Two-handed
"Conventional" Shape Maltron keyboard.
Approaching
2,000 keyboard users have now successfully used a standard Maltron
two-handed fully-ergonomic keyboard to recover from keyboard induced
pain, but there has been a handful of sufferers who have declared
that the Maltron design is just too "unfriendly looking".
The
new Maltron J model two-handed keyboard responds to this view, and
incorporates the essential features of the existing design but in
a more conventional shape. Two key groups for letters with a central
number group, as before, keep wrists straight and strain free. Central
numbers suit both left & right handers. The letter keys are angled
inwards to match natural finger movements and, as in the original
two-handed design, the keys for the longer fingers are further away
to reduce finger motion and provide small therapeutic actions.
Large
palm pads give a comfortable resting and relaxing zone for hands and
arms during "thinking time", to encourage blood flow and
recovery.
