[OPLINTECH] Ergonomics of staff desks: Keyboard trays or something else?

[Phil Shirley]

In a recent renovation, some of our staff got furniture that had 
keyboard trays with space on the side for a mouse.  These were nice - 
you could adjust the height and the tilt, but most people didn't like 
these, so they had them removed and now they have their keyboards and 
mice up on the desk, too high to have their wrists horizontal to the 
floor, which I believe is the best thing ergonomically.  Have you found 
any furniture solution you (and your staff) liked for keyboards and 
mice?  (I'm not talking about tall desks like you might have as a circ 
desk.)

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I personally like the kind of keyboard and mouse shelf that you see on 
this Demco desk, although of course you can't easily adjust the height:
