I love how they call things ergonomic without good justification. The standard ergonomic keyboard does not even change the orientation of the keys so that both sides the keys are staggered in the same direction. It seems obvious to me that if it is truly ergonomic, the keys should be staggered in or out, not both. For the right hand the keys are staggered in and for the left out. There what look like some great ergonomic keyboards but they are hundreds of dollars. The companies I have worked for would not pay for a decent ergonomic keyboard. I usually use a laptop personally, so that really does not make sense.
