Kinesis Form Split Keyboard with Central Touchpad

Kinesis Form Split Keyboard with Central Touchpad

The new Kinesis Form Split Touchpad Keyboard features a fixed split design with an integrated Windows Precision Touchpad making it the ultimate all in one ergonomic keyboard for the home, office, or the road.

The fixed split design is engineered to position the arms at shoulder width, promoting a natural alignment of the wrists that remains straight and perpendicular to the home row. This helps to minimise strain and reduce the need for excessive reaching.

Positioned in the space between the keys is the integrated Windows Precision Touchpad. The touchpad being centrally located means either hand can be used for cursor control, eliminating the need to reach to the side for a mouse.

Features:

• Fixed Split Design

• Ambidextrous - allows both hands to access cursor control equally, facilitating balanced usage throughout the day.
• Dual connections - can function as a wired keyboard using the included cable, which also serves to charge the device. Additionally, it is equipped with a rechargeable battery and supports Bluetooth connectivity.
