Lights, Camera ... Action!

We are in the middle of producing some fantastic new videos. Having drafted in the services of the next Spielberg, Ollie Robbins (pictured), we a
re hoping to bring many of Keytools products and services to life.

So far we have filmed our ergonomic workstation, including the height adjustable table, and demonstrated some of the ergonomic mouse options.

On the lighter side, we have also included some "office olympics" with two new sports - mouse curling and Herman Miller chair bowling!

So we are off to the edit suite and then we will show you the videos when they are ready!

Goldtouch Ergonomic Keyboard - reducing RSI

It's not just people with Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) who use the Goldtouch ergonomic keyboard.

You can help prevent RSI happening if keyboards are adjusted to your individual needs.

Standard keyboards force your hands and wrists into an unnatural and harmful position.

The Goldtouch Keyboard is the only fully adjustable ergonomic keyboard on the market.

Split into two sections, it allows the most comfortable position possible and prevents the risk of repetitive strain injury.

Take a look at this clip (filmed a few years ago!) to see it in action...



That's John Niven, one of our experts on RSI. What he doesn't know, isn't worth knowing!

Keytools hit the road

We were delighted to see so many of you at the Keytools Roadshow last month. We visited London, Manchester, Coventry and Southampton.

Here's a snap of Sales Manager, Phil Guest, talking to HEFE staff about vision impairment.

Our aim was to give you a better understanding of IT access for students and staff, and let you test and evaluate the best products on the market.



We had some really good feedback...

"I found it very helpful and a good, unique way of presenting new products. I also thought you were very honest about issues that other companies are sometimes not."
Ben Winstanley, Lecturer in Additional Support, Hugh Baird College

We're running more events this year. The first is a free demo session on EasyConverter, Dolphin's Altformat software. It will be held at our Southampton Showroom and you can book places by clicking here.

You can visit the Keytools Showroom anytime to test our products and ask our team of experts for help and advice. You can make an appointment by completing this form.

We hope to see you soon.

The Study of Egos?!

Microsoft have just done a study on Ergonomics. They found out that:
  • Only a quarter of businesses are aware of the cost of RSI to their business each year. (It is costing the UK almost 300m pounds!)
  • One third of workers do not think their company is currently doing enough about the health and safety of employees
  • Nearly 8 out 10 employees have suffered aches and pains as a result of their physical working environment
It was fairly obvious from the results that some people were still in the dark...!!!


If you are reading this blog, you will already be aware of the importance of ergonomics (!), but there may be some areas you haven't yet considered.


RSIGuard - Is a software package which monitors the way you use your computer and tells you exactly what to do to prevent RSI. It's got some great exercises to do which make cause some raised eyebrows at work!


Wireless Pen Mouse - you can use this for presentations and as a remote control, as well as a mouse. You don't need a mouse mat and it works on all surfaces.


Herman Miller Chairs - They call them the most comfortable chairs in the world! We have a Herman Miller expert at Keytools called Steve Porter. Give him a call with any questions - 023 8029 4500.

There are tons of things you can do to make your workspace Ergonomic!
