Nicholas Tavlas has spent a lot of time developing a keyboard that perfects keyboard ergonomics. The unfortunate fact is through the creation process he never took a step back to see what an ugly duckling has been created. A lot of research was put into the design process. The split in the keyboard allows the hands to be in the most neutral, natural and stationary position. The slight angle of the keys reduces strain on the wrists and the significant split prevents the elbows from needing to bend the hands inward to type.

Tavlas also gave himself the honor of changing the QWERTY layout that has been the standard in keyboarding since the 1860s. Some more frequently used keys from the right side were moved to the left to maximize efficiency when using the right hand for the keyboard and mouse. Something tells me that Tavlas was not influenced by Apple's design team. This keyboard is currently only a conceptual design. I'm not one to judge, but the outlook is pretty grim for this diddy.
