What does an ergonomic keyboard tray actually do that a desk surface can't?

An ergonomic keyboard tray mounts under the desk on an articulating mechanism, which lets you drop the keyboard to roughly one inch below elbow height with a slight negative tilt. That positioning keeps wrists neutral rather than bent upward, which reduces the risk of carpal tunnel and repetitive strain over time. Typing on a standard desk surface — which sits at desk height, not elbow height — puts wrists in extension for hours at a stretch. For anyone typing 4+ hours a day, a keyboard tray is a meaningful ergonomic step. Call 888-719-4960 or find options at FindOfficeFurniture.com.
