One of the best ergonomic investments is a keyboard tray. These keyboard trays lower your typing surface so that it sits closer to your lap, while also sloping your keyboard at a very subtle, downward (or "negative") angle. With your keyboard in this position, typing requires less stretching of the arms and reduces extension of the wrist since your arms naturally fall to this level. This reduces tendon stress and improves overall comfort while working, which helps to increase productivity.
For those who have already "split" from the mainstream and are now using a split keyboard, such as the Goldtouch V2 or the Kinesis Freestyle2, keyboard trays are still a valuable investment. Most split keyboards have dimensions very similar to those of standard keyboards due to their similar key size and layout, meaning they are compatible with these rectangular keyboard trays. Even if you use the standard Kinesis Freestyle2's full 8" separation, a large rectangular keyboard like the Humanscale 500 will allow you to keep your keyboard at full separation length. No matter what your keyboard of choice is, there's a keyboard tray that will help you maximize your productivity.
