Maltron Keyboard is an ergonomically designed computer keyboard by Lilian Malt and Stephen Hobday in the 1970s to prevent the carpel tunnel syndrome or other repetitive strain injuries.
The heart of the Maltron Keyboard is the key switch. The Cherry MX switches are considered the best keyboard switches in the industry. Cherry switches are known to last 50 million key strokes per key! Cherry MX key switch is specifically designed to reduce the the pressure to the users fingers and hands. The key switches activate HALF WAY thru the key stroke – means that the user does not have to pound the keys into the base of the keyboard, thus it significantly reduced the stress to the human body and prevent the carpel tunnel syndrome or other repetitive strain injuries.

Additionally, with a the keys being placed in a position more suitable to fit your fingers, you will be able to type faster. Many users report that the Maltron Keyboard increased their speed by 20%, though each individual person will experience different results.
