Do companies provide alternative keyboards?

Companies take several different approaches to alternative keyboards which range from not providing them at all, or providing them only on medical prescription/injury accommodation, to the more progressive companies that keep a few alternative keyboards on hand for employees to try out. Increased costs of alternative keyboards and concerns about jumping on the bandwagon of an alternative keyboard before there is actual research to indicate that it is better, slows distribution of these keyboards, else they may find out that it actually causes more problems. Company ergonomists tend to focus more on how employees use their keyboard, rather than the type of keyboard they use.
