These units offer a number of enhanced features (back and forward for internet browsing, vertical and horizontal scroll) on Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The bundled signature capture software will not work on Windows 2000 or XP.

These units are 5.5" long x 4.4" wide x 1" deep and only come in serial model with a 6" PS/2 adapter. There are only 2 mechanical buttons (compared to 4 on the Smart Cat).

orbiTouch Keyboards by Keybowl now available!

ErgoCanada.com is proud to announce that we are distributing the innovative orbiTouch Keyboard by Keybowl. This award-winning design reduces harmful hand and wrist motion by 82% over standard keyboards and 60% over ergonomic keyboards. There are no keys - just two large domes which generate keystrokes when you slide them into one of their eight respective positions. You create the different characters by sliding the domes to create letters and numbers. The orbiTouch has an integrated mouse, so once you've mastered the layout, it's even easier to use than a traditional keyboard (no reach for the mouse).

Please click here to see a brief video showing how the product is used. The keyboard requires 2 PS/2 ports and is 19.5" wide x 8.5" deep x 3.75" high.

Wrist Arm Support Platforms (WASPs) are now available!

Looking for a wrist support which will work on any worksurface and has no clamping or mounting requirements? The WASP may be the answer. It is an innovative wrist support which allows you to glide your hand across the full range of the keyboard and mouse while comfortably supporting your wrist. You won't have to support the weight of your hands and forearms while using your computer.

This unique wrist support incorporates a recessed area where the wrist and forearm will be positioned (as illustrated) which ensures there is no loss of circulation to the hand - the W.A.S.P. circulation channel.

Tests show a reduction in blood flow to this area when accompanied by muscle fatigue, may result in tissue degradation and the release of lactic acid and cytokines and other pain-producing and inflammatory substances. This can result in tight muscles which pull on tendons and crimp nerves, causing pain and loss of feeling.

There are two buttons on the side and a scroll wheel on top which also is a left mouse button. There are two sizes available, Medium and Large, and at present is only available for right handed individuals. This device is USB only, and is plug-and-play for both Macintosh and PC systems.

We have the new Black Truforms from Adesso!

We have the new Adesso Truform Keyboard - Black in stock. The split-key design helps to move the arms away from the torso to alleviate upper body and shoulder stress, while the contour, or sloping curve, helps the wrists and hands to align in a more natural position. This keyboard is similar to the Cirque SmoothCat except that there are no extra buttons above the space bar and the touchpad is under the space bar instead of under the cursor keys.

Cirque SmoothCat Keyboard and Cirque Wave II keyboard Available - but only for a Limited Time

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that we have sourced out a limited number of Cirque SmoothCat keyboards and Cirque Wave II keyboards. These are the original keyboards manufactured by Cirque and much sought after by many devoted users. Once these keyboards are sold, there will not be any further units available.

This keyboard has a Cirque Easy Cat Touchpad embedded in the sculpted wrist rest (which with driver will support vertical scrolling) which is located under the cursor control keys. The only other keyboard ever manufactured using the fixed split layout with a touchpad is the Adesso product - and that product has the touchpad located under the space bars. For those who prefer the touchpad in the original location, this is their last chance to buy this product.

NEW: We have also obtained a limited number of UK layout keyboards. These keyboards are identical in terms of functionality and usage - the only distinction is that the keycaps are slightly different (a pound symbol instead of a dollar symbol, etc.). If you are interested in one of these, we are selling them at a discount of $10 i.e. for $140 instead of the regular price of $150.
