ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses an ergonomically designed keyboard which alleviates carpal tunnel syndrome. It comprises a keyboard and a tilting mechanism which tilts the keyboard so that the keys proximate to the user become elevated relative to the keys farther away from the user; that is, the keyboard slopes downwards away from the user. The tilting mechanism allows automatic keyboard tilting upon opening a notebook computer's screen lid, and also manual angular adjustment of the keyboard to fit the user's needs.
