Abstract
A keyboard support apparatus is provided to allow a keyboard to be placed in a reverse inclination or angle thus allowing a user's hands and fingers to be placed at a level at or below the level of the user's forearms and wrists when the user's forearms are extended for keyboarding operations. A first embodiment includes an inclined panel rotatably connected to a base panel, and an adjustment panel which has a free end for engaging adjustment slots in the base panel thereby allowing a selective inclinations of the inclined panel with respect to the base panel. In a second embodiment, the keyboard support apparatus may be used in conjunction with a common computer desk or table which incorporates a pull-out tray. The keyboard support apparatus is installed on the pull-out tray allowing a user to adjust the reverse inclination of the keyboard, or to allow the keyboard to remain in its normal horizontal position.
