Why should I buy a Contour Keyboard? |
| |
If you hold your hand up, and look at your fingers, they do not
create a straight line. Each of your fingers have a different length.
With a conventional keyboard, you have to contort your fingers to
flatten out to allow you to type. This contortion of your fingers is
one of the main reasons people end up with RSI. With a conventional
keyboard you have to conform to the keyboard, instead of the keyboard
conforming to your fingers. With the Maltron keyboard, the keyboard
conforms to your finger. |

How will the Maltron Keyboard increase my typing speed? |
| |
With a conventional keyboard, only 8 of the 10 fingers get used. With
the Maltron Keyboard your thumbs get more use then a conventional
keyboard. Additionally, with a the keys being placed in a position
more suitable to fit your fingers, you will be able to type faster.
Many users report that the Maltron keyboard increased their speed by
20%. Each individual person will experience different results. |

The Heart of the Maltron Keyboard |
| |
The heart of the Maltron keyboard is the key switch. The Cherry MX
switches are considered the best keyboard switch in the industry.
Cherry switches are known to last 50 million key strokes per key!
Many keyboard intensive users, report that their keyboards last over
10 years, despite heavy usage of the Maltron keyboard.Most
inexpensive keyboards made today use cheap membrane key switches. The
reason they use membrane key switches is because they are extremely
inexpensive. You can buy a membrane keyboard for under $10. But the
down side of membrane key switches is their short life, and the
damage they cause to the users by causing RSI problems. Other
advantages of the Cherry MX key switches are their low and consistant
tactile pressure required to activate the key. The Cherry MX key
switch is specifically designed to reduce the the pressure to the
users fingers and hands |
| |
One of the major causes of RSI is the need to pound the key of
membrane key switches to make it activate. This constant pounding
takes it toll on the human body over the years. Cherry MX key
switches activate HALF WAY thru the key stroke. This means that the
user does not have to pound the keys into the base of the keyboard.
This SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the stress to the human body. Use a
Maltron keyboard for a day, and you will be amazed the the results! |
