Check out the custom looking keyboard in "The Bone Collector", about 25 minutes into the movie. What is it? Has anyone here used one?

I found out it might have been made by Maltron, http://www.maltron.com in the UK, but they do not have a pic on their site, and I don't seem to be able to save a picture from the TV to a USB. The TV will accept USB input, but there does not seem to be a menu option under any of the dozens of choices to save a still to USB (or anything else).

No, it is a deeply curved ergonomic kbd with separate thumb keys.
All he is wearing there is a pulse ox.

Is it one-handed or two-handed? Black or grey? Trackball? Keys between the deep key wells?

Two-handed, white, no extraneous keys that I can see, like extra Fn keys, no trackball, deep front area for wrist support. He never actually types on it; Amelia does. Deep curve where the alpha block is. Only looks like 2 keys per thumb. Right and lft hands are sepatared by a good 2 inches, at least.

Ah. That sounds like a white Kinesis Contoured.elecplus wrote: ↑Two-handed, white, no extraneous keys that I can see, like extra Fn keys, no trackball, deep front area for wrist support.

Most Kinesis'es are black these days. They were white back in the late '90s when the movie was made.
The first black Kinesis keyboards ever seen were white keyboards painted black and used as props in the movie Men in Black, which came in 1997. It was mostly because their customers spotted the black keyboards in the movie and asked Kinesis about them that Kinesis started making them in black.
