Two ergonomic keyboard programs developed through DUO Product Design—bringing more natural posture, clearer interaction and faster access to the desktop.
ERGONOMICS / ACCESS / PRODUCTIVITY01The split, gently gabled key field and broad palm rest support a more relaxed working position. Nineteen shortcut and media keys, a full numeric keypad and an integrated two-port USB hub extend the ergonomic platform into a connected productivity tool.
Introduced in 1999, the Natural Keyboard Pro restored the standard navigation layout while adding dedicated internet, email and multimedia access. I could not verify a product-specific design award from a reliable archive, so the case study presents its documented design significance without attaching an unrelated award.
HUMAN FACTORS / ERGONOMICS / INTERACTION02A divided, angled keyboard architecture with generous palm support and a separated numeric keypad—designed to make posture, reach and comfort part of the product experience.
