A compact size for improved ergonomics.
The S-board 840 has a compact size because the numerical part is missing. In most cases users hardly need the numerical part of a keyboard or even not at all.
A compact sized keyboard leads to a better posture during computer work. The reach distance to the mouse is minimised and therefore the pain in your forearms and shoulders is prevented. Do you miss the numerical part? Simply switch on the separate NumLock key, and work with the integrated number field. This way you will work in-line all the time and this leads to more efficiency and less physical discomfort.
Ergonomic background
A 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 lowers 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 and a nice design.
The S-board 840 has white keys with dark lettering. This provides a convenient change of view from the bright monitor down to the light keys. The light colour avoids high contrasts and reflections, guaranteeing the best readability. The dark letters on the keyboard have a font size of 4 mm, which makes it easy to recognize the letters and start typing.
If you are not touch-typing, fold out the feet of the S-board 840 to bring it to a better viewing angle. If you do touch-type, we recommend keeping the feet folded in. Your wrists bend less upwards and remain in a more neutral, flat posture. The stylish bright design of the keyboard improves readability and helps increase productivity.
Silent, comfortable typing feel.
With the S-board 840 you will type easily and comfortably. The S-board 840 uses a scissor mechanism for its keys. The advantage of this mechanism is that the keys are quieter and require less force to press. The scissor mechanism ensures that 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.
Perfect for your hybrid work.
Do you work remotely at home some days and in the office or a meeting room on others? Simply take the S-board 840 with you. A protective bag is included in the delivery. This bag protects your keyboard during transport in your laptop bag and helps ensure a long service life. The keyboard weighs just 480 g and has compact dimensions of 305mm x 20mm x 165mm. It fits perfectly in your bag. Benefit from having your own device and avoid hygiene risks.
Keys for precise typing.
The keys of the S-board 840 have a key centre distance of 19mm according to the DIN EN ISO norm, which ensures better orientation on the keyboard. Not only the distance, but also the shape of the keys is important. The S-board 840 has concave keys: the inner curvature fits perfectly to your fingertips. For better orientation, only the space bar has a convex shape (curved like the exterior of a circle). The key spacing and shape guarantee precise typing and minimal typing errors.
Many, many functions.
The S-board 840 has three status LEDs that show if NumLock, CapsLock or ScrollLock are activated. With the two USB ports you will be more flexible than ever because you can use them for devices such as your mouse and headset. The S-board 840 is compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS. The twelve hotkey buttons provide increased efficiency: open a new document or file, use the convenient save or print button, cut, copy and paste, control standard media-player functions, open a new browser tab, set a favourite or jump to your e-mails. You will use the mouse less automatically, which is not only more productive but also more ergonomic.
