Description
A separate split keyboard with symmetrical staggering.μTRON Keyboard is designed by Dr.Ken Sakamura, the leader of TRON Project / TRON Forum, and developed by Ubiquitous Computing Technology Corporation.
Separable left and right units, for adjusting to the most comfortable position. Symmetrical key layout, matched to natural finger movements. The layout allows well-used keys such as [Enter], [Shift], and [Backspace] to be pressed easily by index fingers and thumbs. Three-way adjustable tilt: 6 degrees toward front, 10 degrees toward front, 10 degrees toward front + 10 degrees on left and right.
Uses Topre Corporation's contactless capacitive key switches, which are less tiring than mechanical switches.
