<abstract>The influence of keyboard design on a hand position, typing productivity and keyboard preference was evaluated  by comparing two segmented alternative designs with the linear standar keyboard: the FIXED alternative keyboard and the OPEN alternative keyboard. Of the three keyboards evaluated, the FIXED design incorporated moderate changes to the standars keyboard. These changes promoted a more natural hand position while typing thereby reducing the potential for cumulative trauma disorders of the wrist. In addition, the FIXED design preserved a reasonable level of productivity and was well accepted by users</abstract>
