Similar products retail for $250-$400 - these keyboards are a phenomenal value for only $150.00 each.

Inexpensive, good quality SK membrane keyboards in every imaginable configuration now available!

We are pleased to announce we now carry an inexpensive line of mini / compact / small footprint keyboards. These keyboards are as much as 50% less than the mechanical keyswitch versions!

The main benefit to a mechanical keyswitch is a longer lifespan which is a consideration for users who fit a high volume keyboard input profile. However, membrane keyboards tend to be quieter and have a tactile feel which some prefer.

Work Comfort pictured with laptopCommon features of all keyboards from this line include:

  • Embedded numeric keypad providing full 104 key keyboard functionality
  • Good quality membrane keyswitches rated at 5 million keystrokes and requiring between 50 and 70 grams of force to actuate
  • Efficient layouts which result in keyboard widths not exceeding 12"

Options for these keyboards are wide ranging (although available options vary from model to model). Interface can be PS/2 or USB. Many models are available in a Infrared Wireless version. Most models are available in two Colors - White or Black.

Cursor Control Options:

  • None
  • Touchpad (Cirque Easy Cat) with redundant left and right click buttons below the touchpad
  • Cursorpoint - an 8 way directional 'rocker' button with click buttons on the left
  • Varapoint - a mini joystick which you move through a membrane 'bubble' with click buttons on the left
  • Trackball - a small trackball with click buttons on the left

For more information on these products, see several of our Keyboards categories in our Online Catalog.

Looking for a Left Handed Keyboard? We now offer several models from DSI

Work Comfort pictured with laptopWe are pleased to announce that we now are now carrying the high quality left handed keyboards line from DSI. Now left-handed individuals can have a conventional style keyboard which is designed for them. This product offers the following features:

  • High quality Alps Electric Audible Tactile keyswitches rated at 10 million cycles
  • Available in PS/2, USB and USB for Mac models
  • USB models offer a 'mirrored layout' optimized for left handed users

For more information on this product, see our Keyboards - Dvorak / Left Handed category in our Online Catalog.

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

Cirque SmoothCat Ergonomic Keyboard with TouchpadErgoCanada.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.

We are taking back orders on these units, and expect to receive the products in the third week of July. If you have been looking for the Cirque SmoothCat or Wave II keyboard this may be your last chance to purchase this product.

For more information on this product, see our Keyboards - Combo category in our Online Catalog.

Check it out along with our other offerings in our Laptop Products category in our Online Catalog.

ErgoCanada.com is offering the full line of laptop workstations by Bakker-Elkhuizen. The concept behind their accessories is simple:

  • offer variable elevation of the laptop screen so it can be raised to an optimal height and depth (distance from the user)
  • provide a built-in document holder (which rests on top of the laptop keyboard) and is immediately below the screen, eliminating the need to look from right to left - now the screen, documents and keyboard can all be in one vertical line, reducing undue head and neck motion
  • when used with a separate keyboard and mousing solution, you have a complete ergonomic workstation solution for the laptop, and can realize savings as there is no need to purchase a monitor as the laptop screen can now be used without discomfort.
ErgoCanada.com is pleased to distribute the full line of vehicle laptop mounts from Interactive Products Corp. These units will provide an articulating mounting solution for nearly any vehicle.

Pictured at right is the LapTraveler RWHD, a heavy duty mobile desk with virtually unlimited flexibility for ergonomic positioning, and uses a gear lock (not an inferior quality friction lock) tilt and rotate mechanism at the base of the pedestal. The desktop has forward and backward tilt, as well as side to side tilt and is permanently mounted to the pedestal. The LapTraveler RWHD Series Mobile Desk comes with three telescoping tubes: straight, 45º and 90º. The telescoping tubes are interchangeable, and provide maximum positioning flexibility. This unit is universal and guaranteed to work in your vehicle.
