Adjusts effortlessly — A simple one-handed motion allows the keyboard to be repositioned instantly, without the use of locks or levers.

Encourages low-risk postures — Whereas older generation products focus solely on maximum adjustability, all our keyboard mechanisms maximize adjustability within a safe operating range. For instance, they do not allow users to adjust their keyboards into a positive slope (angled toward the user), which is a high-risk keyboarding position.

Non-intrusive — All Humanscale keyboard mechanisms offer total knee clearance, so the only things below the keyboard are your knees. And their ease of adjustability means that they’re never in the way.

Will last a lifetime — All Humanscale keyboard mechanisms provide the industry’s most stable support for mousing and keyboarding. Made of powder-coated steel to exacting standards, they will provide years and years of healthy use. In addition, they each meet or exceed all applicable BIFMA Standards and come with a lifetime guarantee.

Why is a negative tilt ergonomic?
Backed by years of research, ergonomists universally agree that using a keyboard in a negative tilt encourages a neutral wrist posture, meaning your wrist is neither bent nor flexed, which minimizes the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and other MSDs. In addition, contract stress on the inside of the wrist is minimized when keyboarding in negative tilt.

Do you have to lock the arm in place when you move it up or down?
No. The Freedom Arm can be adjusted up or down by simply tilting the platform. Once it’s at the right height, it automatically locks in place when released.

What are your keyboard/mouse platforms made of?
Our keyboard and mouse platforms are made of phenolic, an ultra-strong composite made of wood pulp and resin that’s non-toxic, durable and easy to clean.

Where can I find a listing of what colors your product is available in?
The keyboard tray comes standard in Graphite Spektrum, a dark gray color.
