Product Summary |

The USB-C Wireless Aluminum Keyboard for PC from Matias reflects the same familiar design concepts and high quality that Matias has employed for many years. With a Black anodized aluminum upper housing, and equipped with high quality Matias scissor switches, this keyboard is designed for durability and to provide a responsive typing experience. Media control is achieved through alternate functions on the F7-F9 keys. The slim, low-profile design has a complimentary light weight of just 1.18 lbs.
Wireless 2.4 GHz connectivity on the USB-C Wireless Aluminum Keyboard for PC is provided through the world's smallest USB-C nano receiver. A high power, long-lasting 1600 mAh battery is able to provide up to 3 years of use between charges.
If more frequent charging and a plastic housing are not an issue the budget-friendly Wireless USB-C Keyboard for PC offers the same USB-C 2.4 ghZ wireless functionality with a smaller 500 mAh battery that can provide up to a year of use on a charge.
Note: Both the Matias Wireless USB-C Mouse and Wireless USB-C Pro Mouse can be connected simultaneously with the keyboard, using the same USB-C nano receiver so only a single port is required. |
Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Reduced Risk of Wrist Extension - The USB-C Wireless Aluminum Keyboard presents a low front profile which means that there is not a significant difference between keyboard height and the work surface. For those who "rest" the heel of their hands when keyboarding low profile can reduce the risks associated with wrist extension. Learn more about Wrist Extension.
Reduced Risk of Shoulder and Back Pain - Keying on compact laptops requires that one position the hands unnaturally close together. This requires that the shoulders be "rolled in" and usually also down. This puts undue strain on both the shoulders and the upper back. Extended use of devices requiring this posture can have a noticeable effect on the health of the shoulders and back. The USB-C Wireless Aluminum Keyboard addresses this by providing a means of entering data on these devices without the space limitations of the device width. In addition, the ability to quickly switch between devices means that those working with multiple devices may actually be able to increase their productivity since they no longer have to physically switch between devices in order to enter data.

Usage Tips |
---|
- 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. If considering a palm support you will want one that offers a low profile to match the height of the keyboard.
