Humanscale Keyboard Tray
Humanscale 400 Diagonal Big Keyboard Tray - Design Your OwnThe Humanscale 400 Big Diagonal keyboard tray platform design ensures that users type and mouse within their neutral reach zone, creating a safe, comfortable and sustainable work environment. The neutral zone in a standard office workspace is defined as the area where a user sits and works at a desk and can easily reach and interact with surrounding computer accessories, including a keyboard and mouse. Unlike older generation keyboard and mouse solutions, Humanscale keyboard trays are designed to ensure that nearly all users are able to work consistently within their Neutral Reach Zone, and thus maintain a low-risk posture. The 400 board keeps everything on one worksurface instead of using a mousing platform; this keeps a mouse on the same tilt as the keyboard in use. If you prefer to set the mousing surface angle seperately, any of the other Humanscale keyboard trays aside from the 500 and 550 keyboard tray platforms offer this option.

| "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)

All Humanscale mechanisms pivot 360 degrees from the point where it is mounted to the track. Some users have a need for additional side-to-side adjustability. The lateral slider provides for eight extra inches of movement from right to left. This is a useful feature for someone at a large workstation that requires them to type facing different angles or monitors.

The track mounts to the underside of your work surface. It directs and supports the Humanscale mechanism and keyboard tray as it slides forward and back. Standard length on most mechanisms is 21 5/8 inches. That length ensures that the keyboard tray can be completely stowed under your desk when not in use. Some mechanisms come standard with a shorter or longer track. Consult each description for that information, but all systems can be ordered with any track length.

Select one of the foam or gel palm rest options for the 400 Diagonal Big keyboard platform. Choose a solid 27" palm rest or a split palm rest with one 20" section and one 7" long section; this feature comes in handy if a user doesn't always want a palm rest in front of their mouse or keypad (pictured in main image above). Both types of palm supports are covered with an easy to clean, black synthetic leather.

A keyboard tray is a key component of an ergonomic workstation. Position your keyboard tray so you can type and mouse while keeping your wrists straight. The ideal height for the keyboard is at elbow height or lower. Typically you should locate the keyboard tray just above your lap height. Your upper arms should hang comfortably at your sides as you work. The keyboard tray should be gently sloped or tilted away from the user to allow the wrists to be straight instead of flexed. When properly adjusted, a keyboard tray allows the back, neck, shoulders, and wrists to relax. The size of the keyboard tray must accommodate the keyboard and any input device like a mouse. Avoid having your keyboard on a tray and your mouse on the desk.
