2. Setup

Connecting the Keyboard:

The Microsoft LXM-00001 Ergonomic Keyboard uses a standard USB connection for plug-and-play functionality. No additional software or drivers are typically required for basic operation on compatible Windows systems.

The keyboard features adjustable feet on the underside to customize the typing angle for optimal comfort. These feet can be extended to raise the back of the keyboard, providing a slight incline.

• Turn the keyboard over to access the underside.
• Locate the two adjustable feet at the top corners of the keyboard.
• Gently flip out the feet to raise the keyboard to your preferred angle. Ensure both feet are extended evenly for stability.

3. Operating Instructions

Basic Usage:

Once connected, the keyboard functions like a standard QWERTY keyboard. The split design encourages a more natural hand and wrist position, reducing pronation.

Shortcut Keys:

The keyboard includes dedicated shortcut keys for enhanced productivity. These keys are typically located above the main typing area or integrated into the function row (F1-F12).

• Office 365 Key: Provides quick access to Microsoft Office applications.
• Emoji Key: Opens the emoji panel for quick access to emoticons.
• Search Key: Initiates a system-wide search function.

Integrated Number Pad:

The full-size number pad on the right side of the keyboard allows for efficient data entry and calculations. Ensure 'Num Lock' is activated (indicated by an LED light) for the number pad to function correctly.

4. Ergonomics and Comfort

The Microsoft LXM-00001 Ergonomic Keyboard is designed with user comfort as a priority. The split and sloped key layout helps align your hands, wrists, and forearms in a more natural position, reducing muscle strain and discomfort often associated with traditional flat keyboards.

The integrated palm rest, covered in a soft, premium fabric, provides continuous support for your wrists, preventing them from bending at awkward angles. This design promotes a neutral wrist posture, which is crucial for long-term ergonomic health.
