Rate and Review Your Ergonomic Office and Computer Furniture and Equipment

By , About.com Guide

There is a lot of office equipment on the market that claims to be ergonomic.  But is it truly ergonomic.  Whether it is your office chair, your fancy new keyboard, or that tried and true stapler the true test of an item being ergonomic is if it supports the way you work by increasing your comfort and efficiency.  So tell us what office and computer equipment works, or doesn't work for you.

If there is something you'd like to review that you don't see listed here just email your guide to ergonomics and I'll add it.

Computer Mouse

The computer mouse is the primary interface for most computer users.  That's why it is the cause of many of your computing maladies.  It is also why there are a lot of ergonomic options out there.

Alternative Computer Input Devices

Do you use something other than a comuter mouse to interface with your computer?  If so tell us about it.

Computer Keyboards

A lot of computer keyboards are called ergonomic by their marketing departments.  Do they measure up?

Keyboard Trays

An ergonomic keyboard tray is essential to having a supportive posture while working on a computer, but so many of them start to wobble or tilt only after you've had them for a few weeks.
