The Advantage360 PRO Linear Quiet Contoured Keyboard from Kinesis features low-force Kailh Box Pink switches with just 35 grams of activation force. As with all Advantage 360 Contoured Keyboards, it takes the proven fusion of performance and ergonomics of the 3-dimensional concave keywell design and adds in additional ergonomic capabilities. This design now incorporates established ergonomic concepts of customizable tent, angle and separation that Kinesis has featured for many years in their well-known Freestyle line of keyboards. This version of the Kinesis Contoured Keyboard family can now deliver unparalleled levels of comfort and productivity for touch typists of all body types and builds while offering advanced ergonomic features and the added versatility of cordless Bluetooth connectivity. The Advantage360 serves as a neutral ergonomic data input interface for all touch typists. Anyone who considers their keyboard a core tool for their workstation should consider this keyboard. The contoured keyboard family is the only keyboard that addresses ergonomics down to the level of the fingertips. It does this by intelligently redistributing the repetitive activity associated with typing to minimize the potential of fatigue. Advantage Contoured keyboards are especially popular with those who perform keyboard intensive work, including programmers, transcriptionists, writers, and web content developers.

The Advantage360 Contoured Keyboard has several improvements over prior Advantage models. The new separated design affords the individual nearly infinite freedom to position the keyboard modules to create the optimal keyboard solution for the workspace. In addition, the new 3 position tent available in each module aids in further reducing pronation and the associated risk of repetitive strain that can occur with intensive and long-term keyboarding. In order to minimize the keyboard size and reduce unnecessary finger reach the function row has been eliminated with those functions now accessible via a FN layer in the primary keys. The 10-key numeric keypad embedded in the right-hand module continues to provide instant access for numeric entry, without moving the hand out of home position.

The Advantage360 Pro Linear Quiet Contoured Keyboard employs low-force Kailh Box Pink switches with just 35 grams of activation force. In order to take advantage of the global white backlighting on the PRO model the switches are topped with shine-through ABS plastic keycaps. For those who are willing to sacrifice the shine-through feature for higher quality PBT keycaps there are optional QWERTY, DVORAK and Blank sets of opaque PBT keycaps available.

The Advantage360 PRO version offers almost unlimited programmability through multiple interface options. The web-based KINESIS CLIQUE programming interface greatly enhances the primary keyboard functions, enabling anyone to customize the keyboard to minimize unnecessary key strokes, awkward reaches for shortcuts, etc. Supported in Edge and Chrome browsers, this convenient programming interface provides access to a wide range of custom programming that will be expanding as development of further features continues. Those considering using KINESIS CLIQUE may wish to consider how this interface can be used to enhance the performance of Advantage360 Pro by visiting KINESIS CLIQUE. Another programming option is the open-source ZMK Programming Engine, available online through GitHub. This is an advanced programming interface designed for those with at least some degree of programming knowledge. It can accommodate an exceptional degree of customization for the Advantage360 PRO. Because of the programming knowledge required to perform customization on the Advantage360 PRO model it is recommended that prior to purchasing this model purchasers should acquaint themselves with the ZMK platform and determine its suitability for their knowledge level.

For individuals who may not be comfortable with either the ZMK or KINESIS CLIQUE advanced programming options for customizing the Advantage360 PRO, the corded Advantage360 comes preloaded with the highly-functional and much more intuitive SmartSet Programming Engine which facilitates the development and storage of up to nine custom keyboard layouts and as well as complex macros to reduce repetitive or awkward keystrokes and maximize productivity. The Advantage360 is PC and Mac compatible, and includes additional hard-wired features such as unlimited custom key remapping, macro playback speed, and keyboard status reports. The corded Advantage360 is also equipped with high quality opaque PBT keycaps.

Note: If a tactile switch is preferred the Advantage 360 Pro Contoured Keyboard offers all of the same features but is equipped with Gateron Brown low-force tactile mechanical keyswitches with an activation force of 45 grams and a maximum force of 55 grams.

