Kensington Keyboards

Kensington sells almost entirely into workplaces, and its keyboards reflect that — plain, durable, and specified around things IT departments care about.

The distinctive feature across the wireless range is AES 128-bit encryption on the connection between keyboard and receiver. Ordinary wireless keyboards transmit keystrokes unencrypted, which is a genuine consideration in an open office or any environment handling sensitive data.

The EQ models are made substantially from recycled plastic, which matters for organisations with procurement targets to meet.

The range covers wired full-size boards (KB100, KB515), wireless and multi-device rechargeable models (KB150, KB535, KB435) that pair with several machines at once, and ergonomic designs including the Pro Fit Ergo line, which is where Kensington’s reputation is strongest — sculpted layouts intended to keep the wrists neutral over a full day.
