Is this keyboard system designed for sit–stand desks?

Yes. It’s specifically engineered for height-adjustable tables and moves comfortably with seated and standing positions. The the track that holds the keyboard is 12.5"D, so make sure to measure under your top to see how much room you have from the front of your desk till it hits the structure bar of the height adjustable base. You will need at least 12.5".

Will this work with my keyboard?

It supports a wide range of standard keyboards. The platform is designed to accommodate most common sizes. It measures: 25"W x 9"D.

What does the lateral slider do?

It allows side-to-side adjustment so you can center the keyboard perfectly with your body and monitor.

Why is short depth important?

A short-depth tray keeps your hands closer to the desk edge, helping reduce wrist extension and shoulder reach.

Is the tray height-adjustable?

Yes. The tray adjusts vertically to support proper elbow and wrist alignment.

How does the tilt adjustment work?

Humanscale’s dial-a-tilt mechanism allows smooth adjustment from flat to a negative tilt, helping reduce wrist strain.

Does it support negative tilt?

Yes. The dial-a-tilt mechanism allows neutral to negative tilt for ergonomic typing comfort.

Does it include a palm support?

Yes. A soft foam palm support is included.

Is installation difficult?

No. Installation is straightforward and does not require a professional installer.

Is this system stable for heavy daily use?

Absolutely. The steel mechanism is designed for commercial, high-use environments.

A slim, adjustable keyboard system designed for sit–stand desks. Offers dial-a-tilt comfort, excellent stability, and maximum knee clearance for ergonomic typing.

Description Description

A sit–stand desk isn’t truly ergonomic unless your hands are just as supported as your posture. This Humanscale Keyboard System is designed specifically for height-adjustable tables, giving you precise control over typing height, tilt, and side-to-side positioning — without cluttering your leg space.

With a 12.5" track, lateral slider, and short-depth, height-adjustable tray, this system lets you dial in a comfortable typing position whether you’re seated, perched, or standing. The slim platform keeps everything close to the desk edge (right where your hands want to be), while Humanscale’s rock-solid mechanism ensures stability through constant desk movement.

It’s a clean, intentional upgrade that quietly improves comfort all day long — exactly the kind of ergonomic detail Humanscale does best.
