Kensington Announces Availability of Rechargeable Ergo Keyboard

Kensington, a worldwide leader of desktop computing and mobility solutions for IT, business, and home office professionals, today announced the availability of the Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL Rechargeable Keyboard. Winner of a 2024 Red Dot Design award in the product design category, the keyboard is compatible with Windows and macOS and features an ergonomically-sculpted TKL (tenkeyless) design that delivers style, comfort, and performance for use in the office and on the road.

Designed to position the wrists and arms in an ergonomically correct position to promote a more natural posture, the Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL Rechargeable Keyboard (K75491) minimizes strain and discomfort when utilizing the keyboard over extended periods. Compared to a traditional, flat keyboard, the ergonomic design of the KB675 keyboard can potentially reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), such as carpal tunnel syndrome and other typing-related issues, which could require medical treatment or result in lost time at work.
Features and Benefits of the Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL Rechargeable Keyboard
  • Ergonomic design - The thoughtfully designed compact curved key layout, built-in wrist pad, and front keyboard legs support optimal hand and wrist positioning for all-day ergonomic comfort and productivity.
  • Sustainability Focused - To reduce environmental impact, the outer casing and keycaps are composed of 65% post-consumer recycled content (PCR).*
  • Easy, secure connectivity for multiple devices - The keyboard supports secure connection with up to three devices through two Bluetooth connections and one 2.4 GHz connection with government-grade 128-bit encryption. Swift Pair Technology reduces pairing hassles and makes connection quick and easy for Windows devices.
  • Customizable for enhanced productivity - Video conferencing keys support efficient meeting transitions. When used with optional Kensington Konnect software, users can assign additional dedicated keys to launch preferred AI applications, create macros, adjust key mappings, manage profiles, and more.
  • Long battery life ensures uninterrupted productivity - A 500mAh rechargeable battery, which is conveniently charged via a USB-C charging port, provides long battery life, and eliminates the need for disposable alkaline batteries.
  • Bright LED status lights - Vibrant RGB indicators provide status on wireless connection, battery charge level, and caps lock.
"The fatigue, discomfort, and strain associated with spending long hours typing on traditional flat keyboard can not only negatively impact productivity, but potentially causes long-term issues in the wrists and hands," explained Lisa Schuiteboer Shuler, Manager of Product Marketing, Global Marketing at Kensington. "The ergonomic design of this keyboard complements a modern workspace and provides a more comfortable and productive typing experience, making it an ideal choice for professionals in the office, at home, and on the road."

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL Rechargeable Keyboard is covered by a three-year limited warranty and professional support and will be available in North America through multiple channels, including Amazon and other online retailers.

[Editor's note: The Pro Fit Ergo KB675 EQ TKL will retail for US$70]

NGL, some of those hotkeys are a bit weird, but if they work then I'm sure someone will be happy.

I do dig the dedicated calculator key but why the page Up & down keys next to each other?!

Wait, are the raised feet at the front? :wtf:

Those are for inverse tenting, which is awesome.

As a keyboard nerd, I wouldn't buy this for personal use, but that's a really cool feautre not many boards have (the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard also has it, for example).
