Ergonomische Positionierung

The Balance Keyboard is designed to work optimally with Contour Design's RollerMouse or SliderMouse products, allowing for a central mouse position and reduced reach. This setup helps maintain a natural hand and arm posture.

Einstellbare Neigung

The keyboard features adjustable legs that allow you to set the tilt to three different positions: negative, neutral, and positive. Adjusting the tilt can further optimize your wrist and hand posture.

• Negative Neigung: Angles the keyboard downwards, allowing your hands to angle to an optimal position for typing, reducing wrist extension.
• Neutral Tilt: Keeps the keyboard flat.
• Positive Neigung: Angles the keyboard upwards, similar to traditional keyboards.
