    I am wondering if anyone knows a portable ergonomic keyboard. I do realize the demand is relatively low but I would like to know if they exist because two years ago I went to an MS ergonomic split keyboard due to RSI symptoms getting bad. That was for my desktop but I just got my laptop a few days ago and I am getting tingling wrists meaning the RSI is starting to come back from the laptop keyboard. I do not want to be forced to use a full sized desktop ergronomic keyboard with my laptop at my desk because they are big and not very portable and makes having my laptop well not portable like I got it to be. I love my new think pad way better than the ones I tried in the stores but I cannot find a small portable one online and am going to have return it probably because of returning RSI and I have until monday to make a final decision as I need to ship to back by then for a full refund.

    I found these. Folding keyboard and this one too Other keyboard. They are not a microsoft egronomically curved like I was looking for but might work. The adesso one is curved for better comfort.

    eh? Canadian like me eh? Looks like the best option is to get a full size keyboard and use it at my desk when using at home for prolonged periods of time as thats where the laptop will be used primarily. Then I can still use it around the house, and when used for longer periods time can use my external keyboard, mouse, and 22" LCD. Thats the best way to go. Thanks for input everyone.
