Efficient numerical input.The S-board 840 Numeric is perfect for users who are intensely involved in numerical data entry. In the finance sector, in controlling, or in other jobs where it is necessary to regularly enter numbers, the S-board 840 Numeric is a great addition to your ergonomic compact keyboard.
The advantage of a compact keyboard is the minimized reach to your computer mouse. If you would like to keep this effect, you can position the external numeric keypad on the opposite side of your mouse hand or put it away altogether when you’re not using the numeric functions. Also, the ability to alternate using the numeric keypad between your left and right hand helps distribute muscle activity between both hands. This flexibility in using the S-board 840 Numeric leads to a healthier way of working and increases not only your comfort but also your productivity at work.
Ergonomic backgroundA compact keyboard without the numeric keypad allows placing the mouse closer to the keyboard. Research shows that 90% of users do not use the numeric keypad, if ever. With a compact keyboard you work more comfortably because it reduces the reaching distance to the mouse (Cook C. et al., 1998). This lightens the load on the forearms and shoulder. Dark letters on a clear background make reading easier (ISO 9241) and contribute to higher productivity (Snyder, 1990).
No reflections.With the S-Board Numeric you can conveniently change your view from the bright monitor down to the light keys with dark lettering. The light colour avoids high contrasts and reflections, which guarantees the best readability. The font size is 4 mm, making it easy to recognize the characters and start your data entry immediately.
Silent, and comfortable data entry.The S-Board 840 Numeric has a scissor mechanism which results in quieter typing and requires less force to press keys. The user still recognizes the pressure point of the keys while typing, and at the same time does not need to apply excessive force to press the keys. A scissor mechanism guarantees a good balance between actuation force and typing speed.
Accurate typing.The S-Board 840 Numeric has a key centre distance of 19 mm according to the DIN EN ISO norm. The concave key shape with an inner curvature fits perfectly to your fingertips. The key with the five, which is in the middle of the numeric block, has a small bump. The eight extra keys for the calculator function have a convex shape, curved like the exterior of a circle. These features ensure better orientation, precise typing and minimal typing errors during work.
Get started quickly.You can start working immediately with your S-Board 840 Numeric. Thanks to plug-and-play, simply connect the numeric keypad to a USB port on your computer and wait until the hardware is automatically detected. Two LEDs show whether the keypad is powered and if NumLock is activated.
Calculator function.This external numeric keypad has a calculator function with eight extra keys, so you can solve arithmetic tasks faster and more easily. When connected to your computer you can switch between keypad mode and calculator mode. You can also calculate on the numeric keypad and use the SEND button to transfer the result to your computer.
Hot keys.You can activate the integrated navigation keys with NumLock and conveniently use functions: Home, Page Up, Page Down, End, Insert, and Delete. These integrated navigation keys increase efficiency.
Compatibility.The S-Board 840 Numeric is compatible with all computers or laptops that have a USB port and run a Windows operating system. MacOS users can use the calculator function.
