By adding the VIP accessory (FreeStyle Mac VIP) to any of the above base keyboards you can create variable lateral slope (10° or 15° 'tenting') and removable palm rests (and matching palm pads). The Incline accessory (FreeStyle Mac Incline) offers a fixed base of 10° and legended variable splay up to 30°. If you require a discrete numeric keypad, we recommend the Low Force Tactile Numeric Keypad for Mac by Kinesis (AC210MUSB-WHT), with built in USB 2 port hub.

Picture of Maltron KeyboardErgoCanada.com is pleased to be launching a new alternate layout keyboard option here in Canada, the Dual Handed Maltron L90 Ergonomic 3D Keyboard by Maltron.

The Dual Handed Ergonomic 3D Keyboard (L90) from Maltron uses an alternative keyboard design whose purpose is to reduce injuries like RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by reducing hand and finger movement while typing. The keys are grouped and split in accordance with touch typing conventions to keep the hands apart yet within reach of all the commonly used keys.

The keyswitches are high-quality Cherry MX keyswitches, and the user has the choice of either the traditional QWERTY layout or the MALTRON layout. The numeric keypad are centrally located, with the space, tab, enter, delete and cursor control keys positioned directly beneath the thumb for quick and easy access. The keys are not staggered like they are in normal keyboards but arranged in a matrix.

The keyboard is grey, USB only for PC/Mac and comes either with or without a trackball.

For more information on the new Dual Handed Maltron L90 Ergonomic 3D Keyboard, see the Keyboards - Alternative Category in our → Online Catalog

Trackbar Emotion Central Pointing Device by Eurooffice now available in Canada!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to be launching a new central pointing device option here in Canada, the Trackbar Emotion by Eurooffice. This is the most affordable central pointing device on the market today, and features 2 x 1000 DPI optical sensors (one exclusively tracking horizontal movement, the other exclusively tracking vertical movement).

Picture of Mousetrapper AdvanceThe Trackbar Emotion central pointing device eliminates the 'reach' for the mouse by locating your mousing device immediately below your keyboard, right where your hands are while typing. As winner of the NECE 2008 Award for Best New Product, the Trackbar Emotion is the latest version of a mousing device that uses a rollerbar to navigate your cursor.

The Trackbar Emotion comes with six tactile membrane buttons to perform frequent actions like right click, left click, double click, etc. It also has two plastic palm supports on either side of the unit to provide support while resting. There is a clickable scroll wheel just below the rollerbar, and the entire unit is small enough to be easily transported when changing locations.

The Trackbar Emotion can also be used in reverse position by turning the unit 180° and pressing the white button on the underside.

For more information on the new Trackbar Emotion Central Pointing Device, see the Mouse - Alternative Category in our → Online Catalog

Professional Keyboard Platform by Allsop now in stock!

Professional Keyboard Platform by AllsopErgoCanada.com is pleased to offer the Professional Keyboard Platform by Allsop, which provides a worksurface without requiring drilling or permanent attachment to any office furnishings.

Many workstations have limited space and need a keyboard tray that is storable and quick and easy to set up. Not only does the Professional Keyboard Platform fit this description, it also does not require any drilling or screws to install. The pole the keyboard platform attaches to is positioned between the bottom of the desk top and the floor and can be set up in less than a minute.

It also has ergonomic features, like a swiveling platform (360°) with both tilting (22°) and telescoping (22") mechanisms to give virtually unlimited adjustment for ultimate comfort. When not in use, the platform can be stored out of sight, and includes a mousing platform with pad.

For more information on the Professional Keyboard Platform, see the Trays Category in our → Online Catalog

Mousetrapper Central Pointing Device by Mousetrapper now available in Canada!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to be launching a new central pointing device option here in Canada, the Mousetrapper Advance by Mousetrapper. This is an innovative, more tactile alternative to other central pointing devices which rely upon a cylindrical bar.

Picture of Mousetrapper AdvanceAn alternative mouse, the Mousetrapper Advance eliminates the need to reach for your pointing device by placing a steering pad (not a touchpad) immediately below your keyboard next to your hands. This steering pad is like a hybrid between a touchpad, a treadmill and a cylindrical bar pointing device.

Because it is designed to work with your keyboard, the Mousetrapper functions like an extension of your keyboard without overextending your arms. It has an easy-to-maneuver steering pad along with five non-tactile buttons to perform frequent actions like right click, left click, double click, etc.

You can even scroll up and down a page using the right-hand side of the steering pad (like on a touchpad!). It also has palm supports to cushion your palms while keying and using the steering pad, and comes in black housing with an attached flexible gray mat to place your keyboard on.

For more information on the new Mousetrapper Pointing Device, see the Mouse - Alternative Category in our → Online Catalog

The keyswitches are high-quality dome switches (low travel); the Matias Fn key also allows quick and easy access to keys that normally require a long reach – Arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, and others can now be typed right from home row, without moving your hand.

The keyboard also has the standard volume controls: Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute – as well as function keys, page navigation keys, and cursor keys.

Sandio 3D Game O2 Mouse from Sandiotech now in stock!

Picture of X-Slim Compact Keyboard from A4TechErgoCanada.com is pleased to offer the ideal mouse for all 3D applications, regardless of whether they are for work (graphics design) or play (3D games) - the Sandio 3D Game O2 Mouse.

While designed originally for 3-D gamers, this mouse has proven itself to be suprisingly effective for any 3-D Application including Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth. It has 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) with 16 programmable keys, and the DPI settings can be adjusted on the fly from 400 DPI to 2000 DPI. It also comes with a removable ergonomic wrist support.

Because using 2-D input devices for 3-D software is cumbersome and inefficient, Sandio’s 3D Game O2 was designed to enhance the user experience and increase productivity by providing a more powerful and intuitive interface than the ordinary 2-D mouse.

The operation of the 3D Game O2 is easy to use. Objects and camera views change in the same direction as simple finger gestures. The object or camera view moves forward when the user pushes, backward when they pull, and turns when they twist their fingers.

For more information on the new 3D Game O2 Mouse, see the Contoured Category in our → Online Catalog

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 (KBS720UB or KBS720B) 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 KBS720B is $20.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $210.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $220.00, a savings of $10.00 off the regular price!

The normal price of the KBS720UB is $25.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $210.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $225.00, a savings of $10.00 off the regular price!
