One of the most versatile keyboards currently manufactured, the Freestyle2 is an adjustable, separated keyboard offering considerable ergonomic benefits. The Freestyle2 Keyboard is divided into two separate modules connected by either a 9" (the most common) or 20" cable. This separation enables individuals to position the left and right sides of the keyboard shoulder width apart, allowing the shoulders, elbows, arms and wrists to relax in an anatomically neutral position. This greatly improves posture and blood flow in the upper body, prevents undesirable rotation at the shoulders, and eliminates ulnar deviation at the wrist.
The compact symmetrical layout is achieved by removing the numeric keypad found on the right side of most keyboards. This reduces the reach for the mouse for right-handed individuals and optimizes the workspace for everyone. The Freestyle2 Keyboard provides access to numbers along the top row, as well as via an easily toggled numeric layer embedded into the right-hand module. (Please see the Numeric Keypads category for external numeric keypads that are compatible with the Freestyle2 Keyboard.)
The Freestyle2 Keyboard features low-force, tactile membrane keyswitches. At only 45 grams, this is at least 25% less force than most traditional and even many other ergonomic keyboards. Rated at 10 million actuations, the keyswitches on the Freestyle2 will provide years of quiet, comfortable typing.
Note: The Freestyle2 Keyboard comes with a component that secures the two modules together at a pivot point. Although this Pivot Tether is intended primarily to secure the two modules during transport, it can be used, to create a splayed (i.e. joined at the centre top) keyboard. However, this configuration will significantly limit the ergonomic benefits.
Both US English and French Canadian Dual-Legended (i.e. bilingual) models are available.
The Freestyle2 Keyboard can also be further customized with one or more Accessory Kits. (Note: Accessory Kits sold separately. See Detailed Specifications for more information.) With the addition of the appropriate Accessory Kit, this already highly configurable keyboard can be customized to provide even more ergonomic benefits.
Le plus polyvalent de tout les claviers fabriqués au courant, le Freestyle2 est un clavier ajustable et séparé qui offre des avantages considérables de l`ergonomie sans sacrifier la productivité. Le Freestyle2 est divisé en deux modules/morceaux séparés. Les deux morceaux sont attachés avec 9 pouces de câble (le plus commun), et est aussi disponible en modèl avec 20 pouces. La séparation permet l`utilisateur de mettre le côté gauche et le côté droite du clavier de la largeur des épaules, qui permet les épaules, les coudes, les bras et les poignets d`être relax dans une position anatomique et neutre. Cela améliore la posture considérablement aussi que la circulation sanguine dans le haut du corps, prévente la rotation des épaules indésirable, et élimine la déviation ulnaire dans les poignets.
Le concept compact, symétrique (atteidre par éliminer le pavé numérique qui est typiquement sur les claviers standards) réduit la nécessité de s`étendre pour chercher la souris pour l`utilisateur de main gaucher et droitier. Le clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard fournis l'accès aux numéros sur la première ligne en haut du clavier, aussi que par un pavé numérique intégré dans le module/morceau du côté droite basculer façilement. (Voir la catégorie des Numeric Keypads pour les pavé numériques externes qui sont compatible avec le clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard.)
Une caractéristique du clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard est des interrupteurs de type membrane sensible avec clic audible tranquille. A seulement 45 gramms, cela est au moins 25% de force moin que sur les claviers standard et même beaucoup de claviers ergonomiques. Évalué à 10 million activations, les interrupteurs sur le clavier Freestyle2 vont pouvoir offrire des années de dactylo plus agréable et tranquille.
Veuillez Noter: Le clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard vient avec un morceau pivot qui sécure les deux moitiés du clavier ensemble. Même si l`accessoire Pivot Tether est crée principalement pour sécure les deux moitiés du clavier ensemble durant le transport, il peut être utilisé pour créer un clavier ébrasé (relier en haut du clavier, au centre). Par contre, cela réduit considérablement les avantages ergonomique.
