Available in both English and French Canadian layouts, the Sculpted Ergonomic Rechargeable Keyboard for Mac from Matias reflects many of the features appreciated in the discontinued Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard. It combines the same familiar layout, very similar styling and ergonomic design, and Matias crisp scissor-switch membrane, laptop-style chiclet keyswitches. Enhanced functionality is also provided, with the addition of an embedded numeric keypad making this keyboard a true compact layout, and performance-oriented individuals will appreciate the full on-board and driver-free programming capabilities that the Sculpted Ergonomic Rechargeable Keyboard for Mac offers. Serious typists will also appreciate the inclusion of an illuminated Caps Lock indicator. The removable (attaches magnetically) padded palm support uses genuine tree rubber for an enhanced thicker and denser cushion and the included optional (also attached magnetically) Negative Tilt Bar can be used to elevate the front of the keyboard to create an ergonomic negative slope that can aid in reducing wrist extension. However, because this elevates the keyboard, typists need to ensure that they are able to adjust the keyboard position to an appropriate height or they may actually be moving to a "less" ergonomic position when attaching this accessory.

The Sculpted Ergonomic Rechargeable Keyboard for Mac can connect either as a wireless device (using either of the included USB-A or USB-C receivers), or as a wired device by employing the USB-C charging cord which doubles as a data cable. When in wireless mode it employs Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-128) technology, designed to help protect sensitive data by encrypting keystrokes. The included USB receivers are also replaceable should either (or both) be lost (unlike the discontinued Microsoft product), saving the hassle of a costly keyboard replacement.
Those working in a PC environment will want to purchase the Sculpted Ergonomic Rechargeable Keyboard for PC.

Note: Both the Matias Wireless USB-C Mouse and Wireless USB-C Pro Mouse can be connected simultaneously with the keyboard, using the same USB-C receiver, thus requiring just a single port.

Disponible en anglais et en français, le Sculpted Ergonomic Rechargeable Keyboard for Mac de Matias reprend de nombreuses caractéristiques du Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard (discontinué). Il combine la même disposition familière, style et ergonomie très similaires, avec des interuputeurs à ciseaux Matias de style comme ordinateur portable, chiclet. Les fonctionnalités sont également améliorées grâce à l'ajout d'un pavé numérique intégré, ce qui fait de ce clavier un véritable modèle compact. Les gens plus orientés vers la performance et qui veulent personnaliser leur clavier apprécieront les capacités complètes de programmation on-board et sans pilote que le Sculpted Ergonomic Rechargeable Keyboard for Mac offre. Les gens qui font beaucoup de dactylo apprécieront également l'indicateur lumineux du Caps Lock. Le support de paume rembourré, qui peut être enlever (fixé magnétiquement), utilise du caoutchouc d'arbre véritable pour un coussin plus épais et plus dense. La barre d'inclinaison négative optionnelle qui est inclus (également fixée magnétiquement) peut être utilisée pour élever l'avant du clavier afin de créer une inclinaison négative ergonomique qui peut aider à réduire l'extension du poignet. Cependant, comme cet accessoire élève le clavier, les gens doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en mesure de régler la position du clavier à une hauteur appropriée, sinon ils risquent d'adopter une position "moins" ergonomique lorsqu'ils fixent cet accessoire.

Le Sculpted Ergonomic Rechargeable Keyboard for Mac peut se connecter soit en tant qu'appareil sans fil (à l'aide des clés USB-A ou USB-C qui sont inclus), soit en tant qu'appareil avec fil en utilisant le câble de charge USB-C, qui est également la câble de data. En mode sans fil, il utilise la technologie Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-128), conçue pour protéger les données sensibles en dactylo cryptées. Les clés USB inclus sont également remplaçables en cas de perte de l'un ou l'autre (ou des deux) (contrairement au produit discontinué de Microsoft), ce qui permet d'éviter les ennuis liés au remplacement coûteux du clavier.

Veuillez noter: Les deux souris Matias Wireless USB-C Mouse et la Wireless USB-C Pro Mouse peuvent être connectées simultanément avec le clavier, en utilisant le même récepteur USB-C, nécessitant ainsi qu'un seul port.

