comfort keyboard, adjustable keyboard, tent keyboard, programmable keyboard

Overview

Three sections - Tent design - place each section in any position - tent keyboard105 fully programmable keys
Infinitely mappable keys Keys that springFlash memory built right inInfinite articulationAngle support
American-made gearsTri-dimensional swivel and yaw allow literally infinite positioning options for each of the three sections: tilt, rotate, bend, flex, twist, flatten, you name it
The three sections can themselves be moved farther apart or closer together rapidly, allowing for shoulder-width extension and travel as recommended by nearly all ergonomics specialty sites
You can even get a
Foot Pedal (or three!) to go with your new "board - Did we mention you can get up to three pedals to replace ANY KEY FUNCTION on the Comfort Keyboard Original
FUNCTIONALITY
Mapping and Key Map FunctionsRemapping (a.k.a. "re-mapping") mode allows you to customize and map your keyboard (i.e. reassign virtual keys to different physical locations)
This can be useful for software applications that require the repeated use of one or more specific keys
It is also useful for consumers who simply find it more convenient to have various keys rearranged
And yes, every key on the keyboard is programmable
We'd call it a "key differentiating" feature - but then we'd be "off the map" right?
Individually programmable macro keys - 94 Macros available
A macro is multiple keystrokes stored in a single key
Pressing that key plays back those multiple keystrokesIf you find yourself typing a particular series of characters repeatedly, you can program that series into a macro key
You simply select a key to represent the series of characters
You may also program macros to reassign (remap) keys on your keyboardIn addition, you can use a macro to exit a program and enter another program quickly
A series of macros can be stored as a 'macro file' to your computer's hard drive
Each Macro file can hold up to approximately 1378 keystrokes
All 1378 keystrokes can be assigned to one macro or as many as 94 macros, using any keys except those listed below, with varying numbers of keystrokes per macro
Left or Right Space Bar as Backspace
For added convenience, the ErgoMagic Keyboard allows you to program either the left or right space bar to backspace
This feature will allow you to program either the left or right space bar to have dual function as a space bar or a backspace
After programming the key, the space bar will function as a space bar if you press the space bar onceThe space bar will function as a backspace if you hold the space bar down
Programmable Repeat Rate Value The repeat rate value (RRV) is the rate at which a key repeats itself when held down"Delay until repeat" governs the first repetition; "repeat rate" governs later repetitions
This can be manipulated by certain operating systems as well
