Item	Appropriate Use
ERGONOMIC EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES

Keyboard Tray	When desktop is too high for appropriate keyboard and/or mouse placement or when more distance from monitor is needed.
Sliding Keyboard Drawer	When more distance from monitor is needed (may be a solution where desktops are both low and have shallow depths).
Mouse Deck	When there is no room for mouse at proper work surface level or when the mouse must be closer to the user. (Only feasible for those who do not regularly use the numeric keypad.)
Monitor Riser(s) or Arm	When monitor needs to be raised.
Footrest	When feet are not comfortably planted flat on floor and it is inconvenient to adjust seat height.
Document Holder	When working from reference documents.
Slant Board	When performing large levels of document review or writing.
Glare Filter	When overhead lighting causes glare onto the screen.
Wrist Rest	To provide a soft surface to rest hands while NOT keyboarding.
Trackball	For those with high levels of mouse use and high repetition click and click / drag tasks. For those with very limited space beside their keyboards.
Seatback Cushion	When everything on your existing chair is fine except the low-back support.
