This says it is a long arm and long pad, will it work for a short person? Also, is this for someone who is mostly mousing all day or just keyboard?

The ergo rest is very adjustable. I believe it can accommodate a wide range of arm-lengths. I use it with my Wacom tablets, however, I imagine it could support any sort of mouse or keyboard use. It attaches to a table or desk, so the height or adjust-ability of your chair is key. I hope this answer helps.

Yes, it will work for a short person as the arms articulate and pivot at three different points. It works for both mouse and keyboard, as I have two, one for each arm. The height of the pad is also adjustable, so that will help if you are shorter as well.

As long as your desk is at a comfortable height I don't see why it would be any problem for a short person. The arm swings such that it can take in any radius from zero (right on top of the clamp) to it's maximum length (about 1 foot). Your elbow or forearm travels in the pad rest. I have mine positioned between 2 computers and can use it for mousing on both of them without relocating the arm rest. The rest is good for both mousing and keyboard. I tend to slide from by forearm for mousing to my elbow for keyboarding. That's probably because I am using it on two computers at once.

Yes, works for a short person (I am short). The "long" arm and pad worksperfectly to give support from wrist to elbow giving much better overall support. If you have keyboard placed on your desktop, then could be used easily for both keyboard and mouse. My keyboard is a below level pull out so typically use when utilizing the mouse or to rest my arm whennot typing.

Ergonomically, It is not a standing height table. I use it at maximum extension while sitting. Standing, You would be looking down and your arms would be down to type. It is not designed for standing. However, you can use it standing I'm 5'9 and do not have to bend over to reach the keyboard. Again, not likely good for working long periods.

Hello Hibby! Well, I am not sure I am the one to answer this question to your satisfaction. First of all, I am a 3 -4 finger typist, and rarely rest my palms on the laptop. Therefore, I have no problem with the touchpad getting in the way of my typing. When I use this laptop more for typing, I will be using my laptop easel with a bluetooth connected full-size keyboard. Hope this helps. Mike.

It is not that short. Except if you are a big guy. I have 1.80 meters and it is ok for me. Ps: I'm not using the keyboard section of the table. Maybe if you will use it , it will be kind of short.

I don't use the platform with the mouse because I had to have a mouse that would fit in a space to accommodate my arm /elbow. My son does this for a living and I had tennis elbow and had to go to PT. The elbow pad was essential. I also got an egonomically correct keyboard, so my mouse is independent, battery run, so it fit between the arm rests I needed and the elbow stand. Good luck. If you have pain, it's worth hiring someone to help you work out the best way to set it up. I had to relearn how to sit, take breaks etc. too. Nancy

My daughter has a full size keyboard. As long as a piano. I bought this bench for her because she is short & it is adjustable. She loves it very comfortable & we were able to adjust it for her size!! She has no problem playing even with her shorter arms.

I have an ergonomical keyboard which is quite large and does not work. I'm sure it would work with a standard sized keyboard.

The keyboard is as big as the ipad. I only typed on it a few times, but I really liked it. It would probably work best if you could set the keyboard on a hard surface, but I had to put mine on my lap to use it. I hope this helped you.

It took a few days for me to get used to it, but it is helping with reducing/eliminating wrist pain. I am on the mouse all day long. I believe it will still work for you even with "small" hands. You have to grip the mouse between the thumb and other fingers to use. This is the part that takes some getting used to. The buttons are elongated so all should work fine for you.

Yes the mouse pad is higher than the keyboard. It doesn't look to me like it can be lowered. It hasn't affected my use at all. I didn't even think about it being higher.

My forearm is supported by my tall stand up desk. I think having support helps with maintaining control of the pointer by steadying the arm. Although by decreasing the sensitivity it might work ok without the forearm support. I have my sensitivity set at the maximum setting to reduce arm movement.

With the wrist extension on the bottom it supports the entire left hand to the bottom of the palm. The Right hand however is only supported up to half of the palm when typing. Its not a big deal for me because I can rest my right palm on my desk. It would go well without the extension and a extra even support added for it has legs at the front of the keyboard plus the two different heights on the back. Its very adjustable, I love it!

The item is totally adjustable from a pure strapping perspective. However, pressure pad would probably be largerthan one would want for someone with small arms.

it is definitely good and responsive as far as performance goes. Where it really shines is the fact that due to the thickness I don't need a pad for my wrist so I am able to rest my arm level with the surface of the mouse pad, which is an ergonomic thing that varies for different people. You may very well prefer to use a rest for your wrist which means you can probably go with one of the thinner ones which I believe are cheaper.as far as size, it's plenty big enough for even the lowest sensitivity players in any game.

Hi Alex, I use a regular mouse, no strain. I am 6' tall so my wingspan will be bigger than some, not as big as others. This is a terrific keyboard. It's my second Kinesis. Highly recommended. Reduces wrist strain for me quite a bit.

It's about 8" mostly round shape. I don't use a wrist pad, but I doubt if you would have much room left for a mouse and movement if you did, but mine is at a height that works well for me without a pad. I hope this has helped you---My old one broke and I was thrilled to find a new one---I hate to think of life on the computer w/o the platform. It holds the weight well.

I use the palm rest all the time and it leaves me with plenty of room to rest my palms. It's an attachment so you can also use this keyboard without it if you prefered. I believe it would be considered a large palm rest rather than a little one. Hope that helps.
