Getting Started - Initial Keyboard Setup
Connecting your keyboard via USB:
1. GTU-0088 Keyboard users, begin by selecting your operating system by adjusting
the switch located on the back of the keyboard to either PC or Mac mode.
GTN-0099 Keyboard users, by default the keyboard ships with the PS2 adapter
connected. To connect via USB simply remove the purple PS2 adapter from the end
of the keyboard cord.
2. With your computer turned on, plug the Goldtouch V2 Keyboard into an open USB
port on your desktop or laptop.
3. Please allow sucient time for Windows or Mac OS to automatically recognize the
keyboard and install the proper drivers.
4. When the system level drivers are installed and Windows or MAC OS setup is
completed, you can begin working.
Additional USB Setup Information
Laptop with Docking Station: If you are using a laptop through a Docking Station, please
connect the keyboard directly into an available USB port on the computer itself for the rst time
conguration and driver installation. Once you have followed the instructions above, you can
connect the keyboard through the Docking Station for regular use.
Desktop or Laptop with Limited USB Ports: We recommend that your keyboard always be
plugged directly into your computer’s USB port if possible. If your computer does not have a
sucient number of USB points you may want to add a powered USB hub or port expander to
accommodate multiple devices (like mice, printers, numeric keypads, PDA’s, etc.).
Multiple Computers via KVM Switch: If you are connecting two or more computers through a KVM
switch, be sure to install the keyboard onto each computer that will be used before connecting it
to the KVM switch. A KVM switch will not allow the drivers to install automatically; therefore it is
necessary to connect the keyboard directly into each computer for proper installation for the rst
time. Be sure that your KVM switch is for USB devices, not PS/2.
Connecting your keyboard via PS2 (available on the GTN-0099)
1. With your computer turned o, plug the purple PS2 Adapter that ships with your
keyboard, on the end of your keyboard cord, into the keyboard PS2 port on your
computer.
2. Turn your computer on. When setup is complete, you can begin working.
Additional setup instructions can be found at www.goldtouch.com/support/user-guides/.

How to adjust the Goldtouch V2
Dialing in personalized comfort.
A leading contributing factor to the development
of computer-related repetitive strain injuries is the
at standard keyboard, which places the forearm and wrist in awkward positions for long
periods of time.
1. Your rst adjustment of your new Goldtouch V2 Keyboard is to adjust the keyboard to
straighten your wrists and forearm along the horizontal plane. Start by releasing the latch on
the top of the keyboard. Now, move the segments until the angle of each panel matches the
natural line created by your ngers across the center row of keys when both your wrists and
forearms are straight and at a comfortable position by your side.
2. Next, hold your hand out straight in front of you with your palm facing down toward the
ground, now relax and rotate your arm (clockwise if your using your right hand, counter-clockwise if you are using your left hand) until you feel a release in pressure — this angle is usually
between 7 and 15 degrees. This is the angle you want to tent your Goldtouch Keyboard to. To
make this adjustment, lift the segments of the keyboard by grasping the segments near the
center – close to the ball, and replicate the angle you found earlier. Don’t forget to keep your
split angle as part of this nal adjustment.
3. Once you’ve made this nal adjustment, lock the lever back into position. You may nd that
over a period of time, these two angles may change. Feel free to continue adjusting the keyboard to dial-in your own personal split and tent angle for greatest comfort.
NOTE: We recommend that you gradually make the above Goldtouch comfort adjustments to allow
yourself time to become acclimated with the Goldtouch Keyboard layout. For a full video demonstration on how to adjust your Goldtouch Keyboard, please visit our video library at www.goldtouch.com/
