Compact Financial Keyboard

The Compact Financial Keyboard from Solidtek features a reduced-width key layout with a dedicated numeric keypad, making it ideal for space-restricted work areas. The compact design repositions the traditional navigation and cursor control keys and moves the numeric keypad directly adjacent to the primary keys, reducing the distance to the keypad and mouse by over 2". Equipped with traditional membrane keyswitches, the Compact Financial Keyboard features standard full-height keycaps with pronounced concave surfaces that can improve input accuracy. The top row keys (including function row) are equipped with clear keycap covers which can keep printed or hand written custom legending securely in place and visible, while protecting them from wear.

The Compact Financial Keyboard is available in Black with a USB connection. A white USB model and native PS/2 models are also available by SPECIAL ORDER ONLY.

• Compact Size: The Compact Financial Keyboard qualifies as a compact keyboard because it is only 15.75" (40 cm) wide, roughly 2.25" narrower than the average conventional keyboard.
• Full Size Keycaps for Most Keys: Standard sized sculpted (concave) keycaps and key pitch (the space between the keys) virtually eliminate any learning curve when transferring keyboarding skills to this keyboard. (Note: The clear keycap covers on the Function and Document Navigation keys do crown to a smaller overall contact surface but retain standard 19 mm key pitch spacing). Because standard spacing is retained for all keys the slightly smaller keycaps on these keys should not pose an issue to any individuals. In fact, the greater space between the actual contact surfaces may help to avoid accidental contact with adjacent keys.
• Concave "Arc" Keycap Inclination: The tops of the keycaps follow a concave "arc" or "scooped" design, which improves tactility for the letter rows by maximizing finger pad contact on the keycaps, and improves reach for the upper rows (number and function row).
• High-Quality Keyswitches: High-quality keyswitches offer full-travel movement; at 4.0 mm, these offer a longer key travel distance than most membrane switches.
• 104 Keys: The Compact Financial Keyboard has all 104 keys found on a traditional full-size keyboard.
• Ideal for Compact Spaces: This keyboard can be used in office environments but also can be used as a POS keyboard or even in a rack mount system due to its compact dimensions.
• Clear Keycaps: All top row keys (21 keys) have clear lenses or caps on them (F1-F12, Insert, Home, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, End, Prnt Screen, Scroll Lock, and Esc), so that they can be re-legended for specialized programs.
• USB or PS/2: The Compact Financial Keyboard is stocked in Black with USB connection but is also available in White or with PS/2 connection.
• Cable Routing Channel: On the underside of the keyboard there is a cable routing channel to direct the cable in multiple directions. This is useful in restricted spaces where the cable needs to be routed to a particular point, especially for rack mount applications.
• Keyboard Risers: Keyboard risers are located on the underside to positively incline the keyboard even more than conventional keyboards to improve visibility of the keys (Note: This places the wrists in a position of extension that can over time lead to discomfort and pain so these should not be deployed unless the keyboard will be used only occasionally for brief periods.)

• When using your Compact Financial Keyboard ensure that your wrists are in a neutral alignment - a straight line through the wrist and forearm. The low profile naturally encourages this but it is still easy to adopt non-ergonomic postures. If the surface the keyboard is placed upon can be adjusted (i.e. keyboard tray or adjustable desk) this is easy to do. If you need to elevate your seating height you may need to consider adding a footrest to your workstation.
• The Compact Financial Keyboard can work equally well for you whether you position your mouse on the right or left sides. By placing your mouse on the left you can balance your work between both hands, mousing with the left and entering numeric data with the right.
• As you will now have the freedom to keep your hand on the mouse while doing data entry, train yourself to access the numeric keypad by touch. Doing this will let you improved your speed and efficiency, especially when having to move throughout a spreadsheet or program that requires mouse input.