Le clavier Freestyle2 peut être personnalisé plus loin avec un ou plus des Accessory Kits. (Veuillez Noter: Les Accessory Kits sont vendu séparément. Voir Detailed Specifications pour plus d`information.) Avec l`addition du Accessory Kit approprier, ce clavier, qui est déja très configurable, peut être personnalisé pour offrire plus d`avantages ergonomiques.

The Mini Quiet Pro keyboard by Matias is a high-performance compact keyboard for desktop (i.e. non-portable) applications. Featuring a standard layout of all but a couple of keys and standard key spacing, the Mini Quiet Pro eliminates two issues found in many compact keyboards. First, the standard spacing and layout significantly flatten any learning curve, all but guaranteeing rapid adaptation to the compact design. Second, an embedded numeric keypad provides full functionality while still preserving the clear ergonomic benefit of a reduced reach for the mouse.
The Matias Mini Quiet Pro features mechanical keyswitches that use Matias Quiet Click technology. These keyswitches provide superior tactile feedback and are high-performance, accommodating the faster typing speeds associated with mechanical keyboards but without the typical "click - clack" sound. These mechanical keyswitches are durable and rated at 50 million activations. The keys have a full travel distance of 3.5 mm, and sculpted (i.e. concave) keycap tops to ensure keying accuracy. The keycap legends are laser etched and will not wear off even with intense use.
Bonus features include a 3-port high-speed USB 2.0 hub, and Anti-Ghosting circuitry that accommodates the highest typing speeds without the dropping of characters that can occur with less-quality keyboards.
Available in both English and French Bilingual Layouts, the Mini Quiet Pro is available only for PC. Similar keyboards for the Mac include the Laptop Pro Keyboard (Bluetooth) with Mac-friendly function keys, or the corded Mini Tactile Pro. The Programmable Ergo Pro Keyboard offers the additional ergonomic benefits of a split keyboard.
Le Mini Quiet Pro par Matias offre la performance excellente pour un clavier compact pour l'application du bureau (en fait, pas portable). Avec une disposition standard de toutes les touches, à l'exception de quelques unes, et un espacement standard des touches, le Mini Quiet Pro élimine deux problèmes que l'on trouve dans de nombreux claviers compacts. Tout d'abord, l'espacement et la disposition standard réduisent considérablement la courbe d'apprentissage, garantissant ainsi une adaptation rapide au concept compact. Deuxièmement, un pavé numérique intégré offre une fonctionnalité complète tout en préservant l'avantage ergonomique évident qui réduit considérablement le mouvement de s'éteindre pour la souris.
Le Matias Mini Quiet Pro utilise des interrupteurs mécaniques avec la technologie de Matias "Quiet Click." Ces interrupteurs offrent la tactilité supérieur et de haute performance du vitesse du dactylographie associé avec les claviers mécaniques mais sans le bruit tradionnel du 'click et clack'. Ces interrupteurs mécaniques sont durable, et sont évalués a 50 millions frappes. Les touches sont de course longue de 3.5 mm et le dessus des capuchons sont sculptés (y compris, concave) pour améliorer le positionnement et du dactylographie précis. Le légende sur les capuchons des clés est gravé au laser a l'intérieur pour que les lettres et les chiffres ne s'effacent pas, même durant l'usage intensive.
De plus, il y a un concentrateur USB 2.0 de 3 ports a haute vitesse et des circuits électriques anti-fantôme spéciaux (special Anti-Ghosting circuitry), qui va bien avec la dactylographie de haute vitesse sans avoir peur que les caractères se fait supprimés qui peut arriver avec les claviers de moin bonne qualités.
Le Mini Quiet Pro est disponible seulement pour PC, mais en deux modèles, Anglais et Français.

With its left and right halves connected by an articulating ball joint, the Goldtouch V2 Adjustable Keyboard by Key Ovation is designed to help aid individuals in preventing or addressing soft tissue injuries that can arise from pronation, ulnar deviation, or wrist extension. The two halves of the keyboard can be configured to tent up to 30° along the centre, allowing typing with the palms slightly facing each other at an anatomically neutral angle; to splay up to 33° outwards, allowing the hands, wrists and shoulders to be positioned for optimal posture; or to both tent and splay. The compact design, achieved by the elimination of a built-in numeric keypad, also helps to prevent strain in the shoulder and neck muscles that can be caused by overreaching for the mouse.
