Working at the office doesn’t have to be a pain, but for a lot of us, the office has become exactly that. As we spend longer hours in front of the computer, typing away on our keyboards, we are developing Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs), like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, at higher rates. The addition of small, portable devices into our lives has only exacerbated the problem. These little computers force us to struggle with tiny keyboards and trackpads in a manner that doesn’t support our joints, hands, or wrists. For businesses, this is bad for the bottom line. After all, workers in pain produce less, have higher absentee rates, and create a higher number of workers’ comp claims. At Goldtouch, we believe it’s time to usher in the age of productivity. Over the years, we’ve created an entire line of ergonomic products — from keyboards to mice, numeric keypads to wrist rests — that are strategically designed to make users more comfortable and more productive by supporting their individual bodies and working styles.

How Can an Ergonomic Keyboard Help Your Business?

  • The Occupational Safety and Health Administration estimates that employers pay $20 billion in workers’ compensation claims every year for RSI-related injuries.
  • On average, for every 1 person who reports RSI-related pain, 15 people do not, letting their injuries worsen until they eventually need to get surgery or drop out of the workplace altogether.
  • Goldtouch has saved dozens of companies millions of dollars (including one company that saved $14 million) just by employing Goldtouch ergonomic solutions throughout their organization.

The Goldtouch V2 Comfort Keyboard

The biggest problem with traditional keyboards is that the keys are laid out straight and flat, causing users to splay their hands in unnatural positions. This is a major contributing factor to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. In contrast, Goldtouch makes ergonomic split keyboards that pull apart in the middle and adjust from 0-30o on both the horizontal and vertical planes to help align and straighten the wrists, arms and shoulders. This allows each individual to find the angle that works best for them and type in the most natural and comfortable position.

Goldtouch ergonomic keyboards are slim and lightweight, making them an attractive addition to any desktop. Even better: Many of our keyboards were created with portability in mind. The Goldtouch Go!2 Mobile Keyboard is an example of our ergonomic mobile keyboards. As more of us work long hours in coffee shops, airplane seats, and hotel rooms, the notion of Mobile Ergonomics has become increasingly important to us, and we’re creating products to address it.

From ergonomic solutions like lightweight travel keyboards workers can slip into briefcases to wrist-friendly numeric keypads that makes number crunching easy, we carry every kind of keyboard to suit each individual’s custom needs, including those that use Mac products. And we sell more than ergonomic keyboards. You can overhaul your entire workspace with one of our Ergo Suites, which combine the products you need to make your workspace fit you.

Top Ergonomic Keyboards For 2019

With 2019 upon us, what are some of the popular ergonomic keyboards for the year? It depends on what your individual needs are, but below are the three most popular keyboards here at Goldtouch.

The second generation of the premier keyboard, the V2 Adjustable Keyboard is as popular as ever. With the ability to adjust up to 30 degrees on both the vertical and horizontal planes, as well as the low key resistance, the V2 is as high quality a keyboard today as it was when it was introduced.

For individuals on the go, the Go!2 Mobile Keyboard is the choice. It also has adjustability up to 30 degrees on both the vertical and horizontal planes and responsive keys. It is lighter with a smaller profile than most ergonomic keyboards, making it great for when you have to carry it around and use it in different locations.

Why is the keyboard designed the way it is?

This is an exceptional product designed to be adjusted to suit your individual body requirements, rather than forcing your body to conform to the keyboard. It provides for personal adaptation of the two alphanumeric sections to help you attain relaxation of the muscles and tendons of the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. In so doing some undesirable awkward postures used in typing can be alleviated.

The Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard allows for you to arrange your workspace to improve comfort and enhance productivity and efficiency. It has a small footprint and embedded numeric keypad so you don’t need to reach as far to access your mouse. Watch our Video, The New Simple, Part 1: Goldtouch Overview for more information.


Where is the Serial Number on the Goldtouch Keyboard?

The serial number is located on the underside of the keyboard. There may be more than one label, so identify the serial number to the right of “S/N” or as a 10-digit code beneath a bar code. For example “9HDY364724”.


How do I know what position to adjust the keyboard to?

Everyone is different and will require different typing positions to suit them and their workstation. For a complete video demonstration of adjustability see our videos page and watch “The New Simple, Part 2: Setting up your Goldtouch keyboard” or any of “The New Simple” videos found under General Info.

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 (ulnar deviation). Rather than have this happen, the Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard splits in the horizontal plane (0° to 30°) relieving this awkward posture. The aim is to allow your wrists to be straight which in turn will increase your comfort level.

Lateral Inclination & Pronation Adjustment:

Placing your hands flat on the keys of a keyboard can require considerable muscular effort. This effort can cause fatigue and discomfort. The keyboard is split into segments so that it can be raised in the center to more closely match the natural alignment of the forearm and wrist. Forcing your hands down flat to the keyboard is a hand movement known as pronation. It is the rotation of the right hand in a counter-clockwise direction and clockwise for the left.

