Datalux
Space Saving Compact Keyboards
Datalux offers a full line of Space Saver compact
keyboards with compressed row (not column) spacing, narrow
borders and rearranged key clusters. This provides a keyboard
with a 40 percent smaller footprint with 100 dedicated keys
(no embedded numeric keypads or keys requiring a toggle
or 'function' to access). A Compact Combo version of the
Space Saver keyboards is also available which includes
a Cirque Easy Cat in the keyboard.
All the keyboards are available in both charcoal or white
(standard beige color), flat models (Tray - 273 mm x 165
mm x 22 mm) or gradually elevated at the back (Desktop -
275 mm x 155 mm x 69 mm), and with or without touchpad -
so there are no disappointments due to that model not being
available with a different option. Another interesting feature
is that the Enter key on the Desktop models is double height,
making it easier to access.

Mirtech
Soft-Key Keyboard - Spill Proof, Anti-Bacterial, Flexible
The Soft-Key by Mirtech gives keyboard users a new experience
in PC desktop and laptop computing. Designed for maximum
comfort, versatility, and user safety, the Soft-Key roll-up
keyboard features an ultra-comfortable, silicon-based surface
that not only seals in the touch-sensitive keys but provides
a protective shield that will repel bacteria for the lifetime
of the keyboard.
Comfortable
and Flexible Design
The Soft-Key is made of a pliant silicone-based material
that provides superior tactile feedback unlike most foam
- like spillproof keyboards. The keyboard's light-weight,
roll-up design provides portability.
Anti-bacterial Protection
The Soft-Key's protective biochemical agent, Biocera-A,
is permanently built in to the keyboard to repel bacterial
caused by sneezing, coughing, or other sources of infection.
It is completely harmless to users and has been approved
by U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This makes
the Soft-Key an ideal keyboard for any office, hospital
lab, classroom, military installation, or industry, where
bacterial contamination is a common risk.
This keyboard has 85 keys, is a PS/2 device and is 15.9"
x .25" x 6.5", weighing only 200 grams.

- Compact category in our Online
Catalog.

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, and we have less than 20 units remaining.
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.
