Dual Handed 3D Keyboard
The fully ergonomic E-Type MALTRON keyboard fits the shape of hands and the different lengths of fingers to reduce movement and tension.
Features:
- Split design eliminates wrist twist and allows a central number cluster which can be used by right or left hand as preferred.
- Tilted keys and pads minimise palms downward movement (Pronation) to further reduce muscle tension.
- Straight vertical key columns eliminate tens of thousands of finger and wrist twists in a day's work.
- Thumb keys for Cursors, Return or Enter, Space, Backspace and other frequently used keys reduce hand and arm movement. Versatile thumbs are used far more effectively.
- Built in large palm resting pads allow immediate hand and arm relaxation during "Thinking Time", and promote a reduction in arm rotation.
- Shift Lock as well as Caps and Num Locks provides more options.
The MALTRON letter layout:
The advanced MALTRON letter layout is available at the touch of a special key.
The most used letters are on the centre (Home) row reducing finger movement and learning time.
Operators who have been badly hurt by the flat keyboard often prefer to learn the MALTRON layout when adapting to the new shape and confirm its easier use. Key caps are fitted to suit either layout, or may be dually designated as an option.
Please Note: We do NOT recommend resting the palms when typing as this restricts the small amount of hand movement needed for smooth typing. But for small pauses or 'thinking time', as noted above, the palms should be immediately dropped onto the rests and all arm muscles relaxed completely. By doing this, sustained strain is avoided, muscles and nerves receive a better blood flow and RSI type problems do not develop, indeed, as noted in user reports, recovery can be achieved.
The stress relieving design of MALTRON keyboards has already enabled hundreds of RSI or CTS (Repetitive Strain Injury or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) sufferers to return to work with career prospects recovered. The new combination in the MALTRON Trackball Keyboard can be a significant step in overcoming problems from mice as well.
