Recent Feedback on GoldTouch Keyboards:
-
“I think that the Goldtouch is a superior product compared to the Kinesis Maxim board because it promotes good keying technique of not resting the palms, the adjustability and manipulation of the angle of the board is easy to figure out, it follows good human factors design principles due to the "one lever" option therefore facilitating the ease to customize the fit to the user's stature and needs”.
-
"I like the newer Goldtouch design because the keys are soft like a laptop".
-
"There are no other boards that I like as much as the Goldtouch and I have tried most of them."
-
The Kinesis Maxim board and the Goldtouch board are the same length but the Goldtouch board is smaller in depth therefore making it more innate to include with a laptop as an external peripheral".
-
"The interface is intuitive compared to the Kinesis Maxim board" (the adjustment handle for the Goldtouch board).
-
“The Goldtouch affords greater range of motion for hand and wrist positions encouraging neutral wrist postures with keying tasks".

Recent Study Results:
-
In a blind study of twenty government employees who began using the Goldtouch board in replacement of the QWERTY keyboard in their office setting, all users, with the exception of one user, innately figured out how to position the Goldtouch board to fit their comfort level without instruction and/or explanation.
-
Neutral hand postures were obtained with 19 of the 20 users without explanation of how to avoid awkward wrist postures (ulnar and radial deviation) with keying providing support for innate keyboard design.
