Ergonomic keyboards from Maltron
are designed to prevent keyboardinduced
RSI and enable those stricken
by the crippling condition to return
to full-time work. The latest addition
to the Maltron
range of
specialist
keyboards is the
flat Finger
Friendly model.
It incorporates the proven features from the Maltron portfolio, such as the thumb groups to make effective use of these digits, but a flat shape to make adaptation easier.
The Finger Friendly keyboard offers keys in straight columns, but the keys of a row are set to suit the varying lengths of the specific operating fingers. Typically the column for the longest middle finger is positioned further away for easy nonstraining access by that finger. A pattern follows for all fingers on both hands. The home row is highlighted by yellow keys and clearly shows finger positions.
