Hydra Cable

The unique 4-in-1 Hydra
Cable features USB, PS/2,
and ADB connectors for use
with current model and older
PCs and Macs.

10 Year Warranty

The Half-QWERTY Keyboard is built around a
rugged metal keyframe that’s designed to last.
It comes with a 10 year few-questions-asked
warranty, but should last much longer.

2-port

USB hub

Nothing beats the
convenience of an in-
keyboard USB hub for
quickly connecting your
mouse, digital camera, MP3
player, keychain hard drive, or other USB device.

International Layout Support

The Half-QWERTY’s built-in keyboard shortcuts
and your computer’s control panels allow you
to easily emulate non-US keyboard layouts.

Easy to read key legends

For easy reference, each
key is clearly labelled with
all of the characters and
functions of both regular and
one-handed typing modes.

Mechanical Key Switches

The Half-QWERTY keyboard uses high-quality
Alps mechanical key switches, with enhanced
tactile feedback for greater comfort and faster
typing speeds.

Ideal for One-Handedness, Hemiplegia, Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome and other hand-related injuries

The innovative Half-QWERTY Keyboard from Matias is a
standard desktop keyboard that allows those with limited or
no use of one hand to continue typing with the other hand in
an easy and natural manner.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other typing-related injuries
don’t always occur in both hands. In cases where only one
hand is affected, you can type with the other hand, while the
injured one heals.

The

educated choice

Matias has proudly served the needs of the disability
community for over 10 years. Its technology is the de facto
standard for one-handed typing in the industry.

Easy to use

Half-QWERTY’s one-handed typing technique uses the same
relative fi nger movements as regular touch-typing. This
unique “skill transfer” design makes the transition to one-
handed typing fast and easy.
