subject: Shopping For Quality Computer Accessories [print this page] Virtually every home and business uses personal computers or laptop computers. It still amazes me how many people are unaware of the advancements and ever increasing offering of computer accessories.
The kinds of computer accessory items I am referring to are ergonomic in nature, which simply means they make operating a computer easier and better for your body. Many people suffer from chronic back pain, eye stress, carpal tunnel syndrome, and a host of other computer or data entry related conditions that can be easily avoided if you are empowered with the right information.
To reiterate, these kinds of computer accessory items are ergonomic devices such as flat panel monitor arms, articulating keyboard platforms, foot rests, and computer drive holders which mount under your work surface. In theory these devices make operating a computer easier which can increase your productivity and reduce fatigue.
These devices can also help reduce or eliminate workers compensation claims that arise from repetitive computer use or improper posture or position. The design of these ergonomic computer accessories inherently improves your body position, and in turn makes operating a computer less stressful to your body.
There are many online resources for purchase of these devices, but most of these manufacturers do not sell direct. These manufacturers sell through online resellers and office furniture dealers.
These computer accessories are affordable and readily available online if you know where to look. However, you will not find these items at your local Office Depot, Staples, or Office Max. You will not find these items at Costco or Sams either.
I have been in the office furniture and seating industry for over fifteen years. I have had the privilege of working with a number of personal computer accessory manufacturers who make the types of devices I am referring to. Some of my favorite trusted manufacturers of these items are Esi Ergo, Systematics, and Anatome. All of whom provide similar offerings.
If you Google search these manufacturers you will be able to view their product lines in depth which should help you determine which products you feel will best meet your needs.
Most ergonomic computer accessories are designed for home office use as well as for office cubicles found in many large corporations. The cool thing about these devices is they are affordable and easy to install. Most of these items can be installed very quickly with minimal tools. Many of these manufacturers send tools with these products to help facilitate installation.
