The Slim Illuminated Keyboard from DSI features a compact financial layout that reduces reaching for the mouse on the right side. The low-travel scissor-switch membrane keyswitches are topped with low-profile, flat, and semi-translucent white keycaps with black legends. The keyboard illumination is generated using flat panel electro-luminescent technology to generate a dispersed sapphire illumination that is very easy on the eyes. The illumination can be turned on and off as desired.
Note: The legends are not "shine through".

The Silicone Industrial Backlit Keyboard from Solidtek features a compact financial layout with 18 mm key pitch spacing and large centered backlit shine-through legends. The result is an overall keyboard width of just 15.0". The Function Keys have smaller (10 mm) keycaps to accommodate the compact layout. The "soft touch" rubberized surface is easy on the fingers and also keeps the keyboard firmly positioned. A full numeric keypad makes this keyboard ideal for stations where primarily numeric data is being entered.

This keyboard from Solidtek is designed for use in wet or dirty environments that would quickly render traditional keyboards inoperable or greatly shorten their life expectancy. It is fully enclosed in silicone and meets IP68 standards for protection from dust and moisture. Potential applications might include manufacturing equipment data input, medical or dental environments in which equipment must be sterilized, and any location where data entry is necessary but where moisture or dirt are prevalent. Key activation provides distinct tactile feedback that may be necessary where gloves might hide more subtle response. For locations with reduced lighting the backlit shine-through keycaps can increase accuracy and speed as well as reduce eye-strain. The backlighting can be set to two intensities or be turned off as desired.

The small footprint means that this keyboard can be deployed where space is limited, while still providing full functionality. The slightly compact key pitch will still work for most individuals but the slightly closer spacing needs to be considered when determining the suitability. Keying accuracy can be ensured for those with large hands if a two-fingered typing style that eliminates the chance of overshooting the targeted keys is adopted. For these reasons this keyboard is more suitable for short bursts of data or numeric entry than for periods of extended typing, exactly the type of use that is required in keyboard unfriendly environments.

The Washable Backlit Keyboard with 2-in-1 10-key Touchpad from Solidtek offers an innovative combination of features. Despite its narrow width of just 15" this keyboard retains all functions offered on full size keyboards but goes a step further by also incorporating a large touchpad zone for cursor control and numeric entry. This means that both keyboard entry and cursor control can be accomplished within the 15" zone, making this keyboard ideal for the space constraints of dental operatories, medical offices, or any area where space is restricted. Ideal for low- (or no-) light environments, the integrated Blue LED backlighting with 10-step brightness control provides increased visibility to ensure accurate data entry. This rugged, rigid, waterproof and washable industrial keyboard features a fully sealed 100% silicone cover with an IP68 rating which also means that the keyboard can be easily washed or cleaned with soap and water or other non-petroleum based cleaners.

The touchpad surface (2.75" W x 3.75" D) to the right of the keys can quickly be toggled to function either as a cursor control device or as a numeric keypad. This feature effectively eliminates overreach by bringing the pointing device and the numeric keypad within the comfort zone. Three buttons below the touchpad zone serve as the left and right mouse buttons and the touch surface function toggle.

The keyswitches feel soft but still offer reasonable tactile response to indicate when a key has been activated. Unlike some similar keyboards, the keys have minimal rock and the vertical movement is clean. A convenient On/Off switch in the upper left corner can be used to temporarily disable all keyboard and touch surface input.

This second generation Compact Financial Scissor-Switch Membrane Keyboard from Solidtek features standard keys (both key pitch and key cap size) throughout all primary keys. The only exception to this are the function keys which are slightly narrower and only half the standard height. The discrete numeric keypad on the right-hand side is ideal for those who require it for numeric data entry.

At just 15.125" (38.4 cm) in width, this keyboard is roughly 2.75" narrower on the right side than the average conventional keyboard. This significantly reduces the overreaching that can occur when accessing a mouse on the right, while yet retaining all standard keyboard keys/functionality. The sleek housing offers a slim 0.39" profile at the front with a slight incline to 0.5" at the rear, which reduces the potential for discomfort arising at the wrists.

The keyswitches are high quality scissor-switch membrane keyswitches with comparatively long travel for this type of switch (2.8 mm), and the keycap tops are slightly concave to assist typists in maintaining finger contact.

