Product Information

Full details

The BakkerElkhuizen S-board 840 is designed for office professionals seeking an ergonomic and productive typing experience in a compact form factor. Its key benefit lies in its space-saving design and comfortable scissor-action keys, which promote better posture and reduce strain. A potential caveat is its tenkeyless layout, which may require adjustment for users heavily reliant on a numeric keypad.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the benefit of the compact, tenkeyless design?

The tenkeyless design removes the numeric keypad, allowing you to place your mouse closer to the keyboard. This reduces reaching distance, promoting a more natural and ergonomic posture, which can help prevent strain in your forearms and shoulders.

How do I use the numeric keypad if my keyboard doesn't have one?

The S-board 840 features an integrated numeric field that can be activated by pressing the separate `NumLock` key. This allows you to use the number keys in the center of the keyboard as a numeric keypad when needed.

Is this keyboard suitable for gaming?

While the S-board 840 is designed for office productivity, its scissor key switches offer a responsive feel. However, it lacks features common in dedicated gaming keyboards such as mechanical switches or customizable RGB lighting.

Can I adjust the typing angle of the keyboard?

Yes, the keyboard has feet that can be folded out to adjust the typing angle. For a more neutral wrist posture, it is recommended to keep the feet folded in when typing blindly (touch typing).

What operating systems is the S-board 840 compatible with?

The S-board 840 is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

What is the purpose of the multimedia keys?

The 12 multimedia keys provide quick access to common media functions like play/pause, volume control, track skipping, and browser functions such as opening email or a new tab, which can significantly speed up your workflow.

Does the keyboard have a backlight?

No, the BakkerElkhuizen S-board 840 does not feature a backlight. The keys are designed with high contrast dark lettering on white keycaps for optimal readability in standard lighting conditions.

How do I clean the keyboard?

Disconnect the keyboard, then wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure it is completely dry before reconnecting.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard is not recognized by the computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try connecting to a different USB port. Restart your computer. If using a USB hub, try connecting the keyboard directly to the computer.

Some keys are not working

Check for any debris lodged under the keys. For spillages, disconnect the keyboard immediately and allow it to dry thoroughly before testing again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

USB ports on the keyboard are not functioning

Verify that the keyboard is properly connected to the host computer. Ensure the connected device is drawing minimal power. Try connecting a different, low-power USB device to confirm the ports' functionality.

Typing feels unresponsive or sluggish

Ensure the keyboard is connected directly to the computer and not through a passive USB hub. Check for any background software that might be interfering with input. Clean the keys as per the care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This keyboard is compatible with major operating systems including Windows (Windows keys supported), Mac operating systems, and Linux. Its standard USB interface ensures broad compatibility with most desktop and laptop computers.

Care: To maintain your keyboard, disconnect it from the computer. Clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth.