The Wireless Multi-Pairing Keyboard from Matias is for individuals who miss the Apple Wired Keyboard but want the cordless freedom of Bluetooth connection. This keyboard can pair with, and retain, always-live connections to as many as 4 different Bluetooth devices, switching between them with the touch of a key and automatically adjusting its layout to be compatible with the active device (i.e. Android, Windows, iPad, etc.). The rechargeable battery is able to provide up to three months of use between charges, without needing to power down and disconnect during idle periods. This makes this wireless keyboard perform more like a wired keyboard in that it is always connected and ready without a "wake up" period. The Mac model also offers screen brightness and media control via the FN keys. Matias scissor switches provide a satisfying typing experience on this slim, low-profile keyboard.

The Matias Wireless Multi-Pairing Keyboard is available for both Mac and PC, Model FK416BT is compatible with Mac OS X all the way back to Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and is available in Silver. The PC model (FK416PCBT) is legended for Windows OS and is available in Black.

For heavy use the Wireless Aluminum Keyboard offers the same functionality but has four times the battery life and a rigid aluminum housing.

Le Wireless Multi-Pairing Keyboard de Matias est pour les personnes qui manquent le clavier Apple Wired Keyboard mais qui veulent la connection Bluetooth. Ce clavier peut s'associer et conserver des connexions permanentes avec jusqu'à 4 périphériques Bluetooth différents, passant de l'un à l'autre par simple pression d'une touche et ajustant automatiquement sa disposition pour être compatible quel que soit le système (Android, Windows, iPad, etc.). La batterie rechargeable est capable de fournir jusqu'à trois mois d'utilisation entre deux charges, sans avoir besoin de s'éteindre et de se déconnecter pendant les périodes d'inactivité. Ainsi, ce clavier sans fil se comporte d'avantage comme un clavier avec fil, dans la mesure où il est toujours connecté et prêt à fonctionner, sans période de " réveil ". Le modèle Mac offre également un contrôle de la luminosité de l'écran et des médias via les touches FN. L'interuputeurs à ciseaux Matias de haute qualité offrent une expérience de dactylographie agréable malgré le concept mince.

Le Matias Wireless Multi-Pairing Keyboard est disponible pour Mac et PC. Le modèle FK416BT est compatible avec Mac OS X jusqu'à la version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) et est disponible en couleur argent (Silver). Le modèle PC (FK416PCBT) est compatible pour Windows OS et est disponible en noir.

Pour une utilisation intensive, le clavier Wireless Aluminum Keyboard offre les mêmes fonctionnalités, mais dispose d'une vie de pile quatre fois supérieure et d'un boîtier en aluminium rigide.

The Mousetrapper Alpha combines the advanced mousing functions of the Mousetrapper Control Pad with a compact scissor switch keyboard for the ultimate combination of cursor control and portable convenience. At just 12.3" wide and only 8.7" deep this compact combination is superbly portable and can be placed virtually anywhere a standard keyboard would fit. The Alpha is rechargeable and can operate either as a Bluetooth or Corded device. It is also compatible with both PC and Mac platforms. In Bluetooth mode it can be connected to two devices and remember up to a total of four devices. When operating as a corded device the battery is automatically charged.

The most impressive feature of this device is the Mousetrapper "Control Pad" that is centrally located directly below the keyboard. This two-dimensional device offers intuitive fingertip-driven cursor control. Eight light-touch buttons adjacent to the pad combine to offer full standard mouse functions as well as additional shortcuts (Double Click/Copy/Paste/Zoom In/Zoom Out/Scroll Up/Scroll Down). In addition, all of these buttons can be reassigned or custom programmed to a wide variety of commands via the MT Keys software. The Control Pad is designed to be used by either hand, with the fingertips "steering" the moveable pad to provide near effortless onscreen navigation and cursor control. Unlike touchpads, the fingers can rest on the Control Pad between mouse activation tasks, with clicking accomplished by lightly pressing down against the pad. The palm rest zones to each side of the Control Pad are also slightly elevated above the keyboard to aid in maintaining a neutral wrist alignment when using the keyboard.

