Typematrix Keyboard Facts And Comparisons

Created before ergonomics was of concern, the standard keyboard forces the hand, wrists and shoulders out of alignment, causing strian and possible injury. The added length places the mouse outside the comfort zone, creating arm and shoulder strain.

While the typical ergonomic design improves position for some users, it may cause additional problems for others. Even the better, more expensive models still conform to the traditional "staggered columns" layout, a requirement left over from the typewriter era, that forces unbalanced motions that strain the fingers, hands and wrists as much as standard keyboards do.

The TypeMatrix keyboard is unique in striking the perfect balance: Matrix design that reduces the motions known to cause Repetitive Strain Injury, and intelligent rearrangement of the keys that places the hands, wrists and shoulders in a neutral position.
