As a Kinesis user I like what I see about the Truly Ergonomic (TECK)
and it will be something to consider for my next keyboard.

Big difference looks to be that CTRL and ALT are used by pinkies and
not thumbs, may not be great for avoiding Emacs pinkie. Also, the
Kinesis hardware provides for OS independant programmable keyswaps and
macros - does the TECK have something like that?

Cheers,
