We’ve designed a truly new and better navigation cluster - one that’s much closer to standard AND more ergonomic. If you don’t follow the standard, there’s a long learning curve, and users are stuck having to suffer with an awkward, unfamiliar layout. If you follow the standard, the keyboard is too wide. Navigation keys have always been a big problem for ergonomic keyboards. You don’t need to worry about disturbing your co-workers. Plus, unlike every other mechanical switch, they are quiet enough to use in office environments. Their ALPS-inspired design delivers generous amounts of tactile feedback, while providing enough resistance to support the weight of your hands - exactly what you need for fast, comfortable typing. We’ve used the BEST keyswitches for typing. Compromising here can ruin an otherwise good keyboard. To put it bluntly, most ergonomic keyboards 'cheap out' on their keyswitches. This configuration may be useful if your desk or keyboard tray has its own angle adjustment already. Some users start with this configuration initially (as a stepping stone) and then gradually transition to tenting.įor a perfectly flat configuration, simply fold in all the legs.

Negative tilt offers significant ergonomic benefits, in a way that's closer to a traditional keyboard layout. This configuration is popular with people who find tenting too strange or difficult to adjust to. The 4 centre legs are extended, with the 2 outside legs folded in.įor the negative tilt configuration, unfold only the front legs of the palm supports. Shown above and below, this is the most ergonomic configuration, with your wrists in a neutral position, rotated slightly.

They can even be removed, if your desk already has palm supports built-in. The gel palm supports are thick and comfortable, with folding legs that let you configure the keyboard (according to your preference) in either a tented position, tilted downward (negatively), or flat. Spacious gel palm supports with fold-out legs for tilting & tenting.

The 12 function keys, the side hotkeys, the split spacebars, and a few other keys, are all programmable. Re-programming them is easy, and doesn't require any special software. Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste (and more)ĭedicated hotkeys for the 4 most important keyboard shortcuts - undo, cut, copy, and paste - are already pre-programmed to work right out of the box. This can be a real lifesaver for reducing wear & tear on your hands and wrists.Īwkward or difficult-to-remember keyboard shortcuts become fast & easy via programmed macro keys.īoilerplate text that you type repeatedly throughout the day (up to 60 characters) can be done with one key press.
