I have tried almost all the weird keyboards there are. I buy them off Ebay. GoldTouch is my

I love my Goldtouch -- can usually find them reasonably priced on eBay. nm

Goldtouch?
Where did you get this Goldtouch, Midas ?? I think the Natural was the one I used before. Can you adjust the Goldtouch or does the company?

goldtouch keyboards anyone?

I did a search but came up empty handed, which I do not understand as I recall seeing Goldtouch mentioned before.


Are people generally happy with this keyboard?


more info on the Goldtouch.

While it's not to my liking, it may be good for those who aren't really partial to a very clicky, mechanical keyswitch type of feel and who don't need a totally split keyboard.  And it's fairly economical compared to many good ergo keyboards.


 


Just curious...for those of you who use a Goldtouch

I am considering purchasing a Goldtouch keyboard.  I have had a total of 4 wrist surgeries in the past and did some reading about this keyboard and would like to give it a try.


I am just curious, for those of you who use one, how long does it take to get used to using it? 


Any info you could give would be very helpful!


TIA


Goldtouch is brand name. see msg.

I always get mine on eBay. They aren't cheap but you definitely get what you pay for and they are great, in my opinion.
I think a Goldtouch? was rek'd before. Might do a net search

Goldtouch Keyboard
I just got a Goldtouch keyboard with seperate number pad.  I can't get my ALT functions to work on the keyboard or the number pad.  I speaking about ALT 171 for 1/2 etc.  Does anyone have a Goldtouch answer?
Goldtouch ergonomic keyboard
Check out ebay for keyboards.  I use a Goldtouch, whic tents up in the middle, like a teepee.  Got used to it real quick.  Now it seems totally strange and uncomfortable to use a "regular" keyboard.
I have a Goldtouch and love it! You can split it sm
to whatever angle you want, and also "tent" it up.  I used to use the Microsoft Natural and loved it, but this is even better!  
Nope, unfortunately, the Goldtouch doesn't

And I don't like the key feel of the Goldtouch that much (not clicky enough for me).


Is your Lexmark anything like these?  (My dream keyboard, sigh.  Somebody who posts here has one of them, but they're in the really prohibitive price range now, something like $500+.)http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/categories.main/parentcat/12675 


If so, what a shame yours is wearing out. Maybe you could get it repaired?  http://www.pckeyboard.com/FAQs.html#Q8


Why, oh why, oh why, did they stop manufacturing good split keyboards like this?  Especially the IBMs.  I might try a Comfort ErgoFlex or ErgoMagic next time.  http://www.sforh.com/keyboards/split.html


Thanks so much for the followup.  :)  And best of luck.  I well know how hard it is to think about going to any other style (totally split, with separation, that is) of keyboard now. 


I have a Goldtouch. It has held up for two or three years already. nm

Use mine for work sometimes, but plug in my Goldtouch sm
keyboard and "real" mouse.   Obviously, too cumbersome for just "play" at a coffee house or something, but when I travel, I do pack the "good stuff" with me 
Could someone help me on my Tech Help question re. Goldtouch keyboard?
Please see my question on the Technical Help board.  Thanks
I haven't tried the Kinesis, but I use a Goldtouch, and love it. sm

You can split it however far you want it, "tent" it up and do whatever you need to make it as comfortable as possible.   I have heard good things about the Kinesis (are you referring to the one with the "wells?"), but it is kinda pricey, and I think it takes awhile to get used to it.  Let me know what you think if you get one.


 


Good luck! 


Love my Goldtouch -- can spread it apart and tent it up however you like. nm

Ilove my Goldtouch -- you can make it a "'weird shaped" or not so weird shaped sm
as you want.   You can split it apart and angle it however you like and even tent it up too.  It definitely has helped me a LOT!  Before that, I used the Microsoft Natural and loved it, but this is even better.  :-)
Keyboards - Goldtouch, Kinesis Maxium, Kinesis Freestyle (sm)
Has anyone bought and used these keyboards within the last year?  I want a new keyboard and was looking at the above 3 mentioned.  I was favoring the Goldtouch but when I goggled Goldtouch reviews there seemed to be so many negative reviews - keys sticking, keyboard collapsing in tented position, etc.  Has anyone bought these keyboards within a year or so and could you tell me how you like them?  Would appreciate your input so very much.
eBay
My sister does eBay on and off but was doing it full time a couple of years ago and made probably $40K that year selling mostly popular dietary supplements.  She was able to find a distributor and then sold them at a profit on eBay.  She always tells people, watch infomercials, keep an eye on what is popular on eBay, find a distributor (I think this would be the hardest part), and figure out a competitive price.
eBay
I sell & buy on eBay. I was a MT in the cardiopulmonary dept of the hospital but needed to expand my terminology (went to nursing school in early 70s) and managed to purchase the entire 2005 ed. of the SUM program with all books & up-to-date reference materials for $0 with buying packages, keeping what was needed and reselling. This included a second Dell computer system, a dictaphone and new Infinity USB foot pedal. After completing this over the winter, I am hoping to transcribe from home as an IC. I did work for many years as a legal transcriptionist. I had to leave my hospital work due to health problems and am now on Social Security disability but am still able to do a limited amount of work from home, just at my own pace and only to earn under $700/month.

I guess I rambled on about this but my daughter and I have sold quite a bit over the last couple of years. We have our "eBay closet" where we pick up extremely cheap new items (such as we find on $1 racks) or sets after holidays. It's a fun way to earn a little extra money. She also sells her kid's clothes for way more than she would get at a garage sale. We just don't purchase large items that are hard to package & ship or are difficult to store.

Just remember you have to pay taxes on it now. Last year the IRS busted thousands of people for not reporting the income.
Try Ebay
:)
Ebay.
Be sure to search for "foot petal" or "wave peddle" because you can find things cheaper with typos.

