Ergonomic Features
Fixed Split Design: Split design positions hands closer to shoulder-width in proper typing form to reduce ulnar deviation.
Integrated Tenting: Tenting elevates the thumb side of the hand to reduce forearm pronation caused by flat keyboards.
Integrated Palm Support: Velvety smooth, washable palm support promotes neutral typing position to reduce wrist extension.
Compact Tenkeyless Layout: Tenkeyless layout with embedded keypad results in a smaller footprint for closer mouse placement.
Negative Tilt: For those with sensitive wrists, snap on the magnetic feet for a negative typing angle. *tray recommended*
Tactile Home Row and Arrows: Find the home row and arrow keys without taking your eyes off the screen thanks to their unique sculpted shape.
Available Backlighting: Connect the keyboard via USB to illuminate the key legends for working in low light environments.
