Ergonomic keyboards

The Chicago-based School of Health
organisation, one of Maltron’s
largest dealers in the USA, has
placed an order for eighteen single
handed keyboards for people who
can use only their left hand, and for
eight single handed keyboards for
those who can only use their right.

These keyboards are designed
and shaped to provide the best
ergonomic arrangement of
keys for strain-free five-digit
operation. The letter layout is also
arranged to minimise successive use
of a single finger, which would slow
keying down considerably. A local
vocational rehab counsellor has even
used the single-handed keyboard to
reach a new world record rate of 85
words in a minute.