The incorporated chiclet-style compact keyboard has low travel scissor switches that offer a degree of tactile feedback. The full-size keycaps and standard layout mean that there is minimal learning curve when moving from a standard full-width keyboard. It is also possible to custom program up to 11 keys (F1-F11) for further customization. Three levels of optional backlighting are available, easily adjusted via a keyboard shortcut function. For protection during transport, the Mousetrapper Alpha includes a neoprene travel sleeve.

The FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard from Kinesis Corporation is a compact all-in-one input device that offers both ergonomic benefits and performance features. The primary ergonomic benefit arises from the "split" keyboard layout which reduces wrist deviation and inward shoulder rotation by moving the hands out towards shoulder width. With a large Windows Precision Touchpad positioned in the space between the hands this keyboard becomes an ambidextrous portable (or desktop) data input device that is just 16" wide, 5.25" deep, and 0.75" high. The touchpad being centrally located means either hand can be used for cursor control, while requiring minimal movement from either home row position. And with the central location there is no outward reaching for a mouse and no reach forward as is common with most other all-in-one keyboards. Despite having compact dimensions the FORM still offers standard key spacing of 0.75" and an integrated touchpad for mouse input. This makes the FORM well-suited for travel use with laptops, especially when the laptop keyboard has a compact keyboard with reduced keypitch/spacing or where a laptop stand is being utilized to improve viewing ergonomics. The central position of the integrated touchpad also addresses the issue of unintended touchpad activation during typing that can occur when using laptop keyboards where the touchpad is positioned directly below the keyboard spacebar.

The FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard also has performance features that make it suitable for service ranging from everyday computer data entry to serving as a home entertainment controller. The machined aluminum case ensures rigidity and durability on desk or lap to support the key action of the low profile Gateron KS-33 Red Linear keyswitches. These low profile mechanical switches have a 1.3 mm post-activation travel to reduce potential fingertip impact that is especially common with common membrane and scissorswitch key switches. The low profile switches let the FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard offer the superior performance of mechanical switches while still presenting a height profile of just 0.75 inches. While being mechanical these switches have a low noise level that will not interfere with entertainment enjoyment.

The FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard is also capable of being programmed using KINESIS CLIQUE, a web-based interface currently supported in Edge and Chrome browsers). This convenient interface makes it possible to rearrange key actions, assign macros from a basic library of pre-configured actions for Windows and Mac, create Key Combo macros with up to 8 modifiers, additional layers, and program and perform numerous other functions, with more on the way as development continues. To learn more about the expanding range of capabilities and how this interface can be used to enhance the performance of the FORM please visit KINESIS CLIQUE.

The layout on the FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard is a standard Windows laptop layout but features Full-size function keys (F1-F12), Full-size Arrow keys (ideal for gaming), and Full-size Navigation Keys (Home/End, Page Up/Page Down). It also offers Media Actions (Volume Control, Track Selection, Screen Brightness) and SmartTV Actions (Launch TV, Launch Browser, Launch Menu). The large centrally-positioned Windows Precision Touchpad supports multi-finger gestures in Windows 10 and 11 and will provide basic touchpad functions in other OS. Connection to devices can be either Wired (via the included six-foot USB-A cord), or Bluetooth (Dual channel switchable to support 2 Bluetooth-enabled devices up to 30 feet away). Convenient 4-level white backlighting further enhances the potential for use as a home entertainment controller, with the rechargeable Lithium Ion battery able to provide 1-2 weeks of service with the backlighting active, or 2-3 months with backlighting disabled.

Note: For visual compatibility in the Mac environment the FORM includes 6 Mac Keycaps and a Keycap puller.

