Istruzioni per l'uso

Digitazione e layout di base

The Balance Keyboard features a standard QWERTY layout with a full numeric keypad.

Function Keys (F1-F12) and Media Controls

The top row of keys serves dual functions. By default, they may act as media controls (e.g., volume, play/pause) or shortcuts. To access the traditional F1-F12 functions, use the Fn key, typically located near the bottom left of the keyboard. Some keyboards feature an Blocco Fn feature to toggle between these modes.

Inclinazione regolabile

The keyboard is designed with adjustable legs to allow for three different tilt positions: negative, neutral, and positive. Adjusting the tilt can help optimize your typing posture and reduce wrist strain.

1. Inclinazione negativa: Tilts the keyboard downwards towards the user, often considered optimal for a natural hand angle.
2. Neutral Tilt: The keyboard lies flat on the desk.
3. Inclinazione positiva: Tilts the keyboard upwards away from the user, a more traditional keyboard angle.

To adjust, locate the adjustable feet on the underside of the keyboard and extend or retract them as desired.

The Balance Keyboard is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Contour Design RollerMouse Pro and SliderMouse Pro devices. Its compact design minimizes the distance you need to reach, promoting a more centralized and ergonomic workspace.
