Pronation in the forearm and wrist occur in a typing position as the palms of your hand are turned face down and parallel with the flat surface of the desk or floor. The majority of this turning involves the rotation of both forearm bones (the ulna and radius). Sustained pronation increases pressure on the forearm muscles and surrounding tissues and reduces blood circulation which can lead to fatigue and injury. Research demonstrates that a moderate elevation of the thumb side of the hand (laterally sloping the keyboard) dramtically reduces this type of stress.

Solution
Unlike traditional flat keyboards that force your forearms and wrists into pronation, the Maxim keyboard offers 2 reproducible tent settings of 8 & 14 degrees to greatly reduce pronation. Removable palm supports are also included to reduce wrist extension.
