What is an ergonomic keyboard tray and when should I use one?

An ergonomic keyboard tray mounts under the desk surface on an articulating mechanism, positioning the keyboard at elbow height (approximately 1" below the elbow when seated) with a slight negative tilt. This reduces wrist extension and ulnar deviation — key risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injury. For users spending 4+ hours per day typing, a keyboard tray is a meaningful ergonomic intervention.
