AutoCAD(r) Command Keyboard

EKI's Autocad command keyboard plugs in your PS2 keyboard port, and your keyboard plugs into it, both are operational at the same time. Your mouse is also operational at the same time, giving you three modes of input devices to increase your efficiency.

Application Specific Keyboards (ASK)- EKI's first ASK keyboard is directed at enhancing AutoCAD, an industry-leading product by AutoDesk, Inc. This keyboard optimizes veteran, causal and student users, $299 each, includes stand.

With AutoCAD installed in over a million sites worldwide the applications for this keyboard touch every design and engineering discipline.

Application Specific Keyboards are made to fit the application to increase speed and efficiency, and decrease the learning curve for new users. The keyboard plugs in the PS2 keyboard port on the computer, and the main keyboard plugs into it. There are no device drivers needed. Among the array of command keys are 10 user programmable keys that can be programmed by the user for "pet" keys they use and are not in the standard array. As experienced users know (including EKI’s president Jim Bowen with 16 years of daily use) it's faster to touch the F8 and F9 keys for ortho and snap than it is to move the mouse and click on the icon. Now with the same ease 90 command keys can be touched. One touch gets the command and the "return". The keyboard lets you jump between commands, so if you choose "line" and you decide to use "move" instead, you just touch “move”, and the keyboard automatically cancels and starts the next command. Being an optical keyboard no finger pressure is needed when touching the key. The keyboard comes with a 3-axis stand for positioning between your monitor and keyboard so you don't loose space on your desktop. More ergonomic being in front of you and not to the side. More room on the screen because less tool bars. Great for the veteran user because it's faster and easier than a mouse thus making them more efficient, and also great for the causal user or student because the command name and icon are on the keys. Plus it can be in the user's own language.

EKI opens the door to other software companies that think an application specific keyboard or input device would enhance their products. One touch can output a macro of multiple characters. The keys can be in any color combination, in your language, and with your key arrangement.

And if a user doesn't need 90 keys for one application EKI can put more than one application on one keyboard.

Jim Bowen adds, “nothing will replace the mouse for drawing, or the standard keyboard for inputting text, this keyboard was invented to bridge the “gap”………
