Pointing the way to pain free typing
March 1st 2011 PCD Maltron is highlighting its
finger-friendly keyboard as well as
single-hand keyboards, head/mouthstick/
single-finger keyboards and its
anti-RSI keyboards at the Safety &
Health Expo 2011.
Maltron keyboards are said to help
prevent keyboard-induced RSI and
enable those stricken by this
condition to return to full-time
work. The latest addition to the
Maltron range of keyboards is the
flat 'Finger Friendly' that
incorporates features from the
Maltron portfolio.
This finger-friendly keyboard offers
keys in straight columns but the rows
of keys are set to suit the varying
lengths of the specific operating
fingers. Typically, the column for the
longest middle finger is positioned for
non-straining access by that finger, a
pattern followed for all the fingers on
both hands. The home row is
highlighted by yellow keys.
The range includes single-handed
models that have received orders
from Korea, Poland and India, and
the mouth-stick keyboard that
Maltron believes to be the only
keyboard listed in the Office Section
of the US State Department's
catalogue of items to help people
suffering from the Explosive
Remnants of War.
