Ergonomic Sculpted Keyboard Promotes a More Natural Hand and Wrist Posture, and Can Enhance Typing Speed and Accuracy.
LAS VEGAS – January 8, 2024 – Kensington, a worldwide leader of desktop computing and mobility solutions for IT, business, and home office professionals, today announced the launch of the Pro Fit® Ergo KB675 TKL Rechargeable Keyboard. Sculpted in design for style, comfort, and performance, the keyboard features an ergonomic sculpted layout with a TKL (tenkeyless) design that encourages proper ergonomic posture and provides better portability for use on the road.
Compatible with Windows and macOS, the keyboard includes 65% PCR material and utilizes plastic-free packaging, supporting Kensington’s dedication to sustainability. The ergonomic sculpted keyboard design positions the wrists and arms in an ergonomically correct position to promote a more natural posture to minimize strain and discomfort when utilizing the keyboard over extended periods of time. Compared to a traditional flat keyboard, the ergonomic design of the KB675 can increase productivity and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), such as carpal tunnel syndrome and other typing-related issues, which could require medical treatment or result in lost time at work.
Features and Benefits of the Pro Fit® Ergo KB675 TKL Rechargeable Keyboard
- Ergonomic design – The unique sculpted keyboard design features a slight negative tilt that creates a neutral open angle from the elbow to the keys, reducing wrist and arm stress, increasing circulation to the fingertips, and reducing pressure on the carpal tunnel area. A non-detachable wrist pad provides enhanced comfort over extended hours of use.
- Easy, secure connectivity for multiple devices – The keyboard supports secure connection with up to three devices through two lightning-fast Bluetooth connections and one 2.4GHz connection with government-grade 128-bit encryption. Swift Pair Technology eliminates pairing hassles and makes connection quick and easy.
- Customizable for enhanced productivity – Seamless integration with Kensington Konnect™ software enables customization of keyboard functions for even more versatility and convenience. The keyboard features 20 programmable keys including 12 function keys, four virtual meeting keys (quit call, mic control, camera control, share screen), and four productivity keys (calculator, screen shot, search, show desktop).
- Long battery life ensures uninterrupted productivity – A 500mAh rechargeable battery, which is conveniently charged via a USB-C® charging port, provides long battery life, and eliminates the need for disposable alkaline batteries.
- Bright LED status lights – Three RGB LED indicators provide at-a-glance status on wireless connection, battery charge level, and caps lock.
“The prolonged use of full-size traditional flat keyboards can lead to discomfort and strain in the wrists and hands, potentially causing long-term issues,” explained Lisa Schuiteboer Shuler, Manager of Product Marketing, Global Marketing at Kensington. “The ergonomic sculpted and compact design of this keyboard is designed to promote a more natural hand and wrist posture, reducing strain and discomfort during use. In addition, the sculpted key layout accommodates the natural contour of the hands which can enhance typing speed and accuracy.”
The Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo KB675 TKL Rechargeable Keyboard is covered by a three-year limited warranty and professional support and will be available in Q2 2024 in North America.
