J89 Letter Layout - Two-handed Maltron Keyboard.

During the last 25 years more than 2,000 keyboard users have now successfully used a standard Maltron two-handed fully-ergonomic keyboard to recover from keyboard induced pain.

The new J89 layout version updates our existing proven design with new key layouts for the Maltron "E Type" two-handed keyboard model.

Dual engraved key tops are optionally available for users who need to be able to change between the two installed layouts.

All key positions are specifically mapped in the keyboard irrespective of layout selected, no additional setup is required in the computer in order to use the keyboard.

Benefits of the Maltron Fully Ergonomic Keyboard.

• Two key groups for letters with a central number group keep wrists straight and strain free.

• Thumb groups with double height key for space and return (left return is the E with the Maltron Letter layout).  

• Central numbers suit both left & right handed users.

• The letter keys are angled inwards to match natural finger movements and the keys for the longer fingers are recessed further to reduce finger "cramping" and provide a more relaxed hand posture.

• Large palm pads give a comfortable resting and relaxing zone for hands and arms during “thinking time”, to encourage blood flow and recovery.

The MALTRON letter layout:

The advanced MALTRON letter layout is available as a primary or secondary layout on your keyboard⁽¹⁾.

The most used letters are on the centre (Home) row reducing finger movement and learning time.

Operators who have been badly hurt by the "standard" flat Qwerty 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.

1. All Maltron letter layout keyboards also contain an alternative Qwerty key place map which can be selected by the user. Trying the Maltron Letter Advantage is therefore without any additional financial cost.

The MALTRON keyboard has been shown to relieve the symptoms of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) in hundreds of cases and has enabled many RSI sufferers to resume their careers.
