All of Humanscale's keyboard mechanisms offer the following features:
Our line of keyboard supports features the 6G, the lightest, most sustainable mechanism of its kind:
Why is it ergonomic for a keyboard tray to have a negative tilt?
Backed by years of research, ergonomists universally agree that using a keyboard in a negative tilt encourages a neutral wrist posture--meaning your wrist is neither bent nor flexed. Keyboarding in a negative tilt minimizes the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) while reducing contact stress on the inside of the wrist.
Do I have to lock the arm in place when I move a keyboard support up or down?
No. Humanscale's award-winning keyboard supports can be adjusted up or down by simply tilting the platform and moving them into the desired position. Once you've found your optimum height, the keyboard arm automatically locks in place when released.
What are Humanscale keyboard and mouse platforms made of?
Our keyboard and mouse platforms are made of phenolic, an ultra-strong composite made of wood pulp and resin that’s durable, non-toxic, and easy to clean.
