Abstract: This invention relates to ergonomically designed input devices, and methods of using these devices, that are suitable for use with computers, gaming consoles, or electronic typewriters. In one embodiment the present invention comprises a keyboard housing, which is adapted to contain the components of a keyboard, comprising a first side and a second side. The first side is operably and pivotally coupled to the second side, and the first and second sides of the keyboard housing include a front face, a back face and side portions. In this embodiment, a plurality of input keys for inputting data into an electronic device can be located on the front face of at least one of the first and second sides of the keyboard housing. In one embodiment, the first side and the second side of the keyboard housing can pivot, which allows the operator to adjust the keyboard housing to fit the contours of the operator's hands and wrists.
