Keyboard Steps - Adjust the Angle of Computer Keyboards

thingiverse

Many people find computer keyboards sit too flat on a desktop, making them uncomfortable even when the small legs on the back fold down. If you have a keyboard with rearward facing legs up to 24mm wide, these Keyboard Steps can be an ideal solution for more comfortable use of your Keyboard. Keyboard Steps are simply a staircase for your keyboard that raises it by 10 / 15 / 20mm to suit personal preference. They are super easy to use - just insert the rear legs of your keyboard into the chosen Keyboard Step (height) and they will support the back of the keyboard to raise its angle/tilt forward. Keyboard Steps are a quick and easy print, as most keyboards have rubber pads to stop them from sliding during use. It is recommended to apply some adhesive-backed rubber pads to the base of your Keyboard Steps for the same reason. Before printing, check if you have a keyboard with rearward facing legs up to 24mm wide (refer to images), which is a very common type of keyboard. A wider alternative is also provided for keyboards with legs up to 40mm wide. Note: If you like this, check out the rest of my fun and practical designs. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.20mm / Standard Infill: 20% infill / 2 shells Notes: Easy prints - rafts make removal from the build plate easier, no support required. Post-Printing: Add rubber pads... As the back of the keyboard will be raised with the Keyboard Steps in place, the original rubber pads may not make contact with the desk as usual. For this reason, it is recommended to add some thin adhesive-backed rubber pads under the feet of your Keyboard Steps (Refer images).
