The Complete Guide to Workspace Ergonomics
Ergonomics isn't about buying more gear — it's about understanding how your body should be positioned, then choosing the few tools that get you there.

Good ergonomics starts with a target posture, not a shopping list: elbows near 90 degrees, wrists neutral, monitor top at or slightly below eye level, and feet flat on the floor or a footrest. Every accessory on this site exists to help you reach that posture, not the other way around.
Fix the Cheap Things First
Most people over-invest in the chair and under-invest in monitor height and keyboard position — two of the cheapest fixes with the biggest impact on neck and wrist strain. A $20 monitor riser often does more for your posture than a $200 chair upgrade, simply because it corrects a problem that a chair upgrade can’t.
Neutral Posture, in Plain Terms
Neutral posture means your joints sit near the middle of their range of motion rather than at an extreme — wrists straight rather than bent, elbows near a right angle rather than stretched forward, neck upright rather than craned down at a laptop screen. Every accessory recommendation on this site is really just a tool for getting closer to that baseline.
Accessories vs. Buying Guides
We split ergonomics content into two types: the specific accessories worth buying (monitor arms, split keyboards, footrests, wrist rests, keyboard trays) and the buying guides that explain how to choose between options once you've decided you need one. Start with whichever matches where you are — product picks if you know what you need, a buying guide if you're still deciding.
