Because they're the exception? That's a bad rule. The only way we improve things is by creating exceptions and adopting them.

Personally, I switched to ergo keyboards 20+ years ago and I'm much happier for it. I've had to change models over the years and there was always a brief adjustment, but it was minor -- and my hands rest is such a more natural position!

See, you are demonstrating what I mean right here. I would like to switch just once. The Microsoft ergo model is the closest to a standard, it seems.
