Humanscale 100 Combo Board - Recommended Configurations

Like all Humanscale keyboard systems, the Humanscale 100 Combo Platform has been designed to ensure that users type and mouse within their Neutral Reach Zone, creating a safe, comfortable and sustainable work environment. The 100 platform is curved to easily fit larger, natural shaped keyboards while also having the room to easily fit a straight or split keyboard. The 100 Combo platform is made of phenolic: an ultra-strong, remarkably thin (1/4�) composite that�s non-toxic, durable and easy to clean.

The Humanscale 100 platform will fit nearly all standard keyboards and to fit most desks. Measure your keyboard to be sure.
Dimensions: 20.5quot; w x 13 1/4" d at the deepest point x 10 5/8" d at the narrowest point

Neutral Reach Zone:

"The neutral reach zone is 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) Unlike older generation keyboard/mouse solutions, Humanscale platforms are designed to ensure that nearly all users are able to work consistently within their neutral reach zone, and thus maintain a low-risk, sustainable posture.

Mechanism/arm -

Choose between Humanscale's 2 most popular arms.

The 5G mechanism is their finest mechanism and is built for maximum stability and to be extremely durable. It features:

• easy, knob-free height adjustment with a range of 5" below the work surface to 1 1/4" above the work surface.
• Dial-a-tilt platform allows you to set a negative tilt from 0° to -15° , accommodating the negative tilt highly recommended by most ergonomists for safe keyboarding.
• 360° swivel
• Platform stows completely underneath the work surface with the standard, 22" track.

The 2G mechanism offers the same range of adjustment but the tilt is not as easy to set. This is a great choice if you're seeking to save some money without sacrificing quality or function.

Track Length -

The track mounts to the underside of your work surface and is what the mechanism slides forward and back on. Standard length on this mechanism is 21 5/8". If you do not have enough depth under your work surface to clear this, please see our full option Humanscale 100 board listing.. Be sure to measure the depth under your desk (front to back) to confirm the track will fit; it's best to have a slightly shorter track than the overall depth of your desk.

Mouse Platform -

Choose between either the 8 1/2" high clip mouse or the 10" diameter high clip mouse. The clip mouse is their most popular mousing platform as it is the most versatile, allowing you to slide the platform forward or back, swivel it over your keyboard/numeric pad, adjust the tilt or switch from the right to left side of the keyboard platform without the need for tools.

Allowing the mousing platform to swivel over the numeric pad area on your keyboard allows you to move your mouse closer to your body and into the neutral zone which is healthiest for mousing and reducing the stress on your shoulders. Most users will be happy with the 8 1/2" diameter mouse platform, however a 10" diameter is available for those who need a larger surface.
