About this deal

Adjustable Ergonomic mice are hinged along one side and allow for the mouse to alternate between a flatter more traditional position and the vertical, this encourages a variable wrist position and can help move from a normal mouse to a vertical. Yes. All PC keyboards can be plugged into an Apple computer, and macOS will remap the modifier keys to work with the operating system. However, realize that although you have a PC keyboard connected, the Microsoft Windows keyboard shortcuts do not work with macOS. Also, if the keyboard has special keys or functions, they may not all work or activate with macOS. How to reinstall a keyboard Some more advanced USB keyboards (e.g., gaming USB keyboard) have two USB cables. One of these cables is for the keyboard, and the other is for USB port(s) on the keyboard for other USB devices. If you only need the keyboard, only one of these cables can be connected. Connecting a wireless keyboard Ergonomic keyboards are designed to promote a better typing position for your hands and wrists and therefore reduce the chance of strains and discomfort that can ultimately lead to significant issues such as Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). Ergonomic keyboards ‘split’ the keyboard in two, placing each half on a curve so your arms are at a more comfortable, relaxed angle when typing. The second type talks the AT protocol on one side and the USB protocol on the other, being essentially itself a small computer that converts between the two. These will often look a little bit larger, but not always:

Some ergonomic keyboards are on a fixed curve, on others, the two halves are hinged in the middle so the angle can be adjusted and on some the two halves are completely separate and only joined by a connecting wire.

One simply connects the wires, changing the connection from a mini-DIN to a USB connector, with no protocol changes at all. These work only with modern keyboards that know how to do both AT (more often called "PS/2") and USB keyboard protocols, and automatically switch depending on what they're plugged into. In other words, what's happening with these is that the protocols is already USB at the PS/2 connector, and the adapter is just changing the connector shape. They typically look like this:

A compact keyboard frees-up desk space and allows you to bring your mouse (or other things you use) closer to your centreline, which helps to reduce the chance of strains by over-extending. Writing a USB driver on your new PC to bypass the USB protocol is probably impossible as the USB ports are likely to be driven by a dedicated chip.Just like the name suggests, a keyboard driver is a set of files or data that allows the keyboard to run on your system with ease. The driver defines how a device, in this case, the keyboard, will respond to your commands as a user. Graphics tablets these require a specialist tablet to write on, but the pens they use are more pen-like than pen mice and generally more comfortable to hold. Hence, by updating the Keyboard drivers you can keep your Keyboard stable for long ages. But, many individuals have reported that after updating the drivers still the issue isn’t fixed. If you are one of them, then we advise you to first uninstall the drivers and then reinstall it again.
