Description
The Kinesis mWave (Black) is redesigned for today’s modern workspace, combining ergonomic comfort, a premium experience, and advanced features. It’s the ideal replacement for those familiar with split design keyboards like the Microsoft Sculpt who struggled to find a suitable alternative with both wired and wireless Bluetooth connectivity.
Key Features
Fully Programmable
Connect the mWave to your PC with the included USB cable and launch the Clique Web App to reprogram ANY key (Chrome & Edge Browser Required)
Backlighting
Connect the keyboard through USB to activate illumination on the top key legends, helping minimise eye strain in dim lighting. Adjust the brightness across three levels to suit your environment.
Integrated Keypad
Tap the FN Key to access the standard keypad actions with your right hand from the home row. Keypad actions are legended on the front of the keycap.
Mechanical Switches
Gateron Low Profile Mechanical Key Switches (KS-33 2.0). These low profile tactile mechanical switches feature a low actuation force and a full buffer zone for less bottoming out.
Tactile Home Row & Arrows
Find the home row and arrow keys without taking your eyes off the screen thanks to their unique sculpted shape. Sculpted keys are specifically designed to facilitate touch typing, the distinct shape of these keys provide tactile feedback, significantly improving typing speed and overall efficiency.
Dual Connectivity & Multi Channel
Connect via USB Wired, Bluetooth Wireless. Pair up to 2 Bluetooth devices and switch between them instantly. Use the 3 position profile switch to control which device the keyboard sends keystrokes to.
Ergonomic Features
Fixed Split Design
The split design places your hands closer to shoulder width, promoting correct typing posture and reducing ulnar deviation. This setup helps you keep a natural posture, letting your arms rest comfortably beside you instead of reaching outward.
Integrated Tenting
Tenting elevates the thumb side of the hand to reduce form pronation caused by flat keyboards. This adjustment helps to minimise forearm pronation, promoting a healthier alignment during typing.
Integrated Palm Support
The soft, washable palm rest encourages a neutral typing position, helping to minimise wrist extension. Proper palm support allows your wrists to stay naturally aligned, reducing strain.
Compact Tenkeyless Layout
Tenkeyless layout with embedded keyboard results in a smaller footprint for closer mouse placement. Keep the mouse within easy reach encourages a more natural arm position, promoting better posture and reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries.
*Note: Keyboard comes with Windows Keycaps, the manufacturer sells macOS keys separately, although not required for macOS to function.
