The Single Hand Keyboards from Maltron have been developed as a logical step forward to meet the needs of those who need to perform keyboard operations with one hand. The shape matches natural hand movement and the key arrangement minimises finger movement, raising speed and relieving frustration.

The special shape and letter layout have been very carefully planned, taking into account the limited number of keys that can be accessed quickly and comfortably.

Word-processing input speeds of 85 words per minute have been demonstrated by operators using Maltron single handed keyboards. The fully ergonomic shape ensures freedom from strain and no RSI type problems have been reported in over 10 years, although all the work is done by one hand!

Both Left and Right hand models are designed for "Touch Typing".

These keyboards have Push-On Push-Off keys for Shift, Control and Alt functions; essential for single hand operation.

The unique switchable dual layout feature of Maltron keyboards has now been developed for single handed keyboards to give an alternative number entry option. For intensive number work the flat number panel alongside the letters is not ergonomic and can lead to fatigue as there is nowhere to rest the hand during pauses. To overcome this problem the number pad numbers are now also grouped on the letters keys. Either letters or numbers may be immediately selected by pressing a separate button. Windows keys are also included.

The Half-QWERTY Pro Keyboard from Matias is a standard full-size keyboard that offers the option of one-handed typing with either the left or right hand. This is the same functionality as all prior versions of the Half-QWERTY keyboard, now spanning a period of over 20 years. The Pro version now offers the Matias Quiet-Click tactile keyswitches for an improved and more responsive typing experience. Like all prior versions, the Half-QWERTY Pro Keyboard is like having two half keyboards in one. Equipped with full-size keycaps and accommodating both left- and right-handed individuals, both halves of the keyboard are able to function independently as a complete keyboard, accommodating anyone requiring single handed input. And, in order to accommodate those who may still require a conventional layout, with the touch of a single key the Half-QWERTY Pro can revert to functioning as a two-handed keyboard. The hardwired programming lets this keyboard function on both PC and Mac operating systems.

The revolutionary Matias Half Keyboard allows the user to type with their left hand drawing on any existing QWERTY layout keyboard experience. This ultra-compact keyboard is a one-handed version of the standard desktop keyboard for the left hand. The 22 full-size high-quality scissor-switch chording key layout yields a sleek, thin solution providing access to all keys on a regular keyboard. The Half-Keyboard is ideal for individuals with minimal range of arm movement seeking a solely left-handed keyboard input solution.

The keycaps on the Super Compact Mini Keyboard from Solidtek are just 0.61" (1.5 cm) in width, around 75% of the normal size. The fully-functioning membrane keys include a scissors mechanism that enhances the smoothness and stability of keyswitches. Despite being the smallest "physcially functioning" keyboard available, the 77 key layout includes an embedded numeric keypad to offer full 101 key functionality.
The small size of the key caps makes it almost impossible for an adult to use as their fingers will have difficulty activating just a single key.

The Mousetrapper Alpha combines the advanced mousing functions of the Mousetrapper Control Pad with a compact scissor switch keyboard for the ultimate combination of cursor control and portable convenience. At just 12.3" wide and only 8.7" deep this compact combination is superbly portable and can be placed virtually anywhere a standard keyboard would fit. The Alpha is rechargeable and can operate either as a Bluetooth or Corded device. It is also compatible with both PC and Mac platforms. In Bluetooth mode it can be connected to two devices and remember up to a total of four devices. When operating as a corded device the battery is automatically charged.

The most impressive feature of this device is the Mousetrapper "Control Pad" that is centrally located directly below the keyboard. This two-dimensional device offers intuitive fingertip-driven cursor control. Eight light-touch buttons adjacent to the pad combine to offer full standard mouse functions as well as additional shortcuts (Double Click/Copy/Paste/Zoom In/Zoom Out/Scroll Up/Scroll Down). In addition, all of these buttons can be reassigned or custom programmed to a wide variety of commands via the MT Keys software. The Control Pad is designed to be used by either hand, with the fingertips "steering" the moveable pad to provide near effortless onscreen navigation and cursor control. Unlike touchpads, the fingers can rest on the Control Pad between mouse activation tasks, with clicking accomplished by lightly pressing down against the pad. The palm rest zones to each side of the Control Pad are also slightly elevated above the keyboard to aid in maintaining a neutral wrist alignment when using the keyboard.

The incorporated chiclet-style compact keyboard has low travel scissor switches that offer a degree of tactile feedback. The full-size keycaps and standard layout mean that there is minimal learning curve when moving from a standard full-width keyboard. It is also possible to custom program up to 11 keys (F1-F11) for further customization. Three levels of optional backlighting are available, easily adjusted via a keyboard shortcut function. For protection during transport, the Mousetrapper Alpha includes a neoprene travel sleeve.

This compact mini-keyboard from SolidTek has a small built-in touchpad and embedded numeric keypad. This combination keyboard is ideal for those with small hands who need portability or have use of only one hand. Keyboard housing is black with black keys; all keys are smaller than normal key size. Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 with plug-n-play capability.

Note: There is a newer model (KB-3910BL) that is backlit.

This is the smallest keyboard available on the market today, having keycaps 0.61" in width. This means the keycaps are around 75% of the normal size, making it almost impossible for an adult to use effectively as their fingers cannot easily hit a single keyswitch.

The 77 key layout includes an embedded numeric keypad to offer full 104 key functionality (there are navigation keys in the embedded numeric keypad which are not legended - hold down the FN key to access them.) The key travel distance is shorter than normal, and a scissor-switch mechanism adds to the smoothness and stability of the membrane keyswitches. The Shift, Enter, Space Bar, Caps Lock, Tab, and all bottom and top row keys are significantly smaller than on a standard keyboard. The touchpad has left and right mouse buttons and scrolling feature, and is smaller than a standard touchpad (such as that found in the SK540 keyboard).

Note: This keyboard will not work properly if connected to a switching device, adapter, or docking station. It must be connected directly to the computer.

This full-sized keyboard has dual-legended keys allowing it to be used as a regular keyboard, or as a one-handed keyboard for the left or the right hand. One- or two-handed typing can be simply toggled on or off. The 508 Keyboard has full-sized, high quality membrane keyswitches with the standard modifier and function keys and a numeric keypad.

Note:Problems in the last production run resulted in some of the larger keys being slightly askew. We have discounted affected models, however this is a cosmetic problem only and does not affect functionality.

The Mouth-Head Stick Keyboard from Maltron has a unique shape and keyboard layout suitable for those who cannot type with their hands. The shape matches natural head movement and the key arrangement minimises finger or stick activity, raising speed and relieving frustration.

Push-On, Push-Off keys are provided for Shift, Control and Alt.

Maltron keyboards all have the ability to turn off key repeating at the keyboard if it is not wanted. If allowed by the software in use, the repeat rate can be set to SLOW, MEDIUM or FAST at the keyboard.

This item is a US language keyboard.

The Desktop Datalux SpaceSaver provides a compact keyboard input solution. The keys are half the normal depth (i.e. same width (side to side) but shorter depth (top to bottom) - making it easier to reach upper rows for individuals with limited range of movement. The upper portion of the keyboard is positively inclined to further reduce the reach for the keys. Available in White (Beige) or Charcoal.
