"It's hard to believe, but ergonomic keyboard designs that aim to alleviate repetitive motion injuries by and large ignore anatomical motions and focus solely on ergonomic postures. It's an omission TypeMatrix has finally corrected."

  Finger, hand and wrist motion:
The overlooked factor in ergonomic keyboard design.
 
 
  Standard Keyboard
Created before ergonomics was of concern, the standard keyboard forces the hand, wrists and shoulders out of alignment, causing strain and possible injury. The added length places the mouse outside the comfort zone, creating arm and shoulder strain.
  Conventional Ergonomic Keyboard
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.
  TypeMatrix Keyboard
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.
 
All this within a design that requires minimal getting used to, and results in a small, sleek and logical package that fits in a standard keyboard tray as easily as in a briefcase.