*(Note: As is the case with most linear keyswitches, the lack of any tactile feedback can lead to inadvertently exerting significantly more force than is required to actuate the keystroke.) Learn more about Tactility on Keyboards - How to Evaluate Soft or Light Touch (Keyboards).

Le FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard de Kinesis Corporation est un clavier compact tout-en-un qui offre à la fois des avantages ergonomiques et des caractéristiques de performance. Le principal avantage ergonomique se présente dans la disposition "split" du clavier qui réduit la déviation du poignet et la rotation de l'épaule vers l'intérieur en déplaçant les mains vers la largeur des épaules. Avec un grand Windows Precision Touchpad positionné dans l'espace entre les mains, ce clavier devient un produit portable (ou de bureau) qui est ambidextre et qui ne mesure que 16po de large, 5.25po de profondeur et 0.75po de haut. La position centrale du touchpad permet d'utiliser l'une ou l'autre main pour contrôler le curseur, tout en ne nécessitant qu'un mouvement minimal à partir de l'une ou l'autre position de home row. De plus, grâce à son placement central, il n'est pas nécessaire de tendre la main vers l'extérieur pour bouger la souris, ni vers l'avant comme c'est le cas pour la plupart des autres claviers tout-en-un. Peu importe ses dimensions compactes, le FORM offre un espacement standard de 0.75po entre les clés, aussi qu'un touchpad intégré. Le FORM est donc parfaitement adapté pour transport avec des ordinateurs portables, en particulier lorsque le clavier de l'ordinateur portable est compact et que l'espacement des touches est réduit, ou lorsqu'un support d'ordinateur portable est utilisé pour améliorer l'ergonomie du moniteur. La position centrale du touchpad intégré résout également le problème de l'activation involontaire du touchpad pendant la dactylo, qui peut se produire lors de l'utilisation de claviers d'ordinateurs portables où le touchpad est positionné directement sous la barre d'espacement du clavier.

Le FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard présente également des caractéristiques de performance qui le rendent adapté pour le travail quotidien d'ordinateur aussi que pour le domicile. Le boîtier en aluminium usiné assure la rigidité et la durabilité sur le bureau ou sur les genoux pour supporter l'action des touches Linéaires Gateron KS-33 Red à profil bas. Ces touches mécaniques à profil bas ont une course de 1.3 mm après l'activation afin de réduire l'impact potentiel sur le bout des doigts, ce qui est particulièrement fréquent avec les touches à membrane et les touches à ciseaux. Les touches à profil bas permettent au FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard d'offrir les performances supérieures des touches mécaniques tout en présentant un profil de hauteur de seulement 0.75po. Bien qu'ils soient mécaniques, ces touches ont un niveau minimal de bruit.

La disposition du FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard est celle d'un ordinateur portable Windows standard, mais il comporte des touches de fonction de taille normale (F1-F12), des touches fléchées de taille normale (idéales pour les jeux) et des touches de navigation de taille normale (Accueil/Fin, Page précédente/Page suivante). Il propose également des actions sur les médias (contrôle du volume, sélection des pistes, luminosité de l'écran) et des actions SmartTV (ouvrire la télévision, ouvrire la navigateur, ouvrire le menu). Le grand touchpad Windows Precision Touchpad en position centrale prend en charge les gestes à plusieurs doigts dans Windows 10 et 11 et fournira des fonctions de touchpad de base dans d'autres systèmes OS. La connexion aux appareils peut être soit avec fil (par le câble USB-A de 6 pieds long qui est inclus), soit par Bluetooth (Dual channel switchable pour supporter deux appareils Bluetooth jusqu'à une distance de 30 pieds). Le rétroéclairage blanc pratique à 4 niveaux améliore encore l'utilisation, avec la batterie rechargeable au Lithium Ion qui peut fournir 1 à 2 semaines de service avec le rétroéclairage actif, ou 2 à 3 mois avec le rétroéclairage désactivé.

