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.

  * Excludes PCB assembly and cables

• Easy, secure connectivity for multiple devices – The keyboard supports secure connection with up to three devices through two Bluetooth^® connections and one 2.4GHz 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.”
