The Evoluent Reduced Reach Right Handed Keyboard enables those who mouse with the right hand to balance the load between the left and right sides of the upper body, and to significantly reduce the stress on the shoulder muscles of the mousing side. By relocating the numeric keypad to the left side of the keyboard, the Evoluent Reduced Reach Right Handed Keyboard makes it possible to input numbers with the left hand, and to mouse with the right. With only a single column of navigation keys along the right edge, the keyboard allows the mouse to be placed in a comfortable position more directly in line with the right shoulder.
The Evoluent Reduced Reach Right Handed Keyboard features a glossy black housing with silver trim, and highly visible blue legends on the numeric keypad to help users quickly adapt to the new layout.
Note: Both left- and right-handed users risk overreach injuries whenever they position devices in such a way that they must reach across one device or component to access another. Consequently, even though a numeric keypad on the left might be considered a desirable feature by left-handed users, the major ergonomic benefits of this keyboard would be lost if a left-handed user were to continue mousing with the left hand. | Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Balances the Load on the Upper Body Muscles - A traditional keyboard requires right-handed users to use the same hand for keying in numbers, and for mousing. This repetitive back and forth motion at the same shoulder joint can lead to fatigue and injury in that muscle group. Using the Evoluent Reduced Reach Right Handed Keyboard, users can distribute the workload more evenly, keying in numbers with the left hand, and mousing with the right.
Reduces Risk of Overreach Injury - By placing the numeric keypad on the left, the Evoluent Reduced Reach Right Handed Keyboard allows those who mouse with the right hand to place the mouse within the Comfort Zone. When the mouse is in line with the shoulder, users no longer need to overextend the shoulder joint and the risk of injury drops significantly. Learn More About Overreaching.
Reduces Risk of Wrist Extension - With only 0.4” between the work surface and the top of the keys, the slim design of the Evoluent Reduced Reach Right Handed Keyboard helps users avoid the unhealthy upward bend at the wrists, known as wrist extension, that contributes to fatigue, pain and numbness in the forearms, wrists and hands.
