"Tilt Bar" angles Laptop Keyboards for improved comfort, ease of use and convenience

thingiverse

Most laptops boast flat keyboards that let the screen fold over it, yet this setup falls woefully short in user comfort terms. A compact, hassle-free 3D printed solution emerges that should accommodate almost any laptop configuration. Desktop computers flaunt keyboards tiltable towards users. Tablets also come equipped with stands that adjust their screens to display keyboards at a favorable angle. Even Laptop Docking Stations bend laptops, making keyboards inclined towards the user. When you incline your keyboard instead of keeping it flat, typing becomes easier, feels more comfortable, and improves posture, so ergonomic benefits abound for users. So why do most laptop users endure a flat keyboard each day? This "Laptop Tilt Bar" pitches nearly any laptop backward at an angle preferred by most users. The minimalist design is compact, allowing for easy transportation alongside the laptop, free-standing, and lightweight. It employs angles aimed at minimizing the likelihood of laptop movement or the tilt bar sliding out of position. Once positioned correctly and combined with soft adhesive-backed foam rubber pads, the Tilt Bar should hold the laptop comfortably with almost no movement. Using adhesive-backed foam rubber is recommended to enhance surface grip and decrease the risk of slippage. Nonetheless, it's not required for most laptops equipped with rubber pads on their front corners since these too prevent laptops from sliding or moving. Several users have tested this with overwhelmingly positive results. Be sure to view all the information provided in the images as well as follow the print instructions offered. Additionally, a further advantage lies in improved laptop cooling due to its elevated position away from the desk, although convenience, ease of use, and comfort were primary concerns during design. Note: If your laptop lacks rubber pads on its front corners, it may be necessary to manufacture or fit some to minimize the Tilt Bar's tendency to shift around with laptops that lack support.
