I'm just checking over the polls I've voted in previously and saw that the winner of this poll was the least popular option with only one vote... what? Doesn't really seem like a win for the community. Am I missing something here?
The Kinesis and the Esrille look quiet different, the Esrille keyboard case has a stepper angle and features no cupped switches position. A flat or dive position is by far more ergonomic, but the Esrille is just doing the opposite. If you look at the Kinesis, the bottom rows are diving and the home row is kinda flat.
This Esrille surely looks nice but the main shape is a wrist breaker… Shouldn't the slope be reversed to really be ergonomical (ie not going against the natural position of arm>wrist>hand)?
What do you mean by reversed? The basic shape is roughly similar (in terms of the position of hands) to, say, Kinesis Advantage, which to me is one of the most amazingly comfortable and ergonomic keyboards in the world. As far as I can tell by looking at the Esrille, it should feel very much the same.
