Keyboards and mice force arms forward and fix the body in an unhealthy position.
This physical load impacts professionals
that need to use their keyboard and mouse intensively and results in high prevalence of complaints of the wrist, arm, neck, and/or shoulder (CANS/RSI) and fatigue.

• Specific CANS is diagnosed as mouse arm, office shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome (wide range of publications; extremely high monthly volume of internet searches into solutions) 
• A-specific CANS is perceived as general fatigue or heightened stress and results in end-of-day tiredness, the need for breaks, physiotherapy, shorter work weeks, job switches or absence due to work-related illness, such as CANS or burnout (CBS, TNO; our own Laurens). 

Though there have been previous attempts to build a wearable keyboard, they all had huge learning curves (due to quirky layouts or abnormal hand positioning or both) that prevented them from mass adoption.

Additionally 3D printing technology has only recently reached a maturity to allow for rapid functional prototype iteration. This has turned out to be indispensable for a deceptively difficult job of engineering the ergonomic correctly.

Further, Typeware has achieved several technological breakthroughs, based on advancements in sensor technology

Typeware's flagship product is unique:

A. it is much more ergonomic than current ergonomic computer input devices, as it breaks users free from fixed, hunched postures. The founder of invented the product to fix this exact problem for himself and others like him.

B. the only mobile and desk-free computer input device that uses mechanical keys and the keyboard layout that you are used to. This protects worker productivity and minimizes the adjustment period. And last but not least, this enables computer users to productively work from anywhere, while standing up, sitting down, laying down or walking.

C. The only full keyboard device with integrated mouse that works spatially. This means it can be used in all realities: VR, AR and XR and physical reality.

Typeware presents a new, healthy and future-proof way of working with computers. The practicality, mobility and ergonomics of the product stimulates wide adoption. See picture of transcended market segments.

In the Netherlands, 45% of the people work 6+ hours/workday on the computer, of which 45% experiences Complaints of Arm, Neck, and Shoulder (CANS).

This means that 20% of the active Dutch workforce (= almost a million Dutch people) experience computer RSI.

If 45% of the 178 million individuals that work 6+h/workday with the computer and are based in high-income, highly digital-ready countries experience complaints, this would total to a serviceable addressable market of €299*0,45*178442500=
€ 24 009 438 375.

Of course, we do not forecast to capture this full market. We plan to conquer specific market segments using a multiple beachhead strategy. For more investor info, get in touch</a>.

Yes, RSI is not a thing of the past; Even the youngest generations in the work force experiences CANS/RSI (TNO/Amsterdam UMC; SWZ; our own Theo).

The youngest generations still suffer significantly from RSI, also referred to as CANS (Complaints of Arm, Neck, and Shoulder).

• Persistent Problem: Dutch researcher Dr. Marijke Dekker (Delft University of Technology) demonstrated that RSI remains a constant, high-level threat for students and young generations (Gen Z) due to high screen time and psychosocial pressure.
• Severe Impact: For younger generations, these physical complaints are not just minor discomforts; they lead to an average study delay of 24 months or even force students to drop out entirely.
• The Numbers: According to data from the Dutch RSI Association and TNO, about 24% of desk and screen workers (including young professionals) suffer from neck, shoulder, and arm complaints. Furthermore, over 1 in 4 young workers (ages 18–35) experience burnout symptoms, which directly accelerate and worsen physical RSI due to increased muscle tension.

Learning curve of Typeware One is minimal — if you can type with ten fingers, you can use it.

Random visitors of Dutch Design Week could type words within 5 minutes and visitors of the High Tech Campus Open Day could type even faster.

With the on-screen assistant, you can change the layout for the mechanical keys from QWERTY to AZERTY or QWERTZ or other, and set your own favorite keyboard combinations. This makes the changes to your way of working minimal.

We're now implementing extra haptic feedback via vibrations and will develop an onboarding game to further minimalize the learning curve.

Typeware works with Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS & Android.

Typeware also works with Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and other XR devices via Bluetooth.

We're making the device compatible for most hands of adults with a height between 1.60m and 1.95m. A device for children is at the end of our post-GTM roadmap.

A custom-made, premium product is part of our long-term roadmap. Children's sizes are also on our long-term roadmap.

We plan to first sell to prosumers via e-commerce, as we found that our target group usually buys ergonomic devices this way. When we've gathered enough testimonials and user-generated content from customers and experts, we will proactively sell to companies and employers.
