Keytools recommends that ergonomic enhancements are essential when working on a laptop as it presents the highest risk of developing RSI. Read our advice on laptop use and find out what adjustments you need to make.

Laptops and Notebooks are the most un-ergonomic and dangerous computer configurations possible. Intensive use of these devices is likely to produce problems of posture, RSI symptoms, and eyestrain problems very quickly. In Holland legislation has been introduced that limits laptop use to just 2 hours a day.

It is essential for all those who use laptops in their work to acquire a basic set of ergonomic enhancements that will make their working safe from strain injuries.

Keytools sells a range of laptop stands to encourage a more natural working position.

Alternatively we would reccommend that you to use a separate screen (plus keyboard and mouse). Our range of mini keyboards and mini mice are ideal for users on the go. However if your laptop has a decent screen (as most now do), a more efficient solution is a laptop stand. The stand elevates the laptop to the correct screen position and you use a separate keyboard and mouse.
