OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard Review

ExtremeTech has posted a review on the OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard
Imagine a keyboard with no space bar, no letters, no numbers no keys at all. In fact, forget the entire idea of a keyboard, as you know it, altogether. Just reach down with both hands and grab your knees (assuming you have two knees), and close your eyes. Only subtle differences exist between this sensation, and the experience of first lowering your hands and gripping the OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard.
But why would anyone design a keyboard like this? In one simple word, comfort. But comfort comes at a very steep list price of $695 in the case of the OrbiTouch, so its appeal will likely be limited to a specific class of users that cannot use standard keyboards without pain. Of course, there will also be the early adopters with excess discretionary income who must have the coolest new gadget. And for users who master the device, they will most certainly impress friends and coworkers.
