Evoluent Essential Wired [EKB]
The Evoluent Essential Wired Keyboard is a compact, ergonomic keyboard designed to reduce right arm strain by eliminating the numeric keypad, allowing your mouse to sit closer to your body. Featuring full-size arrow and F1-F12 keys, tactile bumps on selected keys for touch typing, and an extremely low-profile flat design with key tops just 1cm off the desk, this keyboard prioritizes comfort and efficiency. Twelve one-touch hotkeys provide instant access to Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Web, Email, Computer, Mute, Volume controls, Sleep, and Turn Off. High-quality scissor keys deliver crisp feedback without the mushiness of membrane keys. No Fn key required—every function has its own dedicated key.
Key Features
- Compact Ergonomic Keyboard Design
- No Numeric Keypad for Improved Mouse Positioning
- Ultra-Low Profile Flat Layout
- Full-Size Arrow & Function Keys
- Precision Scissor Switch Keys
- 12 One-Touch Multimedia Hotkeys
- Wired USB Plug-and-Play Connectivity
- Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux & Unix
The Evoluent Essential Wired EKB is ideal for office workers, data entry professionals, writers, and anyone who experiences right shoulder or arm strain from reaching too far for their mouse. By removing the numeric keypad, this compact keyboard lets you position your mouse closer, promoting a more relaxed arm posture. The extremely low-profile flat design reduces wrist extension, while tactile bumps on multiple keys facilitate touch typing without looking. Windows users (XP through 11) benefit from full hotkey functionality with no driver installation required. Mac, Linux, and Unix users retain full typing functionality (hotkeys excepted). With full-size arrow and function keys and high-quality scissor switches, the EKB delivers professional-grade comfort without compromise.
