The Goldtouch Fully Adjustable Ergonomic Keyboard

State of the Art Ergonomics
The Goldtouch fully adjustable ergonomic keyboard available from Keytools sets new standards of health and comfort in the workplace. The knowledge gleaned from extensive ergonomic studies has been used to achieve the best possible fit with individual user preferences.  This is one of the most comfortable keyboards you will ever use.

Reduce Strain and Increase Comfort
The Ergonomic Keyboard promotes the natural positioning of the user’s arms and hands, thus making for fatigue-free operation. Three supplementary keys enable Windows functions to be called up conveniently and rapidly. Splitting the alphanumeric keypad into two halves, angled at up to 30° to each other, plus the lateral pitch of up to 16° and a front-to-back inclination of either 6° or 12°, allow the hands to fall into a natural posture, thus reducing strain on the hand-arm-shoulder system.

Optimum Support
The matching wrist pad provides optimum support; even where a large lateral angle is used.

The Law
The health and safety at Work Act requires an assessment of every workstation ensuring the equipment does not adversely affect employees health

Your health
A touch typist working at 60wpm, will perform 65,000 keystrokes in 3 hours.

Your livelihood
Prevention is very simple, cures can be very difficult.  If using a computer is your living, it makes sense to protect yourself.
