KUMA ABS Plastic Low Profile Tray

KUMA ABS Low Profile Trays from ErgoVerse offer a low 0.375" thick profile that permits individuals to position their keyboard and mouse for optimal ergonomics.Constructed of durable ABS plastic, this simple design also eliminates any uncomfortable obstructions on the underside of the tray. When placed on the KUMA ABS Plastic Low Profile Tray, especially one installed on a keyboard arm equipped with a slim mounting bracket (such as the Ovation Low Profile Leverless Arm) a keyboard and pointing device can be comfortably positioned just above the legs, and/or at a negative incline (tilted down) without restricting movement of the knees or thighs.

Note: To be sure this tray will fit an existing keyboard arm, please compare the mounting hole pattern on the installed arm with the Mounting Hole Pattern on the diagram.

The simple, clean design of the KUMA ABS Low Profile Tray is also free of obstructions on its upper surface, (such as raised edges or built-in wrist rests) that could increase the risk of injury to the sensitive pressure points on the underside of the wrists. The rear edge is raised to keep the keyboard in place when the tray is at a negative incline, and is notched in two places to accommodate cable routing.

Composed of rigid ABS Plastic, and 11 inches deep (from front to back), the KUMA ABS Low Profile Trays can accommodate specialty ergonomic keyboards (including adjustable or separated keyboards). These trays are currently available in widths of 30" & 27", with the 30" wide model wide enough for practically all keyboards and pointing devices.

• Spacious: Room for both a pointing device and a separate keypad. See "Usage Tips" for determining the necessary width.
• Keyboard Guard: Ensures keyboard and input devices stay in place when the tray is negatively inclined.
• Cable Management: Left and right slots in the keyboard guard allow for easy routing of cables from tray to computer.
• Durable: High quality ABS Plastic construction provides a firm surface with minimal bounce and flexion, yet is sufficiently resilient to prevent cracking or chipping from accidental impacts.

• Determine the width of your keyboard tray by considering what input devices you wish to position on the tray. Measure out the widths of these devices, allowing at least 8" of width for mouse movement (sometimes more depending on the mousing device you will be using). A rule of thumb is to get the widest tray your workstation can accommodate. Make sure that when mounted on a keyboard arm your tray will have the necessary clearance. A wide tray will not be able to be raised above the surface of a corner workstation if the back corners of the tray cannot clear the desk.
  Note: Please contact us for strategies to address this.
• If you are a touch typist, position your KUMA ABS Plastic Low Profile Tray with a negative incline (if your keyboard arm is so equipped) and at a height that enables you to maintain a neutral wrist alignment. By elevating the edge closest to you, the wrist is naturally elevated above the fingertips and in line with the back of the forearm. The risk of restricting circulation or exerting pressure on the tissues is reduced or eliminated. This benefits both your keyboarding and mousing activity. Learn More About Positioning Your Keyboard Tray.
• If you are not a touch typist, you may find that a neutral or positive inclination is more appropriate for your method of typing. In addition, as a “hunt and peck” typist, you may prefer to position the keyboard higher than a touch typist would because you move your hands and arms more, and you aim for one key at a time.
• When selecting a Keyboard Arm on which to mount your KUMA ABS Plastic Low Profile Tray you should consider the range of elevation (above and below your worksurface), whether it supports a range of positive and negative inclination, and storability. Not all Keyboard Arms are equal and a higher price does not necessarily mean the best product. The ease of height and angle adjustment, and type of storage mechanism (steel ball-bearing is highly recommended) should be considered alongside the first set of criteria.
