Created by Lenovo’s Design Innovation Team, Lenovo Go Wireless Split Keyboard and Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse are a set of computer accessories that are designed to ease pressure on muscles and joints engineered for maximum end-user comfort and encourage optimal posture to enhance productivity.

Both Lenovo Go Wireless Split Keyboard and Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse have been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

Lenovo Go Wireless Split Keyboard has an island-style key at 13-degree angles, promoting straighter wrists when typing to relieve the pressure on wrist joints, usually associated with regular keyboards.

Each key zone is vertically tented at 11 degrees, enabling arm muscles to be at a more relaxed, natural angle and reduce strain when typing.

The keyboard’s front end can be risen 4 degrees higher than the rear, countering the regular keyboard experience of typing upwards, which can lead to wrist strain and carpal tunnel syndrome.

This negative tilt riser is detachable, and useful when typing on a lower working surface or standing.

Positioned flatly in the traditional way, the home and arrow keys are always within easy reach when typing.

The Lenovo Go Wireless Vertical Mouse goes beyond the norm to help reduce the stress on hands laid flat on tables for excessively long periods.

Replicating the natural handshake position with a 45-degree palm grip for longer-term comfort and reduced strain.

Compared to the constant stress on wrist joints from using a traditional mouse, our design promotes the use of the larger arm muscles, thereby reducing: pronation – the muscle strain when the forearm’s bone and muscle cross with each other; carpal Tunnel Syndrome – the strain on the wrist area resulting from prolonged contact of the wrist on a surface; and ulnar and radial deviation – the strain resulting from the movement of the palm away from its natural position.

The angle and curvature of the mouse provide a comfortable resting area for the palm, promoting a more natural handshake position, while there’s a thumb rest for extra comfort.

The left/right keys follow the mouse’s shape and are designed to be clicked seamlessly, the side buttons are conveniently located along the apex of the mouse’s curves, and the middle button is well-positioned for DPI adjustment while avoiding any accidental clicks.
