Inclinació ajustable

The keyboard features adjustable legs that allow you to set the tilt to three different positions: negative, neutral, and positive. Adjusting the tilt can further optimize your wrist and hand posture.

• Neutral Tilt: Keeps the keyboard flat.
• Inclinació positiva: Angles the keyboard upwards, similar to traditional keyboards.
