The Microdesk makes work easier and healthier
The Regular Microdesk provides an elevated secondary work surface directly between the keyboard and the monitor.
Designed by an experienced physiotherapist, the Regular Microdesk reduces the amount of reaching/twisting/stretching that many people are forced to do when working with papers at their computer.
Incorporating the Regular Microdesk into a workspace improves posture and productivity.

The Microdesk is designed to straddle the rear edge of the keyboard, creating a stable, sloping platform for hand-writing tasks, as well as support for documents, books, mobile devices and other workstation essentials.
The secondary worksurface created by Microdesk allows inline access to paperwork for reference and writing materials as well as the keyboard.
This increases comfort and reduces twisting and reaching while decreasing the need to stretch over or around the keyboard when needing to write notes or reference paperwork.

Eliminates Twisting at the Neck and Torso
The Microdesk is designed to be positioned inline with the keyboard and monitor, above the rear edge of the keyboard and below the monitor.
By placing documents and papers directly in front, users no longer need to twist at the neck or waist when reading reference materials or making notations.

Reduces Overreach
![](https://www.opcergonomics.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Microdesk_Inline.jpg)
By allowing users to keep papers and books inline, forward reach is significantly reduced.
By making use of the space between the keyboard and monitor for paperwork, users can be sure other key tools, such as the mouse, numeric keypad or phone and remain close by, further reducing reaching and twisting.
Facilitates Good Upper Body Posture
The Microdesk significantly reduces the risk of upper back and neck strain caused by repeatedly bending the neck or hunching over the desk.
Adds Usable Work Space
This secondary worksurface adds usable working space that is typically not utilised.
For many users, a sloping worksurface is easier and more comfortable to work on than the flat surface of the desk.
The Microdesk easily supports heavy reading materials and is light enough to reposition with one hand.
Clear construction allows users to store papers and supplies beneath the Microdesk, or to see the keyboard if the Microdesk is positioned directly above it.
Adjustable height legs
The Microdesk leg height is easily adjusted, allowing individuals to alter the slope of the platform as needed, and to elevate it to the most comfortable height for the task.
Non slip feet ensure secure positioning on the desk.

Aids with reviewing documents
There are two paper ledge heights, allowing the user to select a shallow 8mm, or deep 20mm ledge.
Both paper ledges are 250mm wide and are installed on the middle of the lower edge of the platform.
The paper ledges allow ample space on either side of both versions for left and right-handed users to rest their forearm as they write.
Ledges can be swapped out easily but remain securely in place during busy work sessions.
Also included with the Microdesk is a removable line guide that helps users keep their place and to secure paperwork.
