Kantek offers a wide range of products including Monitor Visors, Privacy / Glare Filters and much more!

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to add Kantek's several innovative lines of products to our product range, and announce that we are now the Canadian distributor for Kantek.

Kantek produces monitor visors to fit monitors of all sizes from 14" to 21", and are available in both light grey and black. Monitor visors prevent overhead and lateral reflection and glare, either from overhead lighting or windows. The full length sides provide privacy and the entire unit is fully adjustable and made of durable high impact plastic. Installation is quick, easy and requires no tools. For more information, check out our Monitor Accessories Category in our Online Catalog.

Kantek Secure-View Filters
Provides security for your sensitive data

  • Keep confidential work secure from prying eyes
  • Viewing area from the front it is clear, from the side it is blurred
  • Eliminates glare and increases contrast
  • Available in Contour Style (designed to look like part of your monitor) and Centre Mount Style
  • Available for traditional CRT monitors and LCD monitors

In today’s open office environment it is becoming more difficult to secure confidential data, personal information, financial records, etc. from being viewed by unauthorized eyes. To help eliminate this problem Kantek has developed the Secure-View filter with 'View Control Technology'. When viewed from the front, the image is perfectly clear; when viewed from either side, the image is blurred, thereby providing privacy.

The Secure-View Filter can help organizations providing health care services meet the requirements which came into effect under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) as of January 1, 2004. Since January 1, 2004, the Act similarly protects the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in the course of any commercial activity in Canada, where there is no provincial legislation in place that is deemed to be substantially similar to the federal law (all provinces except for Quebec). For more information, check out our Monitor Accessories Category in our Online Catalog.

Sejin Trackball Combo Keyboards and Black Left Handed Keyboards Now Available!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that we are now the Canadian distributors for Sejin keyboards. Sejin produces a wide range of electronic products, including several uniquely designed keyboards. We are featuring some of their most innovative designs. First is the Compact SpaceTrack Combo Keyboard which features a compact design (15.35" wide) and a trackball under the space bar - all in an infra-red wireless package. An added bonus with this keyboard is a supplementary mouse (which can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and plugs directly into it).

The second keyboard fills a demand we have had for some time - a left handed keyboard which is available in both beige or BLACK! We will get a picture of the black version of the keyboard available shortly, but in the meantime we have a beige picture available at left. The keyboard has a 101 key layout (i.e. no windows keys) and uses non-tactile mechanical keyswitches (i.e. you don't feel a click when you press the keys). The numeric keypad is non-mirrored (as you can see from the picture) and the keyboard is standard size (18").

For more information on these keyboards, check out our Keyboard - Combo category in our Online Catalog or our Keyboard - Left Handed category in our Online Catalog

Kensington Offers Up a New Take on the Compact Keyboard - ComfortType

Cirque SmoothCat Ergonomic Keyboard with Touchpad Kensington is now supplying a new 'Comfort Type' key layout which slants the keys on the keyboard without actually 'splaying' the keyboard in the manner of most fixed split keyboards. The Comfort Type Slim Keyboard employs a unique, 'Comfort Type' key structure that encourages a relaxed wrist position while maintaining the standard key locations. The result-increased comfort with minimal learning time.

For more information on these keyboards, check out our Keyboard - Compact category in our Online Catalog.

Mirtech Soft-Key Keyboard - Spill Proof, Anti-Bacterial, Flexible

The Soft-Key by Mirtech gives keyboard users a new experience in PC desktop and laptop computing. Designed for maximum comfort, versatility, and user safety, the Soft-Key roll-up keyboard features an ultra-comfortable, silicon-based surface that not only seals in the touch-sensitive keys but provides a protective shield that will repel bacteria for the lifetime of the keyboard.

Comfortable and Flexible Design
The Soft-Key is made of a pliant silicone-based material that provides superior tactile feedback unlike most foam - like spillproof keyboards. The keyboard's light-weight, roll-up design provides portability.

Anti-bacterial Protection
The Soft-Key's protective biochemical agent, Biocera-A, is permanently built in to the keyboard to repel bacterial caused by sneezing, coughing, or other sources of infection. It is completely harmless to users and has been approved by U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This makes the Soft-Key an ideal keyboard for any office, hospital lab, classroom, military installation, or industry, where bacterial contamination is a common risk.

This keyboard has 85 keys, is a PS/2 device and is 15.9" x .25" x 6.5", weighing only 200 grams.

For more information on this product, see our Keyboards - Compact category in our Online Catalog.

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, and we have less than 10 units remaining.

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.

NEW: We have also obtained a number of UK layout keyboards. These keyboards are identical in terms of functionality and usage - the only distinction is that the keycaps are slightly different (a pound symbol instead of a dollar symbol, etc.). If you are interested in one of these, we are selling them at a discount of $15 i.e. for $135 instead of the regular price of $150.

For more information on this product, see our Keyboards - Combo category in our Online Catalog.

 

Promotions and Sales - May 2004

May Maxim Promotion

Kinesis Maxim Keyboard

The Kinesis Maxim adjustable keyboard is on sale for the month of May. Kinesis' reputation for quality and reliability is well-deserved, and ErgoCanada.com is proud to be Kinesis' authorized distributor in Canada.

The Maxim is a very sturdy keyboard which offers superior tactile feedback, adjustable tenting, continuously adjustable split (or 'splay') and removable padded palm rests. Much more versatile and narrower than 'natural-style' keyboards, the Maxim accommodates a wide range of user preferences. And for multi-user workstations, you can reduce the split to 0, and eliminate the 'tent', converting it to a standard keyboard for users who don't want an ergonomic - style keyboard.

NEW!

There is now a PS/2 to USB adapter for the Maxim, which allows you to use the Maxim on new IBM laptops (which often only have USB ports on them now), and also on Macintosh computers with a USB port. It is regularly priced at $40.00, but when purchased with a Maxim, is available at half price for only $20.00 - making it very affordable.

The Maxim numeric keypad is now a standalone USB device, and still offers the same touch as the Maxim's high quality tactile membrane keyswitches, and the versatility of positioning it where you need it when you need it.

One of our most popular entry-level ergonomic keyboards - now is the time to get it at a great savings.

Naturalpoint TrackIR2 Gaming System

 

 


Immerse yourself in your favorite video game simulations, with the most precise and affordable
motion capture system ever designed. The TrackIR2 now interacts directly with the game, instead of emulating a mouse. The most important benefit of this is absolute positioning. No matter where you go, you will always return to the game's dead center.

With absolute positioning you can set up dead zones and non-linear motion scaling, because you have a reliable center point to work with. Plus, your mouse is now free to do the things you'd expect your hand to be doing, independent of your view.

In TrackIR2 enhanced mode, you'll fully lose yourself in the game.

The new TrackIR3 Pro units will be available mid-June, and we need to get rid of the last couple TrackIR2 units...Regularly priced at $195, we are offering a $45 discount on these units, making your price only $150! This kind of promotion is only available while quantities last, so order as soon as you can!

For more information on this product, see the Mouse - Alternative or TrackIR category in our Online Catalog.
