Matias Half Keyboard
The ultra-compact Half Keyboard is a one-handed version of the standard desktop keyboard. It uses full-size, high-quality laptop-style keys for excellent typing comfort and speed.
The Half Keyboard's sleek, minimal design makes a great addition to your regular keyboard, or a really cool replacement that uses very little desk space.
Now your other hand is always free when you need it…
- Type while talking on the phone.
- Easier text editing – Scroll, select text, type corrections, or make deletions, without moving your hand back and forth between keyboard and mouse.
- Hold documents in one hand and type them in with the other hand.
- Users of Desktop Publishing, CAD, Photoshop and other graphics software can change tools and issue commands on the Half Keyboard, without taking their hand off the mouse or stylus
- One hand incapacitated? Type with the other!
How does it work?
Typing with one hand is a lot like typing with two hands...
- Place your hand on the keyboard, in the standard position.
- The letters under your hand are exactly the same as on a regular keyboard. You already know how to type them – no learning required!
- For the other half of the keyboard, you need to hold down the space bar. When you hold down the space bar, the keys under your hand change to the other half of the keyboard.
- To type a space, just tap the space bar.
- That’s all there is to it! It’s just like regular typing, except you hold down the space bar to get the other half of the keyboard.
Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information technology be accessible to people with disabilities.
Ideal for one-handedness, Hemiplegia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and other hand-related injuries, Matias' innovative one-handed typing technology provides one-handed typists access comparable to two-handed typists, without undue burden, as required by §1194.26 (a) (2), §1194.1, and §1194.2 (b).
