How does a bow-front desk affect the ergonomics of keyboard and mouse use?

Ergonomic keyboard and mouse positioning on a bow-front desk requires specific attention at OfficeFurniture2go.com's specification level. The bow's center depth — typically 36"–42" — pushes a surface-placed keyboard further from the user than a standard desk, making a keyboard tray essential for proper wrist neutrality during extended typing. The tray should mount at the center of the bow for best ergonomic positioning. Mouse placement should remain at the same level as the keyboard, adjacent to the right or left of the tray. For clients spending 5+ hours daily at a bow-front, a quality articulating keyboard tray is a necessary complement to the desk, not an optional accessory. We include keyboard tray recommendations with every bow-front desk specification. Call 1-800-460-0858.