Experiment, give yourself time to familiarize yourself with this new posture and fine tune the adjustment until you feel a sense of relaxation in the wrists, forearms, shoulders and neck.

IMPORTANT: After making this adjustment check that your elbows are at 90° and your forearms are horizontal. If they are not, alter your seat or desk height.

Goldtouch provides a separate 18-key numeric keypad for those who need them.


Can I split the Goldtouch Keyboard into two pieces?

The Goldtouch Adjustable Keyboard is not designed to be split into separate pieces. You should adjust the keyboard vertically and horizontally to fit your particular body type. Separating the Goldtouch keyboard into two pieces voids the product warranty.


What sort of key switches does the keyboard use?

The Goldtouch Keyboard uses rubber dome springs rather than buckling springs as used in the old Lexmark Select-Ease/IBM Options Keyboard. These have a lighter activation force curve and a soft end-stop. It is also much quieter. The force-displacement curve complies with ISO standards and provides crisp tactile feedback.

For more information on rubber domed keys, click here.


Does the keyboard bounce when adjusted?

No, if the keyboard is properly adjusted, no bounce should be experienced when typing. It is necessary to set the keyboard up to be stable on its four feet to stop any wobble. Pull the locking bar mechanism out. With the right hand lifting the back of the keyboard from underneath, place the left thumb on the Goldtouch logo and pull the handle back into the locked position. Each half needs to be pretty even for it not to rock or bounce. If the keyboard still wobbles, pull the locking bar out again and adjust it slightly until you feel the two halves are stable.


What if I think I have a defective key?
Mac

If the key is not producing any characters or the wrong character, the Keyboard may be defective. Please test the keyboard on another computer system and if it is still experiencing the same results. Note that the wrong character display is often the result of key re-mapping, the wrong language selection, the NUMLOCK being on, or the below Word Data key corrupt issue.

If you suspect you may have re-mapped a key, test by typing in Notepad as it utilizes the standard Windows Mapping. This test bypasses any key re-mapping that may have been set in Word, for example, so if you get the desired character in Notepad you have probably re-mapped the key. Please email Support for further assistance.


Why doesn’t my insert key work in Word 2007 or higher?

The insert key being used to control overtyping was disabled in these versions due to support issues.

This function can be restored by following these procedures:

Click the “Office Button”, then “Word Options”, then “Advanced” (on left menu), under the “Editing Options”, check the “Use insert key to control overtype mode” Do not click “use overtype mode” under submenu or insert key will be disabled. You will now be able to use the Insert key once you return to typing your document.


Why doesn’t my insert key work in Outlook 2007 or 2010?

This function can be restored by following one of these procedures:

For Outlook 2007:

You will now be able to use the Insert key once you return to typing your document.

For Outlook 2010:

First start a new message and then click “File”, then “Options”, then “Mail”, then “Editor Options”, then “Advanced” and then check “Use the Insert key to control overtype”. You will now be able to use the Insert key once you return to typing your document.


How to Reset Corrupted Microsoft Word Data Key

Follow the steps in the link below to fix a corrupted Word Data Key. Microsoft provides a Fix-It Utility, or, manual steps to correct a corrupt Word Data Key at the following link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/822005/how-to-reset-user-options-and-registry-settings-in-word

One of the symptoms of a corrupted Word Data Key is that incorrect characters are typed into MS Word, or MS Outlook only if using Word as your default editor.


Pressing a key on the keyboard does not wake the computer. How can I change that?

Some Power management Settings in the Computer System BIOS and in combination with Windows Power Management Settings can cause the USB ports to provide limited or insufficient power needed to operate USB devices.

The system BIOS must be configured for S1 suspend mode. The wake key does not work when the BIOS is configured for S3 standby because the keyboard is not powered. This is normal. The system fans are typically off during S3 standby.

Please refer to your computer system manual or contact your system manufacture for assistance with BIOS setting adjustments. Note: we are not responsible to damages to your computer system if BIOS settings are adjusted incorrectly.

The power management setup instructions vary depending on the Windows Operating system you are using.

Below are some instructions for configuring the Power management options for Windows 7, Vista and XP.

  1. Open the Keyboard control panel.
  2. In Windows Vista or Windows 7, Click Start, type keyboard in the Start Search box, and then click Keyboard or Microsoft Keyboard in the Programs list.
  3. In Windows XP and earlier versions, click Start, click Run, type Control keyboard, and then click OK.
  4. Open the Keyboard control panel item, as described in Method 1.
  5. Click the Hardware tab, and then click Properties.
  6. Click the Change Settings button
    *Note This step requires Administrator access
  7. Click the Power Management tab, and then verify that the, “Allow this device to wake the computer” is enabled.
  8. Click OK, and then click OK again.

Keyboard does not work when the computer resumes from sleep mode unless I unplug and plug back in the USB keyboard. How do I fix this?

There are 2 possible solutions for this issue:

1. The device is not configured to wake the computer.

  • From the device manager, navigate to and expand the Keyboards section.
  • Select the device from the list and Right Click, select Properties
  • Navigate to the Power Management tab and ensure that the setting: “Allow this device to wake the computer.” is checked.

