Targus Full-Size Wireless Eco-Friendly Office Keyboard
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Targus Full-Size Wireless EcoSmart™ Keyboard (AKB873AP-50) - 3 Years Local Warranty
A full-size keyboard built around lower environmental impact
Targus built the EcoSmart keyboard from up to 85% post-consumer recycled materials without compromising on the full 104-key layout that Singapore offices expect. It suits any desk that needs a proper number pad, full function-key row, and dedicated navigation cluster — from finance teams running spreadsheets to reception desks doing daily data entry. The recycled-material construction matters for organisations tracking their own sustainability procurement targets, since it gives IT buyers a documented, lower-impact alternative to a standard plastic keyboard without a price premium in performance.
Dual wireless modes for flexible desk setups
The keyboard pairs over Bluetooth BLE 5.0 or a 2.4GHz USB receiver, and can remember up to three paired devices — useful for a hot-desking environment where one keyboard needs to move between a laptop, a docking station, and a tablet through the day. 128-bit AES-CCM encryption on the wireless link keeps keystrokes protected, which matters when the keyboard is used to enter passwords or sensitive data over the air. A built-in kickstand lets users set their own typing angle, and an on/off switch preserves the 2x AAA batteries when the keyboard isn't in use.
Hygiene protection for shared and high-traffic desks
DefenseGuard Antimicrobial Protection is built into the keyboard's surface to inhibit the growth of bacteria on frequently-touched keys — a practical feature for shared workstations, training rooms, and hot-desk pools where multiple staff use the same peripheral across a day.

Frequently Asked Questions — Targus AKB873AP-50
Does this keyboard need a receiver plugged in at all times?
Only if you're using the 2.4GHz mode. In Bluetooth mode, the keyboard pairs directly with your device and no receiver is needed.
Can I use it with an iPad?
Yes, pair it over Bluetooth BLE 5.0. The 2.4GHz USB receiver won't work with an iPad since there's no USB-A port to plug it into.
How many devices can it remember at once?
Up to three, and you can switch between them without re-pairing each time.
What batteries does it use and are they included?
Two AAA batteries, and they're included in the box.
Is the recycled-material construction as durable as a standard keyboard?
Yes — the recycled plastics are engineered to the same durability standard as Targus's non-recycled keyboards; it's a materials-sourcing difference, not a build-quality one.
Does the antimicrobial coating need to be reapplied or cleaned specially?
No, DefenseGuard is built into the keycap material itself and needs no special maintenance — normal wipe-down cleaning is fine.
Does SourceIT provide local warranty and a proper tax invoice?
Yes. Every AKB873AP-50 sold by SourceIT comes with 3 Years Local Warranty in Singapore and a GST tax invoice for your records.