The Goldtouch V2 Adjustable Keyboard has rubberized feet and edges to prevent slippage on the worksurface whether flat or tented and hot keys for quick access to both the internet and multimedia controls.
There are 3 models of the Goldtouch V2 keyboard currently available. The GTN-0099 is legended in US English exclusively for PC, is native USB and comes with a USB to PS/2 adapter. The GTN99-FC is the same interface but is solely legended for the "Canadian French" uni-lingual layout (not "Canadian Multi-Lingual") in Windows. The GTU-0088 is USB and compatible with both PC and Macs, and legended for both (Mac legending is in gold in the bottom third of the keycaps).
Warning: Those who use the Goldtouch Numeric Keypad for PC or Mac with a Goldtouch V2 Adjustable Keyboard should be certain to plug the keyboard directly into the computer, or into an external USB hub. Connecting a keyboard to the computer via any of the ports on the Goldtouch Numeric Keypad can cause both devices to malfunction.
Note: See Usage Tips on the Detailed Specifications page for a comparison of the differences between the earlier version of the Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard and the Goldtouch V2.
La largeur du V2 est plus grande(16.25" large comparer a 15.25" sur le modèl moin récent) avec des côtés caoutchoutés pour amiliorer la stabilité du clavier pendant la tente. Il utilise les touches qui ont une distance de dépression plus léger significante (4 mm), interrupteur à clé calculé a 40-45 grams qui vous donne une sensation tactile moin 'crisp' que le modèl moin récent. Les angles d`ébrase et la tente ont aussi changer sure le modèl V2- la tente maximum est 21°, et l`ébrasse maximum est 33°. Cependant, après avoir fait la tente plus de 10°, l`ébrasse maximum continue a réduire en ajoutant plus de tente.
Les modifications de la disposition inclus les clés Shift et Ctrl du côté droit, aussi que le clé Caps Lock, on été réduit en grandeurs, et les clés Insert et Delete sont maintenant plus large et sont du côter droit en haut du clavier. Les space bars sont maintenant rectangulaires sans courbe, et, comme conséquance, sont plus minces. Et finalement, des nouveau "hot keys" pour l'internèt et controles multimedia, accèsible par composer et tenir (example, shift access) le clé FN qui est situer en bas du côté gauche du clavier.
NOTE IMPORTANTE DU COMPATIBILITÉ: Le clavier Goldtouch V2 n`est pas compatible avec la plus part des pavé numériques autonome car la touche NumLock est utiliser par le pavé numérique intégré. Par conséquent, en utilisant la touche NumLock pour accèder aux chiffres du pavé numérique séparer, le pavé numérique intégré dans le clavier va aussi ce faire activé (en fait, perdre accès au lettres). Les pavé numériques qui fonctionne bien avec ce clavier seron le pavé numérique Goldtouch (GTC-0033), le pavé numérique Low Force Tactile par Kinesis (AC210USB-BLK), et la plus part des pavé numériques de PI Engineering XKeys.

Inspired by the Apple design philosophy, the Matias Wired Aluminum Keyboard is for individuals who miss the Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. It incorporates all of the key design elements Mac owners are familiar with; a silver aluminum case with white keycaps, a 2 port USB 2.0 hub, all the special Mac functions that were on the (now discontinued) Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and a hard wired connection via a USB cable (included USB-A to USB-C adapter provides multi-generational compatibility). It is also available with a Space Grey housing and Black keycaps. Both colour combinations are also available with French Canadian legends.
This Matias product also includes some notable improvements, such as high quality Matias scissor switches to provide a satisfying typing experience despite the slim design. It also adds a high precision volume control dial with 64 levels on the top edge of the keyboard offering advanced control for those who desire more accurate volume control than the 16 settings provided through the traditional volume up and down keys. When intense numeric data entry is required, the dedicated numeric keypad provides full functionality. And with a nominal weight of just 1.2 lbs and a one meter (3.25 foot) USB cable, the Wired Aluminum Keyboard is also highly portable.