Note: If this setting is not present, your OS may not support it, or it is disabled in your BIOS. Steps to checking/updating BIOS settings are below in Solution #2.

2. The BIOS is not configured to allow USB devices to wake the computer. Only perform these steps if method 1 was not successful.

Every computer manufacturer has unique settings in the BIOS, and many users are unfamiliar with these settings. This is just a general guideline for attempting resolution to this issue via BIOS settings.

  • Enter the BIOS using the function key displayed while your computer is booting. Typically the computer displays something similar to “Press F2 or Del to enter Setup”.
  • Once in the BIOS, look for the section referring to Power Management. Enable any settings that refer to USB devices allowed to wake computer from suspend, hibernate, sleep, or other power save mode.
  • Save your settings, the computer will reboot.

NOTE: You may need to perform Solution #1 steps subsequent to final resolution.


How do I control the default NumLock function?

The Numlock Function is controlled by the system BIOS. Most computer manufactures allow for the Numlock feature to be Enabled/Disabled from within the system BIOS. This disables the Numlock at the most basic hardware level, prior to the operating system loading.

Essentially the system BIOS “tells” your keyboard to turn on NUMLOCK at boot time or , when your system comes out of sleep or hibernation mode. On most standard keyboards this feature is never noticeable because the keypad is separately integrated into the keyboard. The Goldtouch keyboard has a keypad integrated into the right side of the keyboard, turning the keyboard itself into the keypad. This can be problematic when trying to enter passwords at login time. Usually the NUMLOCK can be turned off by pushing the NUMLOCK key to get around it at power up or boot time but some BIOS’s do prevent the bypass until the system gets past the initial system POST.

There are two places where the NumLock on/off can be configured. One is in the System BIOS and the other is the system Registry. The ideal change to make is the System Bios, not the Registry, as the BIOS also affects how the computer behaves when coming out of sleep or hibernation mode.

1) System BIOS Change

Most computer manufactures allow for the Numlock feature to be Enabled/Disabled from within the system BIOS. This disables the Numlock at the most basic hardware level, prior to the operating system loading.

System BIOS settings are typically accessed by hitting a certain key (like F2) when the system first comes on (a computer typically has a message on the screen at boot regarding which key, or key combination, to press to enter Bios Settings/System Configuration), this is where your NumLock setting is coming from. Each manufacturer is different so you may need to refer to the machine’s manual for BIOS configuration options for the exact process.

There will be a setting under your BIOS/Peripherals/Keyboard that sets whether NumLock is on or off at system boot. The only options are typically NumLock On or NumLock Off. These options are reapplied after the system comes out of sleep mode so changing the BIOS is the best option available.

2) Registry Update(Use this option only if turning off the NumLock feature in System BIOS above does not work).

The second place the Numlock can be set is in the Operating System which you will note, turns on the Numlock after Windows start (you see the Windows Login screen). To configure the NumLock feature within Windows use the following procedure.

Note -Please do not modify the Windows Registry unless you are familiar. We are not responsible for any damage to your Operating System when modifying the Windows registry.

Please use the following string to adjust the Numlock settings for Windows:
Your System Administrator may need to perform these steps, as it may require Administrator privileges.

To disable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, follow these steps:

  1. Run Registry Editor.
  2. Move to HKEY_USERS.DefaultControl PanelKeyboard.
  3. Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators to 0.

We have seen issues with Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA) environments with certain computer manufactures (Toshiba) due to the lack of BIOS options for enabling/disabling Numlock at the boot level.

We have discovered that the BIOS will send Numlock (ON) calls to the PBA causing the Numlock feature to remain on. This causes the Function enabled 10-Key to be enabled when the user is entering the PBA Password.

We have tested this extensively and discovered that it is not a problem with the PBA Client, or the Keyboard, but a limitation caused by the limited BIOS options.


Computer won’t boot or the keyboard is not recognized.

Please Note: This FAQ is most relevant for the KFK model keyboard with the PS/2 connector.

Make sure the keyboard is connected directly to the computer systems PS/2 or USB port depending on which Keyboard model is being used.

We have seen some issues with using a PS/2 to USB adaptor. Please use a PS/2 to USB Converter as it not only changes the Plug type to fit the computer system, it includes smart circuitry to convert the signals.

If you have ruled out the Converter and have tried all possible ports on the computer system, try connecting to a different type of computer to determine if the issue is the computer system or the keyboard.

We have received positive feedback from customers using the following Converter:


USB Device not detected, or Unknown Device.

This is commonly an issue with the motherboard. The motherboard needs to be reset, and will only reset if the computer is completely disconnected from its power source.

To resolve the problem follow these simple steps:

Desktop Computer:

  1. Shut down Windows
  2. Unplug the computer completely from the power source for 1 minute.
  3. Plug in and restart Windows

Laptop Computer:

  1. Shut down Windows
  2. Remove the battery from the laptop for one minute.
  3. Re-insert the battery and restart Windows.
