Abstract
Keyboards comprise mechanisms to raise a portion of the keyboard to angle the keyboard for more ergonomically efficient usage. A first embodiment includes a system of gears that rotates cylindrical feet out of the bottom of the keyboard. The gear system transforms a small amount of user input into a relatively large height extension. Another embodiment includes a plinth of the keyboard housing that rests on the table while the upper portion of the keyboard is raised or lowered to the desired height.