Veuillez noter: Pour une compatibilité visuelle dans l'environnement Mac, le FORM inclut 6 Keycaps Mac et un Keycap puller.

The R-Go Compact Break Ergonomic Keyboard (available in Wired or Bluetooth models) eliminates the need to reach out and over a numeric keypad and navigation keys when reaching for a mouse on the right, addressing a common source of discomfort and pain. At just 11.2" in width this keyboard has a minimal footprint that will work on any desk or keyboard tray. The compact design is suitable for both left- and right-handed typists who wish to keep their mouse close at hand. The exceptionally thin (9 mm) profile of the Compact Break Keyboard also greatly reduces the potential of developing RSI related to wrist extension. The usage-monitoring Break software offers a colour-changing logo to remind typists to take breaks to move, stretch, and ease their eyes.

The R-Go Compact Break Keyboard features low-travel scissor switch membrane key switches with chiclet-style keycaps. Key spacing is standard and all primary keys are full-size, reducing adaptation time to a minimum. Typists who are looking for an easily portable keyboard may want to consider this keyboard. The ultra-compact design and just 310 gram weight of the R-Go Compact Break Ergonomic Keyboard make it highly suited for travel applications. The Wired model is equipped with a USB-C connection but ships with an adapter for use with USB-A ports, while the Bluetooth model offers a wireless connection to Bluetooth-enabled devices.

The R-Go Compact Break Ergonomic Keyboard does not include an embedded numeric keypad. Numeric entry must be completed either using the standard keyboard upper rank numeric keys or a stand-alone numeric keypad can be purchased. The R-Go Numpad Break is an ideal matching accessory keypad, with both Wired and Bluetooth models available. The wired model can be plugged directly into either the left or right side of the R-Go Compact Break Keyboard or into any standard USB port, and, of course, the Bluetooth model connects to Bluetooth-enabled devices.

For those who like the low profile of the R-GO Compact Break but may be looking to address the ergonomics of their workstation to an even greater degree, the R-Go Split Ergonomic Keyboard, available in both Wired and Bluetooth models offers the options of either a one-piece keyboard or of spreading the keyboard halves apart to gain additional ergonomic benefits.

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL Rechargeable Keyboard is a tenkeyless layout that features the same winglike design as the full-size Pro Fit models. The alphanumeric keys are oriented at approximately 11° with the navigation and arrow keys being at 0°. This sloping of the keys reduces pronation of the hands and forearm while typing. The left and right key groups are also splayed outwards at 33° to encourage a more neutral alignment and reduce ulnar deviation at the wrists. The integrated palm support on the Pro Fit Ergo KB675 is just over 3" in depth at the middle, and offers cushioning for the palms. It is covered in a leatherette material that is easily cleaned.

The angle and height of the Pro Fit Ergo KB675 tenkeyless keyboard is such that the wrists are supported in a fairly neutral alignment when the elbows are about 1" below the desk surface. For those who would rather sit at a more ergonomic height (i.e. elbows at or just above desk height) and benefit from a slight improvement in wrist alignment there are legs built into the underside of the palm support. When deployed these legs elevate the front to create a nominal 4° negative slope. When the keyboard is flat the highest point on the keys is 1.4" and with the negative elevation legs deployed the highest point is 1.9".
Note: While this keyboard does bear great similarity in appearance to the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard from Microsoft it should be noted that the concave layout of the Microsoft keyboard positioned the hands at a lower point than does the Ergo KB675 which has a convex curve to the key layout. As well, the addition of video conferencing keys at the top moves the hand about 0.75" lower on the keyboard which may cause the right hand to want to slip down and off the palm support.

