Zoek je een supercompact 60% gaming toetsenbord zonder prestaties en comfort op te geven? Het Kinesis Gaming TKO toetsenbord combineert een standaard 60% lay-out met unieke ergonomische features zoals HyperSpace (drievoudige spatiebalk), nul-graden helling en verstelbare tenting. Zo plaats je je muis dichterbij, verklein je reikwijdte en typ of game je comfortabel en ontspannen.
De TKO blijft trouw aan een volledig standaard 60% lay-out. Alle belangrijke toetsen zitten precies waar je ze verwacht, minder gebruikte functies verhuis je naar de Fn-laag. Het unieke aan dit toetsenbord is HyperSpace. Drie afzonderlijke duimtoetsen die standaard spatie zijn, maar die je per stuk programmeert voor skills, layer-switching of shortcuts. Liever klassiek? Klik in 60 seconden de meegeleverde volledige spatiebalk terug. De hotswap-sockets maken wisselen van switches erg eenvoudig. Dual-zone RGB en doubleshot PBT keycaps ronden het premium plaatje af.
Het nul-graden profiel vermindert polsextensie vergeleken met traditionele toetsenborden met positieve helling. Met de uitklapbare pootjes kies je negatieve of positieve tilt én zelfs tenting voor minder voorarmpronatie wat een functie is die je zelden ziet op een compact toetsenbord als deze. Het kleinere oppervlak brengt je muis dichter naar je lichaam, wat de schouders ontlast en overreiken voorkomt.
Kailh Box Red (linear, 45 g) – Soepele, rechtlijnige aanslag zonder voelbare “bump” of klik. Ideaal voor gamen en voor wie lichte toetsaanslagen wil en minimale weerstand prettig vindt.
Kailh Box Brown (tactile, 50 g) – Subtiele tactiele bump zonder klikgeluid. Fijne allround keuze voor wie typt én gamet, met net wat meer feedback om typefouten te beperken.
Kailh Box White (clicky, 50 g) – Duidelijke tactiele bump met klik. Perfect voor fanatieke typisten die hoorbare/voelbare feedback waarderen.

On average, mice take up 30% to as much as 70% of working time behind a monitor. These percentages depend on the work tasks, but there is no denying that they are substantial. Thus, the mouse is still gaining ground on the keyboard, especially with the increasing use of online applications. Still, the mouse has to settle for a marginal place, somewhere to the right of the keyboard. The mouse is even almost out of reach when there is too much "clutter" on the desk or when the desk is too narrow.
Research into causes of RSI complaints
Research by Peper and Harvey (1997) at San Francisco State University demonstrated the relationship between keyboard width and muscle tension in the neck, back, arms and wrists. Mouse users especially report tension complaints of neck, back and arms. These complaints are compounded by chronic tension caused when the cursor must be moved accurately.
Many mouse users hold the index finger still just above the mouse surface, in tense anticipation of the next mouse click. This is another cause of chronic tension in the hand, wrist joint, all the way to the shoulder area.
The effect goes even further, as it also results in high chest breathing. A better working method is to include micro and macro pauses every time we have to wait. Use the waiting time to drop the hands in the lap to rest for a while. Thus, the time spent holding the mouse in the hand can be shortened considerably in favor of recovery time.
Over time, "mouse abuse" can lead to irritation of muscles and tendons and reduced blood flow to the tissues in the hand, arm and shoulder. Before we know it, we are suffering from the chronic overuse condition also known as "mouse arm.
It need not come to this, if we take an ergonomic mouse, appropriate to hand size and work, and take a few simple precautions in terms of posture and behavior.
Prolonged work behind the monitor is low-movement and any variety is mental rather than physical. Progress has advanced to the point where we send emails to colleagues working in the same room. Thus, the body remains statically tethered to the chair and the muscles remain tense at a low, yet unconsciously too high, level while working.
Because we don't notice that relatively low level of tension, because the tension is only 5-10 percent of the level of maximum tightening. That seems almost nothing, but continuous low muscle tension is actually harmful. This is because the muscles are not given a chance to move smoothly and then relax and recover. This, in turn, contributes to the development of mouse arm and carpal tunnel syndrome.
It is therefore important to move around as much as possible and to alternate the work. Even if you have the most ergonomic mouse and the desk is so ergonomically designed, the responsibility for correct use, behavior and frequent change of position lies with you as the user and "owner of your body".
Movable and relaxed neck and shoulder muscles
Many screen users complain of pain in the neck and shoulders. Most probably because the attention is concentrated on the screen and not on the body. The unconscious and slow raising of the shoulders is not noticed. Until it starts to hurt. Also, the neck is often stretched forward to see better. This too strains the muscles unnecessarily. Simple exercises make the tension conscious and only then can the tension be consciously released.
1.Dangle
Let the arms dangle along the body. Draw the shoulders up toward the ears and hold the tension for a moment. Release the shoulders. Pull the shoulders up a little further and release again. Rotate the shoulders around and feel the relaxation. Keep breathing calmly.
2.As a turkey
Pull your neck back as if someone were pulling a string attached to the back of your neck. Just keep your head straight or look down slightly. Keep your shoulders, jaws and tongue relaxed. Continue to breathe easily and relaxed. Stay in this turkey pose for about 5 seconds. Do this exercise 10 times a day.
3.Write with your shoulders
Imagine a very long pencil strapped to the head of your right shoulder. The pencil reaches up to the wall. Write your first name on the wall and do so by moving your shoulder. Now write your last name on the wall with your left shoulder. Repeat this exercise a few times with different texts.
4.Reach for the ceiling
Bring both your arms above your head with your fingers pointing to the ceiling. Breathe with the stretching. Reach toward the ceiling with your left hand, release slightly, then reach toward the ceiling again with the right hand. Go back and forth like this for one minute. As you stretch your right arm upward turn your head to slightly to the left. As your left arm stretches upward you turn your head to the right. Experiment with the direction of the head and arms.
5.The upside-down world of the chair
The wrist is a delicate joint. Muscles, tendons, blood vessels and nerves run through a narrow, fragile tunnel there. Therefore, keep your wrists straight so that nerves are not pinched and blood flow, and thus recovery, is not unnecessarily disrupted. Your hand, just below your little finger, makes an angle with the forearm when you bend your hands outward. This often happens unconsciously when you type or when you mouse. Eventually, a persistent condition called "carpal tunnel syndrome" can develop. Working with bent wrists can also cause discomfort in the neck, shoulders and arms. Therefore, avoid working with bent wrists as much as possible.
Exercises you can do yourself to prevent RSI
Spread the fingers of both hands as far apart as you can. Do this for five seconds while keeping your shoulders and jaws relaxed. Now ball the hands into fists. Do that again for five seconds while keeping your shoulders and jaws relaxed.
Repeat the exercise three times.
Place the palms together and then press the hands down. Keep the palms flat and press them together.
Hold your hands behind your back. Straighten your arms and your elbows. Now push your arms away from your back as far as possible while continuing to breathe calmly and keeping your shoulders relaxed. Then return to the starting position. Relax again.
Repeat the exercise five times.
