any ergo keyboard WITHOUT numpad?

as you probably know, most people are right handed and use the mouse on the right, problem with numpad is that the keyboard is misaligned and you have to stretch your right arm further just to type.
 
so you are left handed? and want to put the numpad on the left? i don't get it.. i don't know of any ergo keyboards with no numpad either.. i personally hate ergo boards..
 
I think he's talking about the fact that ergo boards tend to be REALLY wide, thus displacing the mouse much further to the right than it should be, or the keyboard to the left if you keep the mouse where it should be, and thus wants to know if anyone knows of any ergo boards without the number pad since it's of limited usefulness anyway and...eh you get it.

That's it, right? I'll look for some in a bit & link you if I see anything good.

Eh found a couple, but nothing at a price I'd call reasonable for a keyboard.
 
lol sorry for being unclear. This is what I mean:

1) i am right handed, and i use my right hand for mouse
2) my computer desk's keyboard holder isn't very wide
3) keyboards WITH numpad are wider than keyboards without. the problem is that, since keyboards with numbpad are longer, the section of the keyboard with the letters ARE NOT CENTERED. this means, i can use my mouse, but then when i try to type, the section of the keyboard with the letters are leaning to my left side, and not centered. This is really uncomfortable to type.
4) here is an sample of the size i want:

EXCEPT I WANT the keyboard layout to be ergonomic


clearer now? thx!
 
The boards I saw like that were over $100, do you want it to be ergo that badly?

The cheaper ones all had basically the same layout.
 
haha...depends

can i see?

edit: i've never actually used ergo ones before. but i just try sitting on my desk, with my arms resting in a comfortable typing position, and i see that it fits exactly as the design of an ergo board...where as if it was normal, i would have to bend my wrists
 
Maxim split keyboard

This for example. Tends to run $110-$150 from what I've seen. Note that I am not advocating this seller, I don't know a thing about them. It just turned up fairly quickly and had a good pic.

If you touch-type, especially for prolonged periods, split keyboards may be much more comfortable than normal. It's pretty much a love-or-hate thing. I used a MS Natural for a few years and replaced it with a Belkin, but it was even wider so after a few months I swapped it out for a standard keyboard. I can't quite get used to the normal keyboard layout, and while it's definately easier to reach my mouse I spend more time on the keyboard, so I'm probably switching back next time I clean off the junk on my desk.
