The Benefits of Compact
The difference between a full featured keyboard and a compact keyboard is that the compact keyboard does not have a numeric keypad. This makes compact keyboards narrower, reducing the distance and reach required to the mouse. The compact size allows for a more relaxed, natural and centred working position.
Reducing movement outside of the core working position by not reaching for the mouse whilst working, helps reduce RSI issues from occurring.

Low Profile, Low Strain
The low profile of the keyboard keeps wrists flat, helping to prevent and alleviate symptoms of RSI and reduce fatigue. The Ergoapt Compact Keyboard has a low profile design, sloping with a top height of 10mm to a bottom height of 6mm. This height allows for a neutral and more natural wrist position.
Scissor Switch Keys
Scissor switch keys offer a low profile, deliverying short travel times and quiet operation. The keys require a low activation force and deliver a crisp, tactile feel that reduces the effort required to type.
Function and Compact Format
The Ergoapt Compact Keyboard's size reduces the number of keys that the keyboard has. The keyboard still features many functions that a full sized keyboard via keys with dual functions. The Function Key allows for these functions to activate.
Convenient Hot Keys
The Ergoapt Compact Keyboard has 12 Hot keys that provide easy access for popular functions and reduce the need to reach for the mouse.

Troubleshooting:
1. The Keyboard is not charging
The Ergoapt Compact Wireless Keyboard should last up 80 hours when fully charged.
The Keyboard will only charge if plugged into a computer that is powered on. If the Keyboard is plugged into a computer that is switched off or that goes into sleep mode, the Keyboard is not getting charge.
The battery charge level of the Keyboard can be checked by pressing the Fn key and the Alt key on the Keyboard.
The Power indicator light will flash to indicate the current Battery charge level as follows:
Flashes green 4 times = 76% - 100% charge
Flashes green 3 times = 51% - 75% charge
Flashes green 2 times = 26% - 50% charge
Flashes green 1 time = 1% - 25% charge
2. Keys are not working
Keys not working or mistyping can be a result of dust caught underneath the keys. If there is no apparent physical obstruction of the keys, debris may be able to be cleared under the keys by turning the keyboard over and gently tapping the back of the keyboard to see if anything dislodges. Blowing compressed air in and around the keys may also remove debris and solve the issue. Brushing around and underneath the key with a toothbrush or paint brush may also help.
Does the keyboard have power?
To check, switch the keyboard off an then on via the switch on the top right. If the keyboard has power, the "Power" indicator light will flash green. Another way to check, is to press the Caps Lock key. The "Caps Lock" indicator light should illuminate green.
If the lights do not illuminate, try charging the keyboard with the charging cable that the keyboard came with. When the keyboard is plugged in, the "Power" indicator light will turn red. Try charging for 30 minutes and then try using the keyboard again.
If the keyboard has power, it could be a connectivity issue between the keyboard and the USB receiver.
It is recommended, for optimal performance and connectivity, to have the USB receiver plugged directly into the computer, and not a hub or peripheral. Interference from other wireless devices may also impact connectivity, so having the USB receiver as close to the keyboard as possible will also improve connectivity. Changing the USB port that the USB receiver is plugged into may also improve connectivity, if there is an issue with the USB port.
If the keyboard has power, resyncing the keyboard to the USB receiver may resolve the issue, as follows:
- Switch off the keyboard via the switch on the top right side, and unplug the USB
- Switch the keyboard back on
- Hold down the "Esc" button and the "Q" button
- The "Sync" light will flash green once, and then it will begin flashing blue
- While the keyboard and the USB are close to one another, plug the USB receiver in
- The blue light will stop flashing, and the keyboard will be paired to the USB received
If the above does not resolve the issue, try the following:
As the Ergoapt uses generic Plug & Play drivers, sometimes if these drivers have previously been used by another device on the computer or there has been an operating system update, the drivers may not recognise the Ergoapt correctly. Uninstalling the driver may resolve the issue as follows:
While the USB receiver is plugged in, open the Bluetooth and other device settings via Windows Search.
Under the Mouse, keyboard & pen section, select the Ergoapt Keyboard. It will be listed as either Wireless Receiver or Ergoapt Keyboard.
Select Remove device. Confirm that you wish to remove the device.
Remove the USB receiver from the computer.
Switch the keyboard off via the switch on the top right.
Switch the keyboard back on.
Plug the USB receiver back in. The keyboard driver should automatically download.
If the above troubleshooting is ineffective, please contact us with the results of your troubleshooting, and the serial number of your keyboard.
