Laptop Pro Keyboard

The Matias Laptop Pro Keyboard combines the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity with the performance of quality mechanical keyswitches and the ergonomics of a compact design. And full size, full travel keys with standard key pitch all but eliminate adaptation time.

The Laptop Pro is equipped with Quiet Click mechanical keyswitches, custom-designed by Matias to provide the speed, comfort and tactile feedback of a mechanical keyboard, without the typical "click - clack" sound. These quality mechanical keyswitches are rated at 50 million keystrokes and offer high resistance to dust and debris. The keys have a full travel distance of 3.5 mm, and sculpted (i.e. concave) keycap tops to ensure keying accuracy. The keycap legends are also laser etched and will not wear off even with intense use. Optional characters are also clearly marked on the keycaps, with the position indicating the necessary keystroke combination.

The Bluetooth interface makes it easy to use with any bluetooth enabled device, and the reduced form factor makes it more portable than traditional full-size keyboards. Designed for use with Apple devices, Mac friendly function keys ensure full access to features on Macs, iPads, IPhones, iPod Touches and Apple TVs...but it will also work with Bluetooth-enabled PCs, Android smartphones and tablets, and other devices. A large 1600 mAh rechargeable lithinum-ion battery can provide 6-12 months of "always-on" power.

The Laptop Pro includes Anti-Ghosting circuitry that accommodates the highest typing speeds without the dropping of characters that can occur with lesser-quality keyboards and USB charging ports on the keyboard allow you to simultaneously charge the keyboard and up to 2 additional USB devices.

• Bluetooth Connection: The Laptop Pro keyboard can function with most Bluetooth-equipped devices, including Apple, Android or others.
• Long Life Lithium Battery: Wireless freedom with the reliability of a cord! The 1600 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery can provide 6-12 months of "always on" functionality. Once paired it remains active and connected, never going to sleep. In straight standby mode it can last up to 2 years.
• Matias Quiet Click Mechanical Keyswitches: Custom-engineered by Matias, these durable mechanical keyswitches are quiet enough to use in an office environment, and are almost as quiet as conventional rubber dome keyboards. However, they still provide the tactility and high performance demanded by experienced, proficient typists.
• Full Size Sculpted Keycaps with Standard Spacing and 3.5 mm Key Travel Distance: Standard sized sculpted (concave) keycaps, standard key pitch (the spacing between key caps) and 3.5 mm key travel (how far the key moves up and down) results in no learning curve when transferring keyboarding skills to this keyboard. On most compact keyboards, the function row (F1-F12), directional arrow, and modifier keys (ALT/CTRL/SHIFT) are usually narrower than standard resulting in keying errors and frustration. This is not the case on this keyboard where all standard keys preserve all touch typing skills previously acquired.
• Compact Footprint: At just 13.26" wide, the Laptop Pro Keyboard presents a very small footprint, greatly reduced reaching to the mouse zone.
• Effectively Neutral Profile: The effectively neutral profile ensures that the alpha rows are not positively inclined, and the numeric and function row is only nominally higher. This distinguishes the Laptop Pro from most keyboards which have a clearly positive profile resulting in the function row being significantly higher than the bottom row on the keyboard (even when the legs at the back are not deployed).
• Concave Arc Keycap Inclination: The inclination of the keycap tops follows a very shallow "concave" arc, improving tactility for the letter rows by maximizing finger pad contact on the keycaps, and reducing reach for the upper rows (number and function row).
• Simultaneous Charging for the Keyboard and up to 2 Additional Devices: To charge only the keyboard, a computer USB port provides sufficient power (500mA or 2.5W). It takes up to 5 hours for a complete charge.
  For charging multiple devices, you need more power. Apple’s 5W USB Power Adaptor gives you enough power to charge one extra device. Apple’s 12W USB Power Adaptor or a generic iPad charger provide more than enough power to charge 2 extra devices through the keyboard.
  Note: The USB ports are for charging only. Plugging a flash drive or mouse into them will have no effect.
• Laser Etched Keys: Legends are burned into the key caps with a laser, so they will never wear off.
• Key Cap Symbols: Optional symbols are etched directly into the keycaps, and can be accessed via Option or Shift-Option commands.
• Mac-Friendly Function Keys: Screen brightness, audio controls, and other Mac functions are as easily accessed as on any Apple keyboard.

• Make sure the keyboard is properly positioned. Sit in your usual position at your desk and gently square your shoulders. Allow your upper arms to relax to your waist. Lift your forearms at the elbow and extend your fingers so that there is a straight line from your elbow through the centre of your wrist to your middle finger. Adjust your seat height or keyboard tray so that your arms and hands can maintain this position as you type.
  Note: If you need to raise your chair you will most likely need some kind of support for your feet.
• Try to keep the straight line through the wrist while typing. If you find that your hands are angling up at the wrist you may wish to add a palm support to aid in maintaining that neutral alignment.
• As you type, pay attention to when the keystroke actuates on the screen and learn to associate it with the feel of the key as it is depressed. As you learn how far and hard to press a key, you will be able to become efficient at using just enough force to exceed the peak force of the switch ("QUIET CLICK") and generate a keystroke every time, without bottoming out at the end of the keystroke against the keyboard ("CLACK").
