The Evolution of the Keyboard

Learn how the standard keyboard layout used today dates back to the 19th century.


Standard Keyboard

The design of the standard keyboard was grandfathered in from the original typewriter layout - established in the 1870s. It forces the hand, wrists, and shoulders out of alignment, causing strain and injury with extended use. The added length places the mouse outside the comfort zone, creating arm and shoulder strain.

Conventional Ergonomic Keyboard

While the typical ergonomic design improves position for some users, it doesn't solve the pain problem for many others. Conventional ergonomic keyboards still conform to the "staggered columns" layout, remaining from the typewriter era, which forces unbalanced motions straining the fingers, hands and wrists as much as standard keyboards do.

TypeMatrix 2030 Keyboard

The 2030 is unique in that it strikes the perfect balance between ergonomics and design: Matrix design that reduces the motions known to cause Repetitive Strain Injury, AND intelligent rearrangement of the keys that places the hands, wrists and shoulders in a neutral position.
