SPLAY & ULNAR DEVIATION ADJUSTMENT
There is usually a discrepancy between your shoulder width and keyboard
width when you place your fingers on the home row of keys. You compensate
by angling your wrists outward (Figure 1.2 – ulnar deviation). Rather than have
this happen, the Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard splits the horizontal plane
relieving this awkward posture. The aim is to allow your wrists to be straight
which in turn will increase your comfort level.
To decrease ulnar deviation when using the Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard:
• release the latch handle by pulling it open.
• separate the front edges of the two keyboard sections to the desired angle.
• and lock it by pushing the handle back to its closed position.

CONNECTING YOUR KEYBOARD
• Round 6-pin PS/2 Port. Important: Always turn off your computer before
connecting or disconnecting your keyboard at the PS/2 port.
• Turn off your computer and all attached devices.
• Locate the keyboard port
• Disconnect and remove any keyboard now attached to the computer.
• Attach the keyboard connector to the PS/2 keyboard port on your computer.
Care needs to be taken, as the orientation of the connector is important and
the connector pins are easily damaged.
• Restart the computer.

The Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard has been developed to reduce unwanted
awkward postures and to enable you to attain comfortable, neutral wrist
postures. By adjusting the two keyboard sections, both horizontally and
vertically, you tailor the keyboard to your individual anatomy and work
environment. At the same time decreasing two potentially harmful and
awkward postures, ulnar deviation and pronation.
Everyone is different and will require different typing positions to suit them and
their workstation.
The patented Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard has an easy to use adjustment
latch mechanism:
To adjust it, simply open the handle away from the keyboard. This releases the
lock and lets you move the keyboard segments to suit your individual comfort.
Once you have found an appropriate keyboard configuration, ensure that the
segments are sitting evenly on all four feet and push the handle back to its
locked position.
Caution: Always ensure that locking of the handle is undertaken with due care
to avoid fingers being caught between the keyboard surface and the locking
mechanism.
Remember, just as you would shift and move your posture and task during the
day, the Goldtouch
®
Adjustable Keyboard can be adjusted to move with you.
Avoid postures that are awkward, uncomfortable or require you to flex, extend or
deviate your wrists from a neutral posture or pronate your wrists and forearms.
