Abstract:
A keyboard support device having a generally planar support platform including a first keyboard support surface and an opposing second keyboard support surface. The platform includes two side edges and two end edges. Riser elements are formed along each end of the platform. The riser elements may be integrally formed or be formed as attachments. Preferably, the risers are integrally formed and the transition zone between the platform and each riser is formed as a smooth curve for additional wrist comfort experienced by users. The risers are directed oppositely from one another. That is, a first riser element is directed in a first direction and a second riser element is directed at a second direction different from the first direction and preferably oppositely from the first direction such that the riser elements extend in parallel but project oppositely away from their respective ends of the platform.
