a Kinesis Freestyle. I don't put it vertically, though it's an option. For me it's enough to just have the two halves spread out.

A side bonus is that other people can't just start typing on your keyboard in lieu of explaining something to you.
