 Founded in 1982, Humanscale is recognized as the leading manufacturer of ergonomic products for the office. Their diverse product range helps ensure that individuals who spend hours each day in front of a computer, do so in maximum comfort and with minimal long-term health risks. To achieve this result, their philosophy regarding product design is this: Technology can make simple things complicated or complicated things simple. They believe in the latter approach and strive to design products that combine uncompromising function and quality workmanship with ultimate ease-of-use.
Humanscale is very office oriented, by this I mean they do a lot of keyboard trays and other office products but this certainly does not mean they are lacking in chair technology and quality office chairs. The Freedom chair is designed to give the maximum ergonomic benefit to the sitter with a minimum number of manually-adjusted controls. A self-adjusting recline features guarantees that during the decline or ensuing incline of a chair the user will maintain nearly the same consistent level of eye contact. Once the chair is fitted, no further adjustment is required. The idea is that movement, which is essential for a healthy body, shouldn’t be constricted by locking mechanisms and manual controls. In other words, sitting comfortably isn’t something you should have to think about.
Another chair that Humanscale manufacturers and has encountered wonderful success with is the Liberty. With Form-Sensing Mesh Technology, its unlike any mesh chair you’ve seen or experienced. With its tri-panel construction, Liberty has the body-fitting contours that single-panel stretch mesh chairs simply can’t achieve. This chair features the same self-adjusting recline we spoke about above regarding the Freedom. And it offers perfect lumbar support for everyone, without external devices or manual adjustments.
Humanscale understands that not everyone is built the same and that is why the Liberty and Freedom have both been cleared to fit up to 95% of the population, requiring just a few seat depth and height changes to accomodate such numbers. A great feat for such a comfortable and supportive chair.
An articulating keyboard system is an essential item for any professional who works over two hours a day at the same workstation. A high-end articulating keyboard system can provide serious protection from a variety of musculoskeletal disorders, including Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, neck pain, and upper and lower back pain. With their advanced technology, award-winning designs and hundreds of options, Humanscale has been the market leader in articulating keyboard systems for 5 years running. They pioneered and still implement intuitive adjustability in their keyboard systems while eliminating knee obstruction. If you're serious about working in comfort, you've come to the right place.

 One of their keys to success in the keyboard systems field is their Neutral Reach Zone technology. Each of their platform options is designed to ensure that users type and mouse within their Neutral Reach Zone, thereby encouraging safe, sustainable working postures. "The Neutral Reach Zone is the area that can be conveniently reached with a sweep of the forearm while the upper arm hangs in a natural position at the side.
I have said it before and I will say it again, where your eyes rest while you work is the most important thing within your workstation. Humanscale understands that and has created a line of monitor arms that really out does the rest of the ergonomics field. The M7, winner of the prestigious Gold Award at NeoCon 2003, is the most easily adjustable, stable and elegant line of flat panel monitor arms on the market. Built to demanding specifications, any of the M7's countless configurations will allow users to take full advantage of the benefits of flat panel technology. And they're environmentally-friendly too, composed of 90% recycled materials.
Humanscale has recently jumped into the mousing field and made a very large and successful entrance with the Switchmouse. The Switchmouse is an innovative mousing solution that boosts comfort and reduces the risk of injury. This groundbreaking peripheral device integrates two major innovations—a V-shaped base, which puts the wrist and forearm into a natural pronation for left or right-handed users, and size(length) adjustability to provide a perfect fit for any computer user. Other features include a built-in palm support to prevent contact stress on the wrist, four-way scrolling dish to minimize repetitive motion, and programmable buttons for user-specified functions. All of this adds up to the most customizable and ergonomic mouse ever created.
