System requirements
PC with installed OS Windows XP or Vista, with a USB 1.1 (or better 2.0) port; Mac OS X 10.5.1 or higher.

At least 20 MB of free space on hard drive.

At least 256 MB of RAM.

In order to extend the service life of the displays and avoid using cables that may be vulnerable to wear, the screens embedded in the keytops are fixed—it’s only the transparent caps that are pressed.

Every button on the keyboard (or, more precisely, a module consisting of a moving cap, a microchip and a display) can be easily removed to clean or replace.

The keyboard is highly customizable. Configurator software enables users to program each button to reproduce a sequence of symbols and edit images separately for each layout.
