Apple Adjustable Keyboard
Apple's first and only ergonomic keyboard, introduced in 1993. Its split alphanumeric section hinges open up to 30 degrees to keep wrists in a neutral position, with detachable palm rests and a separate numeric keypad.Apple 首款、也是唯一一款人體工學鍵盤,於 1993 年推出。其字母鍵區可向上展開最多 30 度,讓手腕保持自然姿勢,配備可拆式掌托與獨立數字鍵盤。
Despite its ergonomic ambitions, Apple discontinued it in 1994 after criticism of its build quality — its first and last adjustable keyboard.儘管立意良善,Apple 卻因做工遭批評而於 1994 年停產——這是它第一款、也是最後一款可調式鍵盤。
The Apple Adjustable Keyboard (M1242), introduced in 1993, was Apple's first and only ergonomic keyboard. Its alphanumeric section split into two hinged halves that opened up to 30 degrees, with detachable palm rests and a separate numeric keypad housing the function and navigation keys. Using Alps SKFS switches and connecting via the Apple Desktop Bus, it was designed to reduce repetitive strain — but lukewarm reception and criticism of its build quality led Apple to discontinue it in 1994.Apple Adjustable Keyboard(M1242)於 1993 年推出,是 Apple 首款、也是唯一一款人體工學鍵盤。其字母鍵區分成兩個以鉸鏈相連的半部,最多可展開 30 度,配備可拆式掌托,以及一個包含功能鍵與方向鍵的獨立數字鍵盤。它採用 Alps SKFS 鍵軸、以 Apple Desktop Bus 連接,旨在減輕重複性勞損——但市場反應平平、做工亦遭批評,Apple 遂於 1994 年停產。