The Matias Wired Aluminum Keyboard is compatible with Mac OS X all the way back to Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
If function is important but cost is a factor the Wired Keyboard for Mac offers the same features and functionality but in a more economical plastic housing.
Inspiré par la philosophie de conception de Apple, le clavier Matias Wired Aluminum Keyboard est pour les individus qui manquent le clavier Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. Il a tous les éléments de conception importants et familiers; un boîtier en aluminium argenté avec des touches blanches, un concentrateur USB 2.0 à 2 ports, toutes les fonctions spéciales de Mac qui étaient sur le clavier Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (qui est maintenant discontinuer), et une connection hard wired avec câble USB. Il est également disponible avec un boîtier gris spatial et des touches noires. Les deux combinaisons de couleurs sont également disponibles avec des légendes canadiennes françaises.
Parmi les améliorations apportées à ce produit Matias, sont les interrupteurs à ciseaux Matias offrant une expérience satisfaisante pour la dactylo avec un clavier mince. Matias a également ajouté un cadran (dial) pour le contrôle de volume qui est de haute précision avec 64 niveaux sur le bord supérieur du clavier pour ceux qui souhaitent un contrôle du volume plus précis que les 16 paramètres fournis par les clés traditionnelles de volume haut et bas. Pour les dévoreurs de chiffres, un pavé numérique offre la fonctionnalité complète. Et avec un poids de seulement 1.2 livres et un câble USB d'une metre (3.25`), le Wired Aluminum Keyboard est aussi extêmement portable/mobile.
Le Matias Wired Aluminum Keyboard est compatible avec Mac OS X jusqu'au Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Si la fonction est importante mais que le coût est un facteur, le Wired Keyboard for Mac offre les mêmes fonctions mais dans un boîtier général en plastique plus économique.

The Mini Keyboard from Solidtek offers a very narrow footprint of just 11.3" that serves well where space is extremely limited or where the reach to the mouse needs to be significantly reduced. It achieves this by eliminating the traditional numeric keypad and replacing it with an embedded numeric keypad with legends clearly marked on the front face of the keycaps. This embedded keypad is located in the right half of the keyboard, with function accessed via the FN key. To make the keyboard even more compact, only the alpha-numeric keys are full-size and standard 19.4 mm spacing. The remainder of the keys are significantly narrower, with just 14 mm spacing which can make accurate targeting more difficult, especially for those with larger fingers.
The Mini Keyboard employs membrane keyswitches with a shorter-than-average travel distance (3 mm instead of the standard 4 mm) and has a somewhat pronounced positive incline (i.e. it is higher at the back than at the front), in spite of the comparatively low profile it presents. In general, a neutral (flat), or negative incline is advisable for those experiencing pain in the backs of the hands, wrists, or forearms. A low cushion such as the SAMA Palm Support can be used to help offset some of the positive incline.
The Mini Keyboard is available in models with the standard US English layout as well as a unilingual French Canadian legended version (note that this is NOT bilingual).
If you still wish to have a separate numeric keypad for occasional use the USB Scissor-Switch Membrane Numeric Keypad is a very economical add-on accessory.
Le clavier Solidtek Mini Keyboard est un clavier petit et économique avec de nombreuses touches de taille réduite. Bien qu'il utilise un interrupteur à membrane, la distance de déplacement de la clé est plus courte que la normale (3 mm au lieu des 4 mm standard). Toutes les touches autres que les lettres (a-z) et les nombres (1-0) sont considérablement plus petites que les claviers conventionnels. Le clavier a un pavé numérique intégré de 20 touches qui est indiqué par les légendes devant les touches (au bas). Il y a aussi un modèle unilingue français canadien (notez que ce n'est pas bilingue).
Veuillez noter: Ce clavier a une inclinaison positive significative, malgré son profil relativement bas (c'est-à-dire qu'il est plus haut à l'arrière qu'à l'avant). En général, une inclinaison neutre (plate) ou négative est recommandée pour ceux qui éprouvent de la douleur à l'arrière des mains, des poignets ou des avant-bras.

The Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop from Microsoft combines the wireless Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard with a low profile numeric keypad and the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, all connecting through a single wireless 2.4 GHz mini receiver. The wireless keyboard features Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technology, designed to help protect information by encrypting keystrokes. Each keyboard set is permanently paired with its receiver at the factory. Note: This means that if the receiver is lost or damaged, there is no way to replace it - the keyboard, mouse and numeric keypad will no longer function.
The Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard is equipped with low-travel scissor switches that have a higher "return to neutral" or "bounce-back" rate than most laptop style keyboards, providing clear tactile feedback. The response is evenly consistent across all keys with the exception of the F-Key "button keys" (see below). The keycaps feature a slightly concave surface to aid in finger positioning as well as a subtle crowning that provides more distinction between keys than many current scissor switch keyboards. However, the varying size of the keys, a feature which serves no ergonomic purpose, may prove frustrating to those accustomed to a standard layout. In addition, the F-Key "buttons" have a lower profile, are only about 40% the height of a standard keycap, and use a high-force membrane switch. Although these keys do support secondary functions such as multimedia, the secondary functions can only be accessed by switching between Standard mode and Alternate function mode. This is accomplished by a slide switch in the upper right corner of the keyboard. The absence of a FN key means that the quick access to secondary functions that is available on most keyboards is not an option.
The Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard ships with an optional magnetically-attached riser that 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 the riser.
The included Sculpt Mouse, for right-handed use only, includes a Windows button for quick access to the Start Screen, and its four-way scroll wheel allows for easy navigating up, down, left, or right. The rounded design angles the hand outward to reduce pronation of the forearm with the body of the mouse serving as a support for the fingers to naturally curl over. The BlueTrack sensor technology works on virtually any surface, making it the ideal device for traveling. A slot in the underside of the mouse provides storage for the mini receiver that provides the wireless connection for all three devices.
This package also includes a convenient low profile numeric keypad, under 0.5" in height, and that can be positioned anywhere as desired. The convenient "calculator" button facilitates quick switching between data entry and the onscreen Windows calculator.
Note: Those who find glare and reflection less than desirable or who do not like fingerprints may not appreciate the housings, all of which have a high gloss or sheen.
Le Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop de Microsoft combine le Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard sans fil avec un pavé numérique à profil bas et la Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, le tout étant relié par un seul mini clé USB sans fil de 2,4 GHz. Le clavier sans fil est doté de la technologie AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), conçue pour aider à protéger les informations en cryptant les frappes au clavier. Chaque clé USB sans fil (une clé pour faire fonctionner les trois produits, clavier, pavé numérique, et souris) sont apparié de façon permanente aux manufacteur.
Veuillez noter: Cela signifie que si la clé USB est perdu ou endommagé, il n'y a aucun moyen de le remplacer - le clavier, la souris et le pavé numérique ne fonctionneront plus.
Le Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard est équipé d'interrupteurs en ciseaux à course bas qui sont évaluer d'avoir un "retour au neutre" ou de "rebond" plus élevé que la plupart des claviers d'ordinateurs portables, offrant ainsi un retour tactile clair. La réponse est constant sur toutes les touches, à l'exception des "F-Keys" (voir ci-dessous). Les capuchons des touches présentent une surface légèrement concave pour faciliter le positionnement des doigts, ainsi qu'un couronnement légère qui permet de mieux distinguer les touches que la plupart des claviers à ciseaux présent. Par contre, la taille variable des touches, une caractéristique qui ne sert aucun objectif ergonomique, va peut-être frustrer ceux qui sont habitués à une disposition standard. Également, les "F-Keys" ont un profil plus bas, ne font que 40% de la hauteur d'un capuchon de touche standard et utilisent un interrupteur à membrane haute force. Bien que ces touches prennent en charge des fonctions secondaires telles que le multimédia, il n'est possible d'accéder à ces fonctions qu'en passant du mode Standard au mode Alternatif. Cette opération s'effectue au moyen d'un side switch situé dans le coin droit du haut du clavier. L'absence d'une touche FN signifie que l'accès rapide aux fonctions secondaires, disponible sur la plupart des claviers, n'est pas une option.
