An ergonomic keyboard is a specialized computer keyboard designed to enhance user comfort and minimize the risk of hand, wrist, or finger injuries or discomfort.

Keyboard ergonomics plays a pivotal role in office ergonomics, as many office professionals perform over 10,000 keystrokes per hour during computer use. Such repetitive movements can lead to aches and pains caused by awkward postures and the repetitive nature of traditional keyboard designs. These standard keyboards were not originally created with comfort in mind.

Compact Ergonomic Keyboards are specifically designed to address a common issue with traditional keyboards – their excessive width, which compels users to position their computer mouse at a distance from their body. This suboptimal mouse placement often forces users to abduct their shoulder (causing "winging") and reach uncomfortably to access the mouse. Such awkward work postures activate additional muscles in the neck and shoulder, potentially leading to tightness and discomfort over time.

The distinctive feature of Compact Ergonomic Keyboards is the absence of a numeric keypad or number pad, resulting in a significantly reduced length. This reduction in keyboard size allows the mouse to be brought closer to the body, eliminating the need for extended reaching. Moreover, many compact ergonomic keyboards incorporate function keys that integrate shortcuts or buttons typically absent on standard keyboards. To activate these functions, simply press the Fn key followed by the relevant function key you wish to use.

At our Australian warehouse, we offer a diverse selection of compact ergonomic keyboards, including wired, wireless, and Bluetooth models. Our wireless and Bluetooth keyboards boast impressive battery life, ranging from 8 to 12 weeks of regular use. Compact ergonomic keyboards are particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing forearm pain, as they can help alleviate discomfort over the long term.

Split Keyboards are uniquely designed with a division in the middle of the keyboard, creating two separate parts that form a V-like shape. This innovative design significantly alters the wrist and hand postures while typing. By separating the keys, split keyboards effectively eliminate wrist deviation, a common source of wrist and hand discomfort associated with traditional keyboards. Sustained wrist deviation places undue stress on the wrist bones and the muscles of the hand and forearm, often leading to aches and pain. These discomforts can extend to the elbow, where the forearm muscles connect.

Split Key Ergonomic Keyboards are available in both fixed split key configurations and adjustable split key options. While adjustable keyboards offer versatility, fixed split key arrangements are renowned for consistently achieving the optimal split key angle. For individuals experiencing wrist pain, split keyboards are an excellent choice to alleviate discomfort and promote more ergonomic typing.

Portable ergonomic keyboards are wireless computer keyboards designed to be compact and lightweight, making them ideal for travelers and on-the-go professionals.

These keyboards feature low-profile keys and a compact, flat design, making them compatible with laptops, computers, or tablets. We offer a diverse selection of portable ergonomic keyboards at our Australian warehouse, ready for quick shipment within 3-5 working days.
