Keyboard & Mouse Position Calculator
Keyboard tray height and the negative-tilt setup that keeps wrists neutral — RSI prevention geometry.
Those little flip-out feet under keyboards do the *opposite* of what ergonomics wants — they create positive tilt that bends wrists upward (extension), the posture most linked to carpal-tunnel strain. Keep the keyboard flat or tilted slightly away from you. Wrist rests are for resting *between* typing, not during; planting wrists while typing pivots the hands and concentrates pressure on the carpal tunnel.