The island-style keys are topped with flat keycaps that have very distinct edges. The key action is fairly quiet but it should be noted that they have a moderately high peak operation force of 55 grams, which over time can cause fatigue and strain on the fingers. As well, the inner columns of keys are wider to create a more appealing look but this can lead to inadvertently striking the keys off-centre. When struck to the edge there is a tendency for these keys to partially bind, thus requiring more force to complete the key activation. This could lead to dropped keystrokes and an overcompensation response of exerting a higher degree of force to ensure activation. With a limited travel distance of just 2.5 mm this will likely lead to the fingers impacting at the end of each keystroke.

This keyboard includes a bank of 4 dedicated video conferencing keys (End Call, Camera On/Off, Share/Stop Sharing, and Mute On/Off). There are also dedicated keys for Calculator, Search, Show Desktop, and Screen Shot, while the F Keys support Media Control alternate functions. In the middle of the keyboard are RGB Battery Status, Caps Lock, and BT Connection LED indicators. There are 20 programmable keys that can be accessed using the Kensington Konnect software - (PC and Mac options available) - that facilitates Key Mapping, Macro Programming, etc.

The Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL Rechargeable Keyboard is Windows and Mac compatible and is able to connect via either Bluetooth 4.0LE or the included 2.4GHz wireless receiver (replaceable if lost) which employs 128-bit AES government-grade encryption for security. The connection is switchable via the dedicated "Connection" key.

Le Kensington Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL Rechargeable Keyboard est un clavier avec disposition tenkeyless qui présente le même design en forme d'aile (winglike) que les modèles full-size Pro Fit. Les touches alphanumériques sont orientées à environ 11°, tandis que les touches de navigation et les touches fléchées sont à 0°. Cette inclinaison des touches réduit la pronation des mains et des avant-bras pendant la dactylo. Les groupes de touches gauche et droite sont également ébrasés vers l'extérieur à 33° pour favoriser un alignement plus neutre et réduire la déviation ulnaire au niveau des poignets. Le support de paume intégré sur le Pro Fit Ergo KB675 a une profondeur d'un peu plus de 3 pouces au milieu et offre un rembourrage pour les paumes. Il est recouvert d'un matériau en similicuir facile à nettoyer.

L'angle et la hauteur du Pro Fit Ergo KB675 tenkeyless keyboard sont tels que les poignets sont soutenus dans un alignement relativement neutre lorsque les coudes se trouvent à environ 1po sous la surface du bureau. Pour ceux qui préfèrent s'asseoir à une hauteur plus ergonomique (c'est-à-dire les coudes à la hauteur du bureau ou juste au-dessus) et bénéficier d'une légère amélioration de l'alignement des poignets, il y a des pieds qui sont intégrés sous le support de paume. Lorsqu'ils sont déployés, ils élèvent l'avant pour créer une pente négative nominale de 4°. Lorsque le clavier est à plat, le point le plus haut sur les touches est de 1.4po et lorsque les pieds d'élévation négative sont déployés, le point le plus haut est de 1.9po. Veuillez noter: Bien que ce clavier ressemble beaucoup au Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard de Microsoft, il doit être noter que la disposition concave du clavier Microsoft positionne les mains à un point plus bas que l'Ergo KB675, dont la disposition des touches présente une courbe convexe. Également, l'addition des touches video conferencing en haut du clavier déplace la main environ 0.75po plus bas sur le clavier, ce qui peut amener la main droite à vouloir glisser vers le bas et n'est plus sur le support de paume.

Les touches de style "island" ont des capuchons plats qui ont des bordures très distincts. Les touches sont assez silencieuses, mais il devrait être noter qu'elles ont une force de frappe significativement élevée de 55 grammes, ce qui, après un bout de temps, peut causer de la fatigue et des tensions sur les doigts. Également, les colonnes intérieures des touches sont plus larges pour créer un apparance plus intéressant, mais cela peut causer de frapper les touches sur le côté par accident au lieu du centre des touches. Lorsque les touches sont frappées sur le côté, elles ont tendance à se coller partiellement, ce qui nécessite une plus grande force pour compléter l'activation de la touche. Cela peut causer les caractères d'être perdus et une réponse excessive qui nécessite plus de force pour assurer l'activation de la touche. Avec une distance de déplacement limitée à 2.5mm, les doigts risquent d'avoir la vibration/choc de l'impact à la fin de chaque frappe.

