The New Standard Keyboard offers what its designers claim is an easy-to-learn, more comfortable alternative to the traditional QWERTY keyboard layout. The color-coded keyboard’s letter keys are alphabetized and the total number of keys has been reduced to 53, all aligned to mimic natural finger movements. Measuring about 12.5 inches wide by 5 inches deep by 1 inch thick, the compact keyboard connects to Windows PCs via a USB port. It’s expected to be available in the spring.
