Humanscale, the leader in ergonomic office products, builds on the success of its award-winning Freedom Arm line of articulating keyboard supports with the introduction of its 4th generation product, the 4G. Articulating keyboard supports are one of the most important elements of an ergonomic workstation and Humanscale continues to be the leader in this category, selling more than any other company in the world.
The new 4G mechanism improves upon the features and functionality of Humanscale’s best selling 2G mechanism with the addition of an innovative dial-a-tilt feature, which allows the user to change the keyboard tilt by simply turning a dial. In fact, the calibrated dial lets the user position the keyboard to a specific degree of tilt (within a range of 0 to –15 degrees) so that multiple-shift users can easily reset the 4G to their preferred setting. The 4G, in keeping with its predecessors, offers incredibly smooth and intuitive adjustability while providing the most stable keyboard/mousing support on the market.
Humanscale’s history of innovation in keyboard systems began with the Freedom Arm, the first keyboard support system to incorporate total knee clearance, knob-free adjustment, and low-risk keyboarding. While many products on the market focus solely on maximum adjustability, all of Humanscale’s keyboard mechanisms maximize adjustability within a safe operating range, thereby encouraging low-risk body postures. By combining easy angle adjustment with the same effortless height adjustment as Humanscale’s award-winning 2G, the 4G becomes the most sophisticated, user-friendly keyboard mechanism available.
Made of durable power-coated steel, the 4G meets or exceeds all applicable BIFMA standards and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Pricing starts at $400 with a full keyboard system, including track, keyboard platform, mouse platform and palm support. For more information, visit www.humanscale.com or call 800-400-0625.
