The HP 2004 Standard Keyboard represents a design extension of the successful Easy Access keyboards. This new keyboard has the same layout and tactile characteristics as the previous keyboards, but without the hot-keys. Instead, the HP 2004 Standard Keyboard introduces expanded configurability by allowing the keyboard to sit upon the desk at either zero-degree (flat), 6-degree or 12-degree slope through the use of the keyboards tilt legs as previous Easy Access Keyboards only supported 6-degree and 12-degree slope. Hence you receive a wider range of configurable slope options to maximize your comfort when using this keyboard.

The HP 2004 Standard keyboard also simplifies System Administration tasks as no additional reprogramming or redirector software is required to be maintained or supported with this keyboard. The keyboard software device drivers are an integral part of the client operating system.
