INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the Goldtouch

Adjustable Keyboard. Just like the

ergonomic
products.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Your Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard is an exceptional product designed to be
adjusted to suit your individual body requirements, rather than forcing your
body to conform to the technology. It provides for personal adaptation of the
two alphanumeric sections to help you attain relaxation of the muscles and
tendons of the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. In so doing some
undesirable awkward postures used in typing can be alleviated. This posture
enhancement, combined with correct adjustment of your workstation, can help
promote your comfort and productivity.
The Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard allows you to try various keyboard set-
ups until you find the positions, in both the horizontal and vertical plane that
best suit your needs. The range of adjustability provided is 30
o
degree
horizontally and 30
o
vertically, however, some keyboard users may find that
using the Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard in the flat and linear position of a
standard keyboard is most comfortable for their personal needs.
Most users will find their preferred keyboard position will be raised and
splayed to some extent, allowing a more relaxed and natural ‘repose’
interface. Once again this is the benefit of an adjustable keyboard, it allows
the individual to personalize or tailor the keyboard to their unique
requirements.
