Why use a keyboard support system? Placing a keyboard on a keyboard/mouse support system is one of the most important components of a healthy ergonomic workstation and can protect employees from a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Because our bodies follow our hands, when the keyboard sits on a desktop, employees have a tendency to lean forward to reach it. This leads to aches in the wrists, arms, back and neck. Using an articulating keyboard system helps support comfortable, efficient posture.
