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

We are pleased to announce we have sourced out a manufacturer 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.

Common 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

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.

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

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that we are now offerring 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

Pictured at left 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 permanantly 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.
