Keyboard Tray Height
Keyboard tray height aligns elbows near ninety degrees with neutral wrists—avoid trays that pinch knees or force upward shoulder reach during typing.
Keyboard tray height sets the input surface so elbows stay near ninety degrees with shoulders relaxed and wrists neutral—not drooping below the thighs or forcing upward reach. Slides under the desk can help shorter users but may conflict with knee clearance; test thigh gap before committing.
Pair tray changes with mouse position so you do not fix wrists while overreaching the pointer.
Common questions
-
Are keyboard trays always better?
Not always—if the tray is too low or knees hit the underside, shoulders and wrists compensate. A desktop keyboard at the right chair height can be equally neutral.
