Abstract

A keyboard arrangement and particularly an ergonomic keyboard arrangement is provided which includes, in particular, keyboard blocks (5, 6) that are arranged in the shape of a V for ergonomic operation. In order to be able to vary the V-shaped arrangement of the keyboard blocks (5, 6), one or a plurality of hinges (14, 15) are provided. Moreover, in order to accommodate the keyboard blocks (5, 6), the keyboard housings (2, 3) can be displaced laterally by means of long holes that are arranged in a transverse web in the upper region of the housing so as to vary the distance between the keyboard blocks (5, 6).
