The Kinesis FreeStyle Convertible Keyboard is now in stock!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to be offering a revolutionary new keyboard from Kinesis, the manufacturers of the Maxim and Contoured line of keyboards.

The Kinesis Freestyle convertible keyboard is a breakthrough in ergonomic design. Created with input from ergonomists and health professionals, the Freestyle adapts to the specific needs of each user, while providing a stylish accent to any workstation.

The Freestyle is intuitive to configure and use with simple, sturdy adjustment mechanisms. Interchangeable accessories provide features never before available from just one keyboard design. The keyboard without any accessories is called the Freestyle Solo. Accessories available include the VIP accessory (VLifters which allow the keyboard to 'tilt' at 10° and 15° and palm supports with pads) and the Incline accessory (a fixed base with permanent incline of 10°). These combinations allow the user to choose configurations that provide complete separation or adjustable front splay, adjustable or fixed tenting, plus integrated and removable, padded palm supports.

 

November 30, 2006, Las Vegas, NV...
The Freestyle Keyboard was voted by NECE (National Ergonomics Conference and Exhibition) attendees as one of the most likely products to increase productivity and profitability, while improving workplace health and safety.

The FreeStyle features a modern, progressive and intuitive layout, with easily accessed Cut, Copy and Paste keys and double wide DELETE and ESC keys. Like all Kinesis keyboards, this keyboard is driverless, making installation simple and painless. Click here to see the layout.

Introductory Pricing is as follows: FreeStyle Solo: $135.00, VIP Accessory: $50.00, Incline Accessory: $50.00

Pricing on the Solo will drop as of May 1st, 2007 to $125.00.

Matias Optimizer Keyboard now available!

ErgoCanada.com is announcing the launch of the new Matias Optimizer Keyboard, designed for accountants, writers, engineers, and anyone who wants to get their work done faster. The Optimizer puts the commands you use most right at your fingertips, saving you time and money!

Other keyboards force you to move your hands (and arms) to reach the commands you use all day, every day. The Optimizer puts those commands MUCH closer — at or near where your hands already are — so no time is wasted moving them. An optimizer 'shift' key replaces the CapsLock key, providing access to a layer of additional functions including:

Arrow Keys, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Equal (=) on Number Pad, Cut, Copy, Paste, Enter, Esc, Delete, Backspace, Erase Word, Select, Select All, Select Word, Move by Word, Web Browser Back, Forward, Launch Calculator, Caps Lock, Num Lock.

Evoluent Bundle

Picture of Evoluent Mice

The Evoluent Compact Left Handed Keyboard is the only compact keyboard with a numeric keypad on the left side. Many right handed individuals find this keyboard ideal as they can put the mouse where the numeric keypad would normally be, and still have access to the keypad with their left hand when needed. The compact layout allows this keyboard to be used in situations where conventional left handed keyboards will not fit.

Ordinary keyboard wrist supports are flat on top to support your hands flat on the keyboards. Your forearms are twisted out of their neutral positions in the same way a forearm is twisted when holding an ordinary mouse. Also, only small areas of the hands contact the wrist support, which causes uncomfortable pressure points. The Evoluent PostureRight Wrist Support solves the problem with a contoured surface which reduces forearm twisting and increases the contact areas for greater comfort.

Buy the Evoluent Compact Left Handed Keyboard (in Black or Purple) with the Evoluent PostureRight Wrist Support and save $10 on the bundle!

Add any version of the ever-popular Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 or VerticalMouse 3 to your bundle, and save even more - $15 off Evoluent's triad of products.

RollerMouse Bundle Promotion

Picture of RollerMouse PRO  with A Style Keyboard

The RollerMouse Pro is a unique and highly effective ergonomic pointing device that helps prevent strain and tension of upper extremity muscles including shoulders and elbows. It is a remarkable way to control the cursor without the need to grip or reach for a mouse, and requires minimal space.

Keyboards with a conventional rectangular design tend to work best with the RollerMouse product, and we have two options which offer unique features. The "A" Style keyboard (KB800A-PS2-BLK) offers an ultra thin design that's the correct height for integration with the RollerMouse PRO. Another benefit is the unique 'A' shape of the keys which promotes improved ergonomic positioning.

The Zeomi ZTab Keyboard in white features a triple-width TAB key under the cursor arrows, making one handed numerical data input a breeze. It partners nicely with the Classic RollerMouse (the first generation model) in white.

The normal price of the KB800A-PS2-BLK is $30.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $240.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $250.00, a savings of $20.00 off the regular price!

The normal price of the Zeomi ZTab Keyboard is $55.00, and the price of the RollerMouse Classic is $230.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $250.00, a savings of $35.00 off the regular price!
