The Truly Ergonomic Keyboard (TEK) is a high-quality keyboard designed to provide an exceptionally comfortable typing experience, and is manufactured using mechanical key switches.
This model has wide Alt keys. The model 229 with standard-size Alt keys and additional Windows and menu keys can be found here.
Oh yeah...? So what's so new?
The TEK is a key upgrade from traditional keyboard designs. For over a century, keyboards have been based on the 'rows of staggered keys' arrangement introduced in typewriters in the 1860s. Improving on that, the TEK features a unique linear, non staggered, split symmetric columnar key arrangement that aligns effortlessly with the user.
OK, so how does it work?
We're glad you asked that! The TEK has been designed for comfort and developed for productivity. Its design follows the symmetric shape and neutral position of the human body. It promotes a healthier posture, helping to reduce wrist, shoulder, neck and lower back pain and strains, thus reducing the risk of work related conditions like CTS, RSI and tendonitis. Its compact design also helps reduce strain caused by stretching for the mouse. Plus, its revolutionary key layout improves typing efficiency by allowing you to become more efficient and accelerate your productivity in a comfortable and healthy manner.
Alright... What else is good about it?
Well, the TEK is manufactured using high quality gold plated mechanical key switches. These key switches feature an independent mechanism for each key. (A feature not present on conventional keyboards) They require very low force to activate, provide a gentle tactile feedback that is very kind to the user's hands and they have a life expectancy of more than 50 million keystrokes which is – more than 10 times longer than other keyboard.
Sounds good. Anything else...?
Oh yes. We'd say the main benefits of the TEK are:
- Small footprint that includes 100% of standard keys in 60% of the space, using full size keycaps in a logical and comfortable key arrangement.
- Helps keep the mouse close to the body's neutral position, reducing hand travel and stretching for the mouse, thus minimizing wrist & shoulder pain.
- Integrated high quality removable and cushioned palm-rest, firmly attached with screws for a strong build. Provides required support when needed and removing it provides an even smaller footprint.
- Linear non staggered Embedded Numeric Keypad.
- Media Control Keys to help you access and play your music and videos without the need to change applications.
- Fully programmable, allowing for uncommon and unique key configurations. You can change the logical position of any key, add logical keys, create your own custom layout and have diverse distinct layouts at the same time. The key configuration is saved internally so you can move between compatible computers without the need to install any additional software or to reprogram each time.
- Full N key Rollover (NKRO), also known as anti ghosting, where each key press is correctly detected regardless of how many other keys (up to 6 plus modifiers, restricted by USB specifications) are being pressed at the same time.
- Works with diverse Operating Systems including Windows®, OS X® and Linux®.
- Short learning curve: Most users can type at 80% of their normal speed after the first two hours, and type at full speed within two weeks of using their Truly Ergonomic Keyboard.