Le Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard est livré avec un élévateur optionnel à fixation magnétique qui peut être utilisé pour élever l'avant du clavier afin de créer une pente négative ergonomique qui peut aider à réduire l'extension du poignet. Par contre, étant donné que cet accessoire surélève le clavier, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer d'être en mesure de régler la position du clavier à une hauteur appropriée, sinon cela pose un risque de passer à une position moins ergonomique en fixant l'élévateur.
La Sculpt Mouse (incluse), pour droitiers seulement, contient un bouton Windows pour un accès rapide au Start Screen, et sa roulette de défilement à quatre directions permet de naviguer facilement vers le haut, le bas, la gauche ou la droite. Sa conception arrondi oriente la main vers l'extérieur pour réduire la pronation de l'avant-bras, et agit comme un support pour que les doigts puissent s'enrouler naturellement. La technologie du capteur BlueTrack fonctionne sur pratiquement toutes les surfaces, ce qui en fait la souris idéal pour les voyages. Un comportiment situé sous la souris permet de ranger le mini clé USB qui assure la connexion sans fil des trois appareils.
Cet ensemble comprend également un pavé numérique à profil bas, d'une hauteur de moins de 0.5po, qui peut être placé n'importe où. La touche "calculatrice", très pratique, permet de basculer rapidement entre la saisie de données et la calculatrice Windows à l'écran.
Veuillez noter: Les personnes qui ne veulent pas l'éblouissement et les reflets ou qui n'aiment pas les empreintes des doigts risquent de ne pas apprécier les boîtiers, qui sont tous très brillants ou lustrés.

Replaced by the improved Freestyle2 Keyboard, the Freestyle Solo led the way in versatility of design and function. The low-profile keyboard was divided into two separate parts or modules, which were connected by an 8 inch cable. This modular design allowed individuals to configure the keyboard in an optimal orientation, either by splaying the modules at any angle or by adjusting the distance between the modules up to 8 inches. Different accessory kits offered additional keyboard configurations, including tenting the modules at set angles of elevation. The standard Freestyle Solo model was equipped with an 8 inch separation cable and was legended in English, but other models were also available, such as one offering a 20" separation cable, or one having a tri-color French Canadian bilingual legended layout.
ACCESSORY KITS
The VIP Accessory Kit for the Freestyle Solo allowed the user to create adjustable lateral sloping or tenting of the keyboard modules at 10° or 15°. Palm supports were included with this kit and installed with the tenting mechanisms. If a tenting mechanism without integrated palm supports was desired the V3 Accessory Kit was available, offering tenting of 5°, 10° and 15°, since it was not possible to use palm supports with the V3.
The more specialized Ascent Accessory Kit provided two multi-angle tenting modules which attached to the underside of the two keying modules. A linking plate could be used to connect the two tenting modules if desired. Tenting angles could be independently set for each tenting module in the range of 20° to 90°, in 10° increments. Left or right separation was limited only by the length of the keyboard's linking cable. The standard 8" separation cable was suitable for low elevations or minimal separation but the 20" linking cable was generally recommended for greater flexibility.
If a discrete numeric keypad was required, the Low Force Tactile Numeric Keypad by Kinesis (AC210USB-BLK), equipped with a built-in USB 2 port hub. was available. For more information see our Keypads category.

Ce clavier est probablement la plus polyvalent de tout les claviers disponible dans le marché aujourd'hui. Le FreeStyle Solo est le clavier tout seul qui offre une séparation de 8 pouces et d'ébrasé variable infinit. Ce clavier vien dans un modèl standard en anglais, aussi qu'un modèl avec 20 pouces de séparation, et un modèl qui est marqué bilingue avec trois couleurs, qui est facile à lire.
En additionant l'accessoire VIP (FreeStyle VIP) au clavier Solo, vous pouriez faire un inclinasion transversale variable (10° ou 15° de tente) et ça vien avec des supports aux mains détachables (avec des coussins qui vont ensemble avec les supports). L'accessoire V3 (Freestyle V3) offre une tente de 5°, 10° et 15° et n'offre pas les supports aux mains. L'accessoire Incline (FreeStyle Incline) offre une base fixé de 10° et qui ébrase variable jusqu'à 30°.
