Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of KeyOvation Goldtouch for Mac Adjustable Keyboard - USB - QWERTY - White
Customer Review: Great for mouse & keyboard user
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this keyboard.
I was having issues, not only with my wrists, but also in my shoulder. The small footprint and removal of the number pad allows me to place my mouse closer - eliminating much of the pain I was experiencing in my shoulder.
Perhaps I have a different model than the other reviewers, but I have no problem with the materials.
My only complaint is the moving of some keys, like ctrl, which is place annoying close to help and pwr.
Customer Review: Erconomic Keyboard
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for one of our copy editors at work. She says it's great. She'd been using other ergonomic keyboards and this one is the best she's tried.Customer Review: Halfway there
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used a Goldtouch Mac keyboard for two years now. Nine of my fingers love it, but my left pinkie joint is inflamed by the terrible, awkward, undeniably faulty positioning of the Control key. Groping for it, I frequently hit the Help, Num Lock or Power key by accident. That's not very ergonomic. Keyovation should fix that. But if you don't use the Control key, you won't care.
When I first got the keyboard I contacted their support department for some assistance in re-mapping that key. They were nice and friendly but said it couldn't be done. That's not very ergonomic either. Keyovation should fix that too.
The adjustable angle is great, especially for laptoppers 'cause you can flatten it for packing in your backpack. It works, but over time the clutch on mine has grown a little bit loose. Then, yesterday, the locking arm fell right off. (Keep in mind, that's after two years of heavy use -- your mileage may vary.) I'm hoping Keyovation will fix that, but I haven't heard back yet ...
The last thing I can say about the GoldTouch is that if you use it in public you will get interrupted a lot by people who think it's cool and want to know all about it. Usually they'll ask where you got it and how much it costs. I could have made some decent money as a keyboard salesman by now, if I could only recommend the thing a bit more highly.
CODA: Keyovation fixed my broken keyboard at no charge! Awesome customer service!
Customer Review: Great product but materials are flimsy
Summary: 3 Stars
I received a GoldTouch keyboard in 2005 that was solid, sturdy and well-built. I absolutely loved it. But I just bought this new Mac-compatible version and the quality of materials has really gone down. I can see that the pin holding the adjusting bar can break from the snapping motion required to position the keyboard. I am afraid to adjust it often. I recommend this keyboard if you have pain to resolve, but otherwise, the keyboard is overpriced considering it may have to be replaced in less than a year due to the cheaper materials.Customer Review: What a cheap mess
Summary: 2 Stars
I've used split keyboards before and wanted to go back since my wrists started to hurt again recently so I ordered one of these. If you are typing on this rather cheaply made keyboard, then you are fine but if you are like me and need to use modifier keys with graphics programs, then you'll hate this keyboard. They have mysteriously taken the control off of the left side and stuck a Help key in between it and option. Then they stuck a Power key above that with a numlock key kitty corner from it as well. It makes using the control key almost impossible as its like using your finger to navigate a mine field of uncommon keys that will invariably interrupt you (a power down notice, your letters typing numbers or a help window opening). And to further add to the mess, the command key is way off to the left so you will spend a while mashing command shift, thinking it's command-z or strain to reach over your thumb to hit command-t. Clearly not designed by someone who has used a Mac. Terrible - sending it back.
