Maltron Ergonomic Flat (2D) Keyboard - L90
Over 3,000 keyboard users have now successfully used a standard Maltron two-handed fully-ergonomic keyboard to recover from keyboard induced pain, but there have been a handful of sufferers who have declared that the Maltron 3D design is just too radical, or "unfriendly looking".
The new Maltron Flat "Finger Length Adapted", or finger friendly keyboard responds to this view, and incorporates some key features (no pun intended!) 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 3D two-handed design, the keys for the longer fingers are further away to reduce finger motion. Large palm pads give a comfortable resting and relaxing zone for hands and arms during “thinking time”, to encourage blood flow and recovery.
You will find that the Maltron 2D or "Flat" keyboard is a great compromise between conventional keyboards and the Maltron "3D" fully ergonomic models, and can be described as a true comfort keyboard. While the 3D keyboards offer the ultimate in comfort and efficiency, they do require a few weeks practice to become familiar with, while the Maltron Flat keyboard requires no special training and you will be amazed at just how comfortable and easy to use it is!.
This keyboard is available with a choice of features such as colour, key layout and PC or Apple Mac compatibility. Most options are self-explanatory but you will find helpful information below to help you choose. Of course, if you're not sure, please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to help.