The X-keys XBE-24 Keypad from PI Engineering is a robust programmable keypad that lets individuals customize their input by mapping complex macros, specialized commands, and shortcuts to a single key. The keypad can be programmed in two ways. In software mode the programming software stores the program on the host computer, ideal for situations where revisions to the programming may be required. In hardware mode the programming is written to the internal memory and the device can be pre-programmed and then deployed to any computer that accepts USB keyboard input.

The XBE-24 Keypad can be programmed in 2 distinct layers with 46 programmable functions and serve as addition or substitution to the standard USB keyboard.

Clear key lenses keep printed or handwritten legends securely in place and protect them from wear while making it quick and easy to update them. XBE-24 keypads are also equipped with fully addressable RGB backlighting (both colour and intensity), and have two separately programmable LEDs per switch.

The Free MacroWorks 3 (MW3) Software for Windows provides simple programming for launching applications, opening files or accessing directories. It also facilitates the insertion of special characters, foreign language letters and symbols as Unicode text strings which can then be assigned to any key. MacroWorks 3 can be used to program the keypad in hardware mode for deployment on Mac computers. Mac users also have the option of the basic X-Keys Mac App or the third party Keyboard Maestro software. PI Engineering's new PI3 firmware offers new capabilities to the developer including flash updates, a joystick / mouse emulation and the newly developed Reflector Mode. Reflector Mode allows the developer to send outbound messages to the X-keys which can be reflected back to the Operating System in keyboard, mouse or joystick data stream.

XBE-24 Keypads are designed for survival in rough environments with a machined aluminum housing. The robust design makes these equally suitable for deployment in office or industrial settings. The base is angled to offer enhanced viewing in landscape mode and the backlighting also makes them ideal where lighting levels are low.

The Advantage360 PRO Contoured Keyboard from Kinesis 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 optional 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 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 is available equipped with either Tactile or Linear keyswitches. The Gateron Brown low-force tactile mechanical keyswitches have an activation force of 45 grams and a maximum force of 55 grams. These responsive switches offer the tactile feedback that is necessary for intense and rapid data entry. The Advantage360 Pro Linear Quiet model employs Kailh Box Pink low-force Linear Quiet mechanical keyswitches with a low activation force of just 35 grams. These switches offer light activation but no activation indicator. In order to take full advantage of the global white backlighting on the PRO models they are equipped with shine-through ABS plastic keycaps. Those who are willing to sacrifice the shine-through feature for higher quality PBT keycaps can purchase optional QWERTY, DVORAK and Blank sets of opaque PBT keycaps.
*(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).

The XK-80 Programmable Keyboard uses the latest MacroWorks 3.1 software and standard Xkeys functions to yield easily customizable layouts, programming options, and legending for whatever features required. This unit has 80 relegendable keys, blue and red backlighting for each addressable key, hardware mode supporting keyboard, mouse, and joystick emulation, and more.

This device can send keystrokes to any operating system or application which recognizes a USB keyboard. X-keys XK-80 has internal memory which allows a user to program the Keyboard on one computer and retain that programming, so that the custom layout is recognized as Plug and Play on other computers. Clear key lenses keep printed or hand written legends securely in place and protect them from wear while making it quick and easy to update them. Red and blue backlighting with adjustable intensity and detachable feet under the housing improve the visibility and viewing angle of the key legends.

MacroWorks 3.1 (MW3) Software provides simple programming for launching applications, opening files or accessing directories. It allows the user to insert special characters, foreign language letters and symbols as Unicode text strings which can then be assigned to any key. PI Engineering's new PI3 firmware offers new capabilities to the developer including flash updates, a joystick / mouse emulation and the newly developed Reflector Mode. Reflector Mode allows the developer to send outbound messages to the X-keys which can be reflected back to the Operating System in keyboard, mouse or joystick data stream.

Note: This model is identical to the XK-60 model but does not have 20 key blockers permanently installed.

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.
