Customising something is often a positive thing! This is especially true for you if you become the proud owner of the Ergo Pro. Because if there's one thing it's good at, it's helping you to create that healthy workspace tailored to your needs.
The Ergo Pro is a compact and split keyboard that allows wrists and hands to be kept in a more natural position. Firstly, the Ergo Pro can be slid apart. Furthermore, both parts can be raised on the side where they meet. The keyboard can also be raised slightly at the front. To optimise comfort, both parts feature (removable) wrist rests.
The keyboard features Matias Quiet Click mechanical keys. The keys are programmable, meaning you can change their functions yourself. You can also add macros, allowing entire sentences to be conjured up by pressing a combination of keys. The keyboard has internal memory and the necessary software. So, you don't need to download any operating programmes.
Anyone who performs a lot of computer work knows that this can be strenuous for your wrists, shoulders, back and neck. A good keyboard can help you with this. The Matias Ergo Pro, for example, has a compact and split design. The keys are also extra easy to press. Furthermore, you can place your mouse close to the keyboard. All of this is to minimise muscle tension, thereby preventing or reducing injuries.
The left half of the keyboard has an extra row of hotkeys on the outside: Copy, Cut, Paste and Undo. On the right side of the right half, the keyboard has three USB-A ports. Here you can plug in your mouse, or even a camera or phone, for example. The Matias Ergo Pro also features Anti-Ghosting, meaning there is no limit to the number of keystrokes the keyboard can process simultaneously.
The Ergo Pro comes in two variants: one for Windows and one for Mac. So, make sure you order the keyboard that matches your operating system. You can switch between the Mac and Windows versions at the top right of the page.
As mentioned, certain keys are programmable: The Function keys (F1 to F12), the four extra hotkeys on the left side of the keyboard, both spacebars, and the N-key. Programming works as follows: Hold down both the Escape key and the key you want to program simultaneously until the CapsLock key starts flashing. Now you can add a word, sentence or character to this key. Press the programmed key again to save.
To delete the macro, hold down Escape and the programmed key until the CapsLock key starts flashing, then press the programmed key again. All macros can also be deleted by holding down the Escape key and the Backspace key simultaneously.

"Eindelijk een ergonomisch toetsenbord wat écht helemaal aan mijn wensen voldoet. Grote aanrader."
"I have been using a Microsoft Natural 4000 for a few years, and it has been working great for my RSI, relieving the pain at my wrists and arm. The feeling of the keys, however, was not particularly pleasing, and Mac compatibility was also lacking (in terms of extra keys, F-keys, etc). So I decided to try the Matias Ergo Pro, which is a very clean and simple-looking keyboard with the two features of the MS Natural that I really love: a split design and negative incline with a comfy palm support. After having used it every day for a few weeks, I can completely recommend it. On my previous keyboard I used to lay my Apple Magic Touchpad 2 over the Insert/Home/PageUp/PageDown and Numpad area, so my arm would not have to move much to reach it. With the Matias, I set it between the two halves, slightly angled, and it is equally comfortable without covering any key. The keyboard is very compact, and I personally don't miss the numpad. The arrows T are in a natural position, and while the bottom-left key is Fn instead of Ctrl, it's separated from the main keys by a wide gap, so you won't hit it by mistake as it happens with some laptops (including my Macbook). The split space feels very natural too. Coming from the Microsoft keyboard, I didn't need any time to adapt to the new layout. As for the tactile feel of the keys, I found it quite pleasant. Compared to an IBM Model M, it is "softer" but not mushy, quite responsive, and less loud. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the keyboard."
"Het toetsenbord bevalt me prima! Was eventjes wennen, maar dan is het een prima oplossing."
"It takes a few days to get used to it but then it works like a charm. Typing feels more natural, partly because of the responsive - but pretty silent - click, and partly because the optimal position of the keyboard halves. And my first impression is that it really helps removing the nasty effects of RSI."
