Relieve wrist and shoulder pain by typing in the optimal "handshake" position with the only purpose built vertical keyboard.

The Safetype is the only keyboard built specifically for the ideal typing position--the handshake position. Conventional keyboards force you to type with rotated forearms and encourage extended wrists. This poor arm position causes pain and repetitive use injuries over time. A vertical keyboard is a must have for anyone who types for extended periods of time at work or at home.

The World's Best-Selling Ergonomic Keyboard

Cornell University conducted extensive testing of the Safetype Keyboard, and found that it greatly reduces the risk of Repetitive Motion Injury (carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.)

Every keyboard claims to have a new ergonomic design. Unfortunately, there is no standard for calling something 'ergonomic'. The word is commercially over-worked and functionally meaningless. Most common 'ergonomic' keyboards simply shift the location of tension from the wrists and forearms up to the neck and shoulders.

How the Safetype Keyboard Works

It doesn't just move the problem to another area of the body.

It eliminates the 3 most damaging postures:

1. Extension
2. Deviation
3. Pronation

It solves real problems, not imaginary ones.

Ask yourself this question. "Will my comfort be increased by using keyboards that create more tension in my neck and shoulders?

The Science of Biomechanics shows that many computer keyboards are seriously flawed in actual use. Most keyboard designs are modifications of a flat keyboard. The designer of the patented SafeType keyboard asked instead, "What is the most neutral location for human hands and then how do we place the keys to be available to the fingers while the user is in that position?"

The SafeType is the only keyboard that can place the user in a position that is completely Orthopedically Neutral while doing data entry and cannot be adjusted improperly by the user. It provides unsurpassed comfort.

The Safetype Keyboard is the only keyboard demonstrated in a Major University Study to virtually eliminate the high-stress postures that contribute to Repetitive Stress Injuries, such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If you stand with your arms relaxed at your sides, and use only the biceps to bring your hands up and forward until your forearms are parallel to the floor, you are now in the most relaxed typing position possible, with your palms facing each other. That is the position you are in when typing with the SafeType Keyboard.

SafeType keyboards were designed according to scientific Biomechanical Principles, not simply modified from old flat keyboard designs. It's the Science of Biomechanics at work for you!
