ErgoSense ASUS ErgoSense keyboard, comfortable typing experience Your comfort is our highest priority. That’s why the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard has an incredibly satisfying feel, with the optimum key bounce and travel calculated with fine-tuned precision. Experience the ErgoSense keyboard and you’ll soon find yourself cruising effortlessly through your work. Optimal click ratio: Engineered to perfection The feel of a keyboard depends on the crucial ratio between the peak force (also known as the actuation force) and the contact force. Peak force occurs when you press down on the key and reach the maximum force that the key’s underlying rubber dome can withstand without deflecting. Contact force occurs when the bottom of the key touches the circuit board to trigger an electronic signal, which in turn generates the action appropriate to the key. To achieve the most natural feel for a keyboard, ASUS keyboard experts have scientifically determined that the optimal ergonomic click ratio for a key is between 45-60%. These forces are precisely measured and tuned using the ASUS-designed rubber domes beneath the keys. ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus Inhibit 99% of COVID-19, flu virus & bacteria* ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus is applied to frequently touched areas of your laptop to help keep it hygienic. This technology uses a denser treatment* that inhibits viruses and bacteria. And it is scientifically shown — using the ISO 2170211 and 2219612 standards — to inhibit virus and bacteria growth by more than 99% over a 24-hour period4. Strains used for the tests include the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), H3N2 (Influenza A) and the E. coli bacterium13. * ISO 21702 tests for COVID-19, H3N2, H1N1 and ISO 22196 tests for Staphylococcus and E. coli. * Treatments14 are approved by US FIFRA15 & EU BPR16. ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus Viruses and bacteria inhibition Viruses and bacteria are everywhere in our daily life. Antimicrobial Guard Plus inhibits all viruses and bacteria with an envelope (the outermost layer of many types of viruses and bacteria) from the surface of the protected parts. ISO 21702 testing shows that it can inhibit the growth of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), H1N1, H3N2 (Influenza A) and harmful bacteria. ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus Silver ions prevents 99% reproduction ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus is a surface coating21 on the laptop22 that contains positively-charged silver ions. Silver ions and negatively-charged microbial cells are attracted to each other and then pierce the surface to damage their structure, inhibiting reproduction. Without ASUS Antimicrobial Guard Plus, an estimated sample of 10,000 (pfu/ml) cells grew to 28,000 (pfu/ml). Performing the same test with Antimicrobial Guard Plus saw the count reduced to just 16 (pfu/ml) — a growth restriction of more than 99%. User Experience User friendly design ASUS NumberPad 2.0 Vivobook 14 is equipped with optional ASUS NumberPad 2.05 which makes everything much easier when it’s time to crunch numbers: simply tap the touchpad icon to enable number input.
