Keyboard Systems

A key component of an ergonomic workstation and a must for any keyboard user, a well-designed articulating keyboard support offers serious protection from carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and back pain, and other musculoskeletal issues. Since 1999, Humanscale has been the leading manufacturer of articulating keyboard systems, and today sells more than all other manufacturers combined.

“A decade of ergonomics research shows that using a negatively sloped adjustable keyboard tray maximizes the time spent working in neutral hand, wrist and upper body postures. These postural benefits can’t be achieved by just using a keyboard on a height adjustable work surface. ” —Professor Alan Hedge, Cornell University

The Neutral Reach Zone “The area that can be conveniently reached with a sweep of the forearm while the upper arm hangs in a natural position at the side. ” (Sanders & McCormick, 1993) Humanscale keyboard systems ensure nearly all users can work consistently within their Neutral Reach Zone to maintain a low-risk posture.
