A better ergonomic keyboard. It's the product customers have been begging us to do for years — an ERGONOMIC keyboard that gives you all of the tactile feedback, greater comfort, faster typing speeds, and quiet operation of a Matias mechanical keyboard. We also think it has the best layout of all the ergonomic keyboards so far. Ergo Pro The best switches. To put it bluntly, most ergonomic keyboards “cheap out” on their keyswitches. They use rubber, instead of metal. Compromising here can ruin an otherwise good keyboard. We’ve used the BEST keyswitches for typing.
.. Matias Quiet Click mechanical switches. Their ALPS-inspired design delivers generous amounts of tactile feedback, while providing enough resistance to support the weight of your hands — exactly what you need for fast, comfortable typing. Plus, unlike every other mechanical switch, they are quiet enough to use in office environments. You don’t need to worry about disturbing your co-workers. Low Force option also available. For those who need (or prefer) typing with a lighter touch, a Low Force Edition of the Ergo Pro is also available. It uses Matias Quiet Linear switches for a smooth, low force feel.
These same switches are used in stenotype machines, capable of typing speeds upwards of 225 words per minute. A better navigation cluster. Navigation keys have always been a big problem for ergonomic keyboards. If you follow the standard, the keyboard is too wide. If you don’t follow the standard, there’s a long learning curve, and users are stuck having to suffer with an awkward, unfamiliar layout. We’ve designed a truly new and better navigation cluster — one that’s much closer to standard AND more ergonomic... plug in your USB devices We’ve arranged the navigation keys in their traditional pattern, but we laid them out horizontally, and then positioned them along the bottom row, more like a laptop keyboard.
It works beautifully, and the adjustment time is virtually zero. Try it once, and you’ll never want to go back. Narrower than most & more comfortable with a mouse. Thanks to our unique navigation cluster, the Ergo Pro is not as wide as other ergonomic keyboards. It’s not much wider than a laptop keyboard. This makes it much more comfortable to use with a mouse. Since you’re not reaching as far for it, your elbow doesn’t need to flare out at an awkward angle. 4.5 degrees of negative tilt Leg supports for tilting & tenting.
As you would expect, the Ergo Pro comes equipped with leg supports for 9° tenting and 4.5 ° negative tilt. It can also be used flat. Tenting For even greater adjustability, you can mount the two sides of the keyboard onto a pair of small tabletop tripods (any standard type). Spacious palm supports. The palm supports are big and comfortable. Plus, they can be removed, if your desk already has palm supports built-in. Ergo Pro Everything is in the box. We’ve included everything you need in the box. There’s nothing extra to buy.
You are all ready to go. BUT if you did want to add a spot of color, we have replacement palm supports available in 4 gorgeous colors. Dedicated keys for... Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste We’ve added dedicated hotkeys for the 4 most important keyboard shortcuts — undo, cut, copy, and paste. Best of all, no drivers are required. Everything works, right out of the box. 3 extra USB 2.0 ports. Some keyboards have 2 USB ports — most have none. We’re giving you three!
