EXPANDED KEYBOARDS

 

The MALTRON EXPANDED keyboard has been robustly designed with a strong steel construction to withstand heavy use, and a nylon coating for a smooth wipe-clean surface. It provides enhanced access for physically disabled and visually impaired users.

The large area (23cm x 62cm) surface area and built in keyguard are designed to reduce keyboard errors, enabling a higher work rate as a result of more accurate typing and data input

It has large, clear characters and key labels - black on white for alphanumeric and cursor keys, black on pink for function keys and black on yellow for control keys (alternative options are available if required).

  • A Shift Lock key - this key is provided to allow the shift function to be locked on
