Pros & Cons

As its name implies, the Matias Half Keyboard looks like a keyboard broken in half. The keys match those of the left-hand side of a QWERTY layout (split to the right of the T). Hold down the Spacebar and the same keys map to a mirror image of the right-hand side. The layout favors left-handed typists, so their right hands can remain on the mouse.

At 5.8 by 3 inches, the Half Keyboard can fit into a cargo-pants pocket, so it's ideal for mobile hookups to your laptop, PDA, or cell phone via USB cable. Learning how to use it takes a lot of motivation, but hey, you're already halfway there.