Those who may have experience with the earlier version of this keyboard should take note that there are a couple of significant changes in the keys. The first is that the DEL key is no longer in the upper right corner, having been moved down to the right of the spacebar adjacent to the INS key. As well, the navigation keys (up, down, left, right "arrows") are now full size keys (as opposed to a half-height key as they were on the original), with the right "Shift" key slightly reduced in width to accommodate the up arrow key.

Le Compact Financial Scissor-Switch Membrane Keyboard de Solidtek à des touches de taille standard (la taille des capuchons, aussi que la distance des touches) avec un pavé numérique du côté droit. La seule exception sont les touches Fonctions et les touches fléchées. Le clavier est seulement 15.75 po (40 cm) de large, environ 2.25 po plus étroite qu`un clavier traditionnel. Ce taille plus étroite permet l`utilisateur d`avoir la souris plus proche au centre du corps, qui réduit de s`étirer.

Les interrupteurs sont de membrane ciseaux en bonne qualités et ont une course longue comparable pour ces genre d`interrupteurs (2.8 mm), et le dessus des capuchons sont sculptés légèrement.

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.

Le Compact Financial Keyboard de Solidtek a une disposition de touches de largeur réduite avec un pavé numérique dédié, ce qui le rend idéal pour les postes de travail à espace restreint. Il permet également aux utilisateurs droitiers de réduire légèrement la distance de s`étirer pour atteindre la souris. Le pavé numérique intégré élimine l'espace supplémentaire entre les touches alpha et le pavé numérique, ce qui fait le clavier un peut plus étroit. Les touches en haut du clavier (y compris la rangée de fonctions) est fournie avec des lentilles transparentes qui protègent et gardent en place et visibles les légendes personnalisées imprimées ou écrites à la main. Le clavier est USB et est disponible en noir ou blanc. Un modèle PS / 2 natif est également disponible par SEULEMENT EN COMMANDE SPÉCIALE.

The now discontinued Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard was designed for those who mouse with the right hand. It addressed the common problem of having to reach over the navigation keys and the traditional built-in numeric keypad to reach the mouse. By positioning the numeric keypad on the left side of the keyboard, and providing a single column of navigation keys on its right edge, the Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard allowed individuals to place the mouse directly in front of the right shoulder, rather than out to the side. The improved location of the mouse significantly reduced the risk of repetitive strain injuries caused by repeatedly reaching out to the side, or by pivoting at the shoulder joint.

Note: Both left- and right-handed individuals risk overreach injuries whenever they position devices in such a way that they must reach over one device to access another. Consequently, even though a left-handed numeric keypad might be considered a desirable feature by left-handed people, the major ergonomic benefits of the Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard would be lost were a left-handed individual to continue using their mouse with the left hand.

To replace the discontinued Mouse Friendly Keyboard Evoluent released the Evoluent Reduced Reach Right-Handed Keyboard. which features an almost identical layout, with the numeric keypad on the left side of the keyboard and arrow keys on the right.

Conçu pour ceux qui utilisent la souris avec la main droite, le clavier Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard répond au problème de s'étirer trop au-dessus des touches navigations et le pavé numérique traditionnel qui fait parti du clavier, pour atteindre la souris. En positionant le pavé numérique du côté gauche du clavier, et fournire une seule colonne de touches navigations au bord à la droite, le clavier Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard permet l'utilisateur de placer la souris directement devant l'épaule droite, plutôt que s'écarter trop sur le côter. L'endroit amélioré de la souris réduit considérablement le risque de blessures de tension répétitives causées par la répétition de s'étirer trop sur le côté, ou par pivoter au jointure de l`épaule.

Veuillez noter: Les deux utilisateurs, gauchers et droitiers, risquent des blessures associées avec s'étendre trop chaque fois qu'ils positionnent leur appareils dans une manière qu'ils s'éteindre trop au dessus d'un pour atteindre l'autre. Par conséquent, même si le pavé numérique gaucher peut être désirable par un utilisateur gaucher, la majorité des avantages ergonomiques du clavier Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard sont perdus si l`utilisateur continue à utiliser la souris avec la main gauche.

Une nouvelle version du clavier a été sorti par Evoluent, avec une disposition presque identique. Il s’agit du modèle numéro R3K - Evoluent Reduced Reach Right-Handed Keyboard. Il est doté d’un pavé numérique à gauche du clavier et de touches fléchées à droite, de la même disposition que le clavier Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard. Ce clavier n’est pas le même que le KB1-SB mais plutôt son remplacement par Evoluent.
