Compatibility
PC, Mac, IBM 3270, Sun Sparc, and TeleVideo 935 and 955.
Doesn't use conventional push-keys. Soft rubber keys, which rock forward
and backward (each key has three states), make chords for typing keys.
Learning time is estimated to be 2-3 hours, for getting started, and maybe
two weeks to get used to it.
Currently, the thumbs don't do anything, although a thumb-trackball is in
the works.
The company claims it takes about a week of work to support a new
computer. They will be happy to adapt their keyboard to your computer, if
possible.
