Full-size split keyboard for long-hour typing
Does a Straight Keyboard Feel Uncomfortable After Hours of Typing?
A conventional keyboard places all the keys in one straight horizontal row,
even though your hands naturally approach the keyboard from different angles.
The Ergo Wireless Split Ergonomic Keyboard uses a curved,
split key layout designed to better follow the natural direction of your
hands while you type.
Add a broad cushioned palm support, quiet low-profile keys, a full numeric
keypad and wireless connectivity for up to three devices, and you have a
keyboard designed specifically for people who spend serious time at their desk.
Keep the familiar full-size keyboard. Change the position your hands type from.
The split, curved layout angles the left and right key areas towards each
hand while retaining the function keys and numeric keypad many professionals
rely on every day.
Designed for People Who Spend Hours at the Keyboard
If typing is a major part of your workday, small differences in keyboard
shape, key position and hand support become much more important.
↗↖
Curved Split Layout
The left and right key areas are angled to better follow the natural
direction of your hands instead of forcing both hands straight ahead.
▬
Cushioned Palm Support
A broad padded support creates a softer resting surface in front of the
keys during pauses in typing.
3
Connect Up to Three Devices
Use two Bluetooth channels plus the 2.4GHz wireless USB receiver and
switch between compatible devices when required.
🔇
Quiet Key Design
Low-noise keys make the keyboard well suited to shared offices, home
workspaces and long periods of focused typing.
Why Does a Split Keyboard Feel Different?
Place your hands loosely on a desk and you will notice they do not naturally
point perfectly straight ahead.
Your forearms approach the keyboard from the left and right, creating a
slight angle through the hands.
The Ergo Wireless Split Keyboard arranges its main typing keys in two
curved sections that better reflect this position.
Rather than dramatically changing how a keyboard works, it keeps a familiar
full-size layout while changing the geometry of the typing area.
Particularly Suited to Keyboard-Heavy Work
Administration
Report Writing
Finance & Data Entry
Long-Hour Office Work
It is particularly relevant for professionals who spend much of the day
writing, entering data, responding to emails, preparing documents or
working across business systems.
A Broad Cushioned Support Across the Front of the Keyboard
The front of the keyboard includes a generous padded palm support that
creates a softer transition between the keyboard and desk.
This can be particularly useful during long computer sessions when your
hands repeatedly return to the area immediately in front of the keys.
i
Use the support as a resting surface, not a brace.
While actively typing, allow your hands to move freely and avoid pressing
your wrists heavily into the padding. The heel of the hands can return to
the cushioned area during pauses in typing.
Full-Size Layout with a Dedicated Numeric Keypad
This is not a compact keyboard.
It is a 111-key full-size keyboard that retains the
dedicated numeric keypad, function row and familiar desktop keyboard controls.
That makes it particularly useful for people working in accounting, finance,
payroll, data entry or administration who use a numeric keypad regularly and
do not want to add a separate one.

