5Fingerworks Keyboard Touchstream – Price: $1.500
What’s truly amazing about these keyboards is that key, mouse, and gesture input all occur in the same overlapping area of the MultiTouch surface.
Why should you buy a TouchStream keyboard instead of a mechanical keyboard and mouse? The reasons are many: You’ll never have to reach for the mouse, as the mouse function is always underneath the finger tips.
User do not have to sit near their desks in order to keep close to the mouse.
Typing is done using zero-force ‘keys’, reducing strain on tendons. And the list can go on.
Produced by FingerWorks, the Touchstream is a membrane keyboard with a twist. It accepts gestural multitouch input on its surfaces.
Not in production anymore, (Apple acquired FingerWorks and its patents in 2005) its original value was a mere $340 but since the company was bought out, these computer keyboards have increased in value, reaching up to $1.500.
