Cirque SmoothCat Keyboard and Cirque Wave II keyboard Available - but only for a Limited Time

Cirque SmoothCat Ergonomic Keyboard with TouchpadErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that we have sourced out a limited number of Cirque SmoothCat keyboards and Cirque Wave II keyboards. These are the original keyboards manufactured by Cirque and much sought after by many devoted users. Once these keyboards are sold, there will not be any further units available.

This keyboard has a Cirque Easy Cat Touchpad embedded in the sculpted wrist rest (which with driver will support vertical scrolling) which is located under the cursor control keys. The only other keyboard ever manufactured using the fixed split layout with a touchpad is the Adesso product - and that product has the touchpad located under the space bars. For those who prefer the touchpad in the original location, this is their last chance to buy this product.

We are taking back orders on these units, and expect to receive the products in the last week of May. If you have been looking for the Cirque SmoothCat or Wave II keyboard this may be your last chance to purchase this product.

Innovative Laptop Products - Laptop Docking Stations and Laptop Vehicle Mounts

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that we are now offerring the full line of laptop workstations by Bakker-Elkhuizen. The concept behind their accessories is simple:

  • offer variable elevation of the laptop screen so it can be raised to an optimal height and depth (distance from the user)
  • provide a built-in document holder (which rests on top of the laptop keyboard) and is immediately below the screen, eliminating the need to look from right to left - now the screen, documents and keyboard can all be in one vertical line, reducing undue head and neck motion
  • when used with a separate keyboard and mousing solution, you have a complete ergonomic workstation solution for the laptop, and can realize savings as there is no need to purchase a monitor as the laptop screen can now be used without discomfort
ErgoCanada.com is proud to announce that we will be distributing the line of vehicle laptop mounts from Interactive Products Corp. These units will provide an articulating mounting solution for nearly any vehicle.

Pictured at left is the LapTraveler RWHD, a heavy duty mobile desk with virtually unlimited flexibility for ergonomic positioning, and uses a gear lock (not an inferior quality friction lock) tilt and rotate mechanism at the base of the pedestal. The desktop has forward and backward tilt, as well as side to side tilt and is permanantly mounted to the pedestal. The LapTraveler RWHD Series Mobile Desk comes with three telescoping tubes: straight, 45º and 90º. The telescoping tubes are interchangeable, and provide maximum positioning flexibility. This unit is universal and guaranteed to work in your vehicle.

For more information on this and other products from Bakker-Elkhuizen and Interactive Products Corp., see our Laptop Products category in our Online Catalog.