Ce clavier comprend une banque de 4 touches spécifique au video conferencing (Fin d'appel, Caméra On/Off, Partage/Arrêt du Partage, et Coupure du son On/Off). Il existe également des touches spécifique aux Calculator, Search, Show Desktop, et Screen Shot, tandis que les touches F Keys support les fonctions alternatives des Media Control. Au milieu du clavier se trouvent le RGB Battery Status, Caps Lock, et BT Connection LED indicators. Vingt touches programmables sont accessibles à l'aide du logiciel Kensington Konnect (options PC et Mac disponibles), qui facilite le mappage des touches, la programmation de macros, etc.

Le clavier rechargeable Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL est compatible avec Windows et Mac et peut se connecter soit par Bluetooth 4.0LE ou par sans fil 2.4GHz avec la clé inclus (remplaçable si perdu) qui utilise la technologie Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-128) pour la sécurité. La connexion est switchable par la touche spécifique "Connection".

The Wave Keys Keyboard from Logitech features a wave-style layout that inclines slightly upward at the middle. The keys also sweep upward to the left and right to encourage a very limited reduction in ulnar deviation at the wrists. Unlike other keyboards of this style which offer a distinct separation of the keys along the center of the keyboard, there is no separation, which requires that the hands be brought to a central position that will require lateral deviation for most typists. As well, unlike other wave-style keyboards that fan the keys in a downward curve that mirrors the descending lengths of the ring and pinkie fingers, the Wave Keys sweep upwards across the entire alpha/numeric keys. This can lead to awkward stretching or repositioning of the entire hand for the ring and pinkie fingers to access the outer keys. Those with smaller hands will most likely find this reach even more significant. The rather rapid transition from the upward sweep of the alpha numeric keys to the level keys of the numeric keypad may also lead to regular ulnar deviation when transitioning back and forth from home row position to the numeric keypad or mouse.

The Wave Keys Keyboard features low-travel membrane switches which require a significant degree of force for activation. The keycaps are crowned and concave to assist in targeting but have a reduced horizontal and vertical pitch of 18.5mm (19.0mm is standard) which may leave some, especially those with larger hands and fingers, feeling crowded, especially with the upward sweep curving the keys inward towards each other. Included is an integrated 3.25" deep cushioned palm support with a cleanable surface. The righthand numeric keypad and repositioned navigation keys classify this keyboard as a compact financial keyboard despite a fairly significant 8.4" reach from home row to the right edge of the keyboard, something that should be taken into consideration when determining suitability.

The Wave Keys Keyboard is powered by two AAA batteries and is able to connect via either the included Wireless Logi Bolt receiver or via bluetooth.

The R-Go Numpad Break from R-Go Tools is an ideal matching companion for the R-Go Compact Break and Split Break Ergonomic Keyboards. With both wired and Bluetooth models available you can choose wireless freedom or use the cords included with the wired model to plug directly into the keyboard's supplementary USB-C port (Micro-USB on earlier models) using the convenient 12" cords. Of course, it can also be used as a stand-alone numeric keypad with any keyboard, by using the included USB-C to USB-A adapter and either the 12" or 59" cords.

The R-Go Numpad Break is equipped with low-travel scissor switch membrane key switches, resulting in an exceptionally thin (9 mm) profile that greatly reduces the potential of developing RSI related to wrist extension. The chiclet-style keycaps offer clear separation between keys to help ensure accurate data entry. The low profile and the light weight of just 96 grams also make this keypad an ideal laptop add-on. As a bonus feature the integrated calculator key can switch from data entry to the Windows calculator with a single keystroke.

