Yes, ANSI standards for key activation forces are between 50-60 grams. Key forces on the DataHand keyboard are less than half this force standard. DataHand keys only require 18-22 grams of force, and all DataHand keyboards are tested for standard compliance prior to shipment. How is such a light key touch possible? Most other currently manufactured keyboards are activated by membrane based circuitry. The DataHand system relies on a patented low-force magnetic switch design unavailable on any other keyboard on the market. Remember that the DataHand Ergonomic Keyboard key force is only one half of the story when it comes to chronic workload—the other variable is the finger travel distance required for key activation. For those with special needs because of serious injury in the past, the key forces on the DataHand keyboard can be reduced below the 18-22 gram range. This modification is available as a special option. Individuals experiencing chronic pain from keyboard work should inquire
