Matias\u00a0Half Keyboard<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0The half QWERTY 508 keyboard allows the user to type with one hand without needing to learn or use any additional skills.\u00a0The keyboard uses rubber dome\u00a0keyswitches for increased tactile feel\u00a0and resistance that\u00a0reduces\u00a0long-term fatigue.<\/p>\n