Important before you buy
This Is a Large Full-Size Keyboard
The keyboard measures approximately
45.57cm wide × 22.98cm deep.
That gives you the benefit of a full numeric keypad and broad palm support,
but it also requires more desk space than one of our compact keyboards.
If your main ergonomic priority is reducing the distance between your
keyboard and mouse, a compact keyboard may be a better choice.
Choose this model when the split typing position, full-size layout and
integrated support are more important to you than minimising keyboard width.
Full-Size Convenience Comes with a Wider Mouse Position
The built-in numeric keypad sits on the right side of the keyboard, as it
does on most full-size layouts.
For right-handed mouse users, this means the mouse will generally sit
further from the main typing area than it would beside a compact keyboard.
If you use the numeric keypad frequently, that trade-off may be worthwhile.
If you rarely enter numbers and spend much of the day using your mouse, a
compact keyboard may suit your workstation better.
One Keyboard Across Up to Three Devices
Modern desks often involve more than one computer or device.
The Ergo Wireless Split Keyboard supports
two Bluetooth connections plus one 2.4GHz wireless USB connection,
allowing you to pair up to three compatible devices.
B1
Bluetooth Device 1
Pair one compatible computer, tablet or other Bluetooth device.
B2
Bluetooth Device 2
Pair a second Bluetooth device without repeatedly removing the first connection.
USB
2.4GHz Wireless USB
Use the supplied USB receiver for a dedicated wireless computer connection.
↔
Easy Device Switching
Change between paired connections directly from the keyboard instead of
repeatedly pairing from scratch.
Useful If Your Desk Has More Than One Computer
Multi-device connectivity can be particularly useful if your workstation
includes a work computer alongside another device.
Instead of keeping multiple keyboards on the desk, one keyboard can remain
in your preferred typing position while you switch the connection to the
device you need.
Work Laptop
Desktop PC
Tablet
Multi-Computer Setup
Quiet Keys for Shared and Focused Workspaces
The keyboard uses a quiet scissor-style key mechanism designed to provide
a responsive typing feel without the louder sound associated with many
traditional or mechanical keyboards.
This makes it well suited to open offices, shared home workspaces, video
meetings and other environments where constant keyboard noise can become distracting.
Adjust the Keyboard to Suit Your Preferred Setup
Adjustable feet underneath the keyboard give you some control over how the
keyboard sits on the desk.
Rather than automatically using the highest setting, choose the position
that allows your hands and wrists to remain comfortable while typing.
i
More keyboard angle is not automatically more ergonomic.
Use the adjustable feet to suit your workstation, but avoid a position
that noticeably bends your wrists upwards towards the keys.
Expect a short adjustment period
A Split Keyboard Can Feel Different at First
If you have typed on a straight keyboard for years, the curved key layout
may initially feel unfamiliar.
Your fingers are being asked to reach slightly different positions, even
though the overall keyboard layout remains familiar.
Give yourself time to adapt before deciding whether the split layout suits you.
Accuracy and typing speed generally become easier as the new key positions
become familiar.

Split Keyboard or Compact Keyboard?
SPLIT
Choose This Keyboard If...

a full numeric keypad and multi-device wireless connectivity.
MINI
Consider a Compact Keyboard If...

to the main typing area.
A Straightforward Introduction to Split Keyboard Ergonomics
Some specialist split keyboards separate completely into two independent
modules and offer advanced tenting, programming and positioning options.
This keyboard takes a more familiar approach.
The split angle is built into a conventional full-size keyboard body, so
you get a different hand position without having to manage two completely
separate keyboard halves.
That makes it a practical option for someone who wants to move beyond a
traditional straight keyboard without immediately moving into a highly
specialised split-keyboard system.
Rechargeable Instead of Disposable Batteries
The built-in 300mAh lithium battery can be recharged through
USB Type-C.
A low-battery indicator helps alert you when the remaining charge is running low,
reducing the chance of the keyboard unexpectedly losing power during work.
Set It Up Around Your Typing Position
1
Centre the Keyboard
Position the main typing area directly in front of your body rather
than centring the entire keyboard including the numeric keypad.
2
Find a Comfortable Angle
Test the adjustable feet and choose the position that allows your hands
to reach the keys without excessive wrist bending.
3
Keep It Within Easy Reach
Bring the keyboard close enough that your upper arms can remain relaxed
rather than reaching forward to type.
Choosing a Split Keyboard Because Typing Has Become Uncomfortable?
Changing the shape and position of your keyboard can alter the way your
hands, wrists and forearms are positioned during computer work.
The split layout and cushioned support are designed to create a more
comfortable typing setup, but a keyboard is only one part of the workstation.
Chair height, desk height, keyboard distance, mouse position, typing habits
and the amount of time you spend at the computer can all influence comfort.
If you have persistent wrist, hand or forearm symptoms, consider discussing
your workstation with a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, hand
therapist or other appropriate health professional.