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard features a winglike design that orients the alphanumeric keys at approximately 11° with the navigation and keypad keys being at 0°. This sloping of the keys reduces pronation of the hands and forearm while typing. The left and right key groups are also splayed outwards at 33° to encourage a more neutral alignment and reduce ulnar deviation at the wrists. The integrated palm support on the Pro Fit Wireless Keyboard is just over 3" in depth, and offers cushioning for the palms. It is covered in a leatherette material that is easily cleaned.

The angle and height of the Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is such that the wrists are supported in a fairly neutral alignment when the elbows are about 1" below the desk surface. For those who would rather sit at a more ergonomic height (i.e. elbows at or just above desk height) and benefit from a slight improvement in wrist alignment there are legs built into the underside of the palm support. When deployed these elevate the front to create a nominal 4° negative slope.

The Ergo K860 Keyboard from Logitech features a flowing design that orients keys at varying angles across the keyboard. The K860 alpha/numeric keys transition through a concave arc from almost level at the centre to about 5° at the right and left edges. The navigation cluster on the right then completes the transition to a fully flat numeric keypad. The left and right key groups are also angled or "splayed" outward to encourage adoption of a more neutral alignment of the wrists. The Ergo K860 also has an attached 3.5" deep cushioned palm support which rises up to match the keyboard elevation. This needs to be taken into consideration when deploying the K860 into a workstation.

While the K860 has a slender low profile the angled design results in the middle keys being elevated to 1.5". This elevation may require individuals to either raise their seats to accommodate the height of the keyboard or to use a keyboard tray to lower the keyboard into their lap. The keyboard is also equipped with front legs that can be used to raise the front to create either 4° or 7° negative slope intended to encourage better wrist alignment. Use of these legs may require further adjustments of seat or keyboard tray height because it adds another inch of elevation to the middle of the palm support and increases the risk of pressure points being created on the underside of the wrists.

The K860 features low-travel scissor switches with chiclet-style keycaps. Key activation is crisp and comparatively high force compared to other scissor switch devices and does require a significant degree of activation force. The low profile keycaps have a satin texture with a slight concave surface to aid in finger positioning.

L'Ergo K860 Keyboard de Logitech présente une forme fluide (flowing design) qui oriente les touches à différents angles sur le clavier. Les touches alphanumériques du K860 passent par un arc concave allant d'une position presque horizontale au centre à un angle d'environ 5° sur les bords droit et gauche. Le groupe de touches navigation situé à droite complète la transition vers un pavé numérique entièrement plat. Les groupes de touches gauche et droite sont également inclinés ou « ébrasser » vers l'extérieur pour encourager l'adoption d'un alignement plus neutre des poignets. L'Ergo K860 est également équipé d'un support de paume rembourré de 3.5po de profondeur qui se relève pour s'adapter à l'élévation du clavier. Cela devrait être tenu en compte lors de l'installation du K860 dans un poste de travail.

Tandis que le K860 ait un profil fin et bas, sa conception angulaire fait que les touches centrales sont surélevées de 1.5po. Cette surélévation peut obliger les personnes à surélever leur siège pour s'adapter à la hauteur du clavier ou à utiliser une tablette de clavier pour abaisser le clavier sur leurs genoux/cuisses. Le clavier est également équipé de pieds en avant qui peuvent être utilisés pour élever l'avant du clavier afin de créer une pente négative de 4° ou 7° prévu pour encourager un meilleur alignement du poignet. L'utilisation de ces pieds peut nécessiter d'autres ajustements de la hauteur du siège ou du tablette de clavier, car elle ajoute un pouce d'élévation supplémentaire au milieu du support de la paume et augmente le risque de créé des points de pression sur le dessous des poignets.

Le K860 a des interrupteurs à ciseaux avec distance court et des touches capuchons à chiclet. L'activation des touches sont significativement plus grande par rapport à d'autres dispositifs d'interrupteurs à ciseaux et nécessite une force d'activation significante. Les touches à profil bas ont une texture satinée avec une surface légèrement concave pour faciliter le positionnement des doigts.