I got a brand new Stedman's on ebay for 30.00 including shipping.

Ebay
You can find Dictaphone C-phones on ebay for about 200.
EBay
I just bought a new one on EBay.  They have all different kinds and you can ask questions of the seller if you are in doubt about something.  A new Panasonic Standard Tape usually sells for about $200 new, and I was able to get a Sanyo which is a much fancier, nicer machine that usually sells for about $350-399 for the $200.  They also have used ones.  Check it out. 
Try Ebay
I needed a computer with Windows XP, and it is where I got mine. You're most likely not going to find a computer with Stedman's on it. You'll have to buy that separately.
Have you tried ebay? NM

Yes, I tried ebay. Thanks for
the info though.  Guess I'll have to pay full price.  Oh, well.

I have about 6 different kinds.  Hubby likes his Sennheiser, but I prefer my RCA WHP 170. 
I tried ebay...
and couldn't get a program under $200.  May I ask how reasonable yours was?  Was it new or used, OEM or retail?  I am having trouble locating a new version from a seller who has more than a couple of feedback or any sells at all, so I am leary of them.  Thanks again.
Try Ebay
I don't have any used ones that work but you might try Ebay.

I have a new Olympus 330 (I believe), which is a very very small recorder. If you're interested in it for $100, e-mail me.
Try Ebay....
There are usually multiple MT equipment items listed there. If it's used, just read the description thoroughly to make sure it's in good working condition; check the shipping cost to make sure they aren't gouging you on that, and check the seller's feedback to make sure they're reputable.

You might be able to get a really good used one for half what you would pay for a new one.


Try Ebay.. in the $500 neighborhood there..nm

Ebay works
I did for about two years but packaging and going to the P.O. every day got to me.  It works though.  It is a great experience.  I loved it.  If I could find a way to do Ebay selling full time, with a few coworkers I would. Im thinking about it when I relocate to NY next year, to have my sisters helping.  What I used to do, when selling on Ebay, I would go shopping and many stores that have two for one.  I would buy and keep one for myself and put the other item on sale on Ebay..I would shop at discount stores, thrift stores, Pay Less stores and then start off with minimum and before you knew it, I was getting full price for what I was selling..I used to order from Lingerie Warehouse.  OMG..the prices for caftans, teddys, etc. were so cheap in bulk..I would order about 12, 15 for one delivery..and sell them and made a profit..Also body jewelry sells well..One day, Im gonna sell again on Ebay..however, right now, Im focused on transcription (blah)..
ebay sales
Well, my accounts were always looked at..I had soaps, body facial products and line reducers (for face), lingerie, halloween products, kitchen products..movie videos, CDs, candles, shoes (Pay Less always has two for one or one for half price), books (you can get great used books for cheap and sell them for so much more..like a used Harry Potter..you can get a lot)..I just posted them and they were looked at..what matters is how you introduce your products..you post them and then tell about them..so you need to post good things about your products, you know, pump up your product..Yes, I truly think you can quit anything else and go ebay full time..I was thinking about that but going to the post office every day and packaging the products got to me..If I had had someone to help me, I think I could have done it..Like I posted previously, Im gonna do it again, when I move back to NY next year..There are so many surplus companies, manufacturers who will sell to you wholescale..Gosh, I had so much left off when I quit.LOL..I had purses, body jewelry, lingerie, kitchenware..you name it..I gave it all away to friends and used it for myself..Just surf for wholescale companies in the net..I loved selling on Ebay, plus you meet such nice people..I met people from England, Germany and all over the USA (through emails and phone calls)..It was a great experience..What I recommend is surf for wholesale companies and when you shop, buy two for one, go to Factory for U, Big Lots, Annas Linens, always when you shop be looking for something you can sell..Buy one get one for free always was great for me..
Thanks, I will try it, guess you get what you pay for (ebay) - sm
tried to save a few bucks, $68 for it to last a whole 6-7 months. Guess I will buy it new from a computer supply company this time.
Ebay bully
I received an email from someone saying they were going to report me to ebay if I didn't send the package immediately. I sent it on to Ebay and said sorry but I do not sell anything on Ebay, only buy at this point.
Anybody sell on Ebay? If so...
I've bought dozens of things on Ebay, only one item there.. today.. then it tells me I have a second chance offer. Not sure what this means, even after reading what it said about it. Any help appreciated !
Cars on EBAY
I live in Georgia and already, drowned cars from Lousiana and Miss. are showing up as "good buys". Beware, once these cars are cleaned up, you will NEVER know they've been submarines in earlier lives. On the other hand, my son bought an awsome Audi out of Tampa, but that was before the hurricaines.
Try Ebay for MT references. nm

Better off buying on Ebay.

I bought this computer and what a mess.  I was told that it was bought for her daughter just the previous year and still had the warranty.  She was going to transfer the warranty to my name. 


I thought that because I used paypal I would be safe, but that is only if you buy off of E-bay.  When I received the computer, it was a whole two years older than I was told and there was no longer any warranty.  The seller conveniently died a week after I received the computer.


So, if anyone contacts you about this computer, BEWARE. 


Look on Amazon or eBay.

not sure, but you can check on ebay...
that's where I got mine. $20.00 for a brand new Infinity 9-pin foot pedal.
I bought some on Ebay for $26 ;)
You might want to check there.  The person had an ebay store and many styles and all the ones I was considering were under $30. 
Did you check eBay? nm

What sells well on Ebay??..sm

I definitely want to do it at least for extra money.  Tried to sell a Barbie doll, but didn't sell.  Going to try some other stuff, but wondering what sells well.  Clothes?  Kitchen items?
