So far, not liking the keyswitches much.

I had high hopes for this keyboard; I use a split keyboard with no numeric keypad and as a "lap board" typing from a recliner with a large monitor, for full-body ergo reasons, and that works well. Until recently I had used a supply of ergo keyboards which are no longer made, but the last of those recently died. So I tried this.I would have preferred that the halves of the keyboard were an inch or two further separated, but the real discomfort I'm noticing is with the keyswitches, in particular the right shift key which is the only one I use. The extra effort it takes - perhaps from poor centering of the bar in the case - is giving me a repetitive ache in the base of my right thumb which was not the case with my prior keyboards. (this is a membrane keyboard).The price isn't high - at 33 bucks shipped for me - but I'd have preferred to pay a bit more and have less thumb pain. I may decide to send it back within the Best Buy return window.I'll add to this review if I come up with any other impressions.
