I am looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse combo that has some type of tough back/stand that elevates the top of the keyboard to angle back towards the user.

It's in a conference room and people keep breaking off the plastic tabs that fold out to elevate the KB.

can't just buy a keyboard stand and put the keyboards on it?
don't really seem worth it, since they're kinda ugly looking and/or expensive/bulky, though.

-----
if the keyboard legs need to be adjustable, cheap fix (binder clip)

plus is many offices already have these stocked

sturdy/more robust, removable via velcro tape (laptop cooling ball) available for ~$1 per pair on ebay

else if permanent is preferable: adhesive feet ~$1.50 per pair

If you need something that elevates it more than 12mm you could go with any number of rubber feet and some double sided mounting tape, like scotch extreme mounting tape.

Thanks, I'll try the feet and or binder clip. If I used the tray someone would probably take it.

I use a piece of wood lathe about the length of the keyboard and about 1/2-in thick. I Velcro that to the bottom of the keyboard in the back so it gives just the right tilt for most users. Nothing to break off - easily fixed or replaced.

That's a good idea too. Then I have the option of beating them with the stick....

:hmm:

Apply with superglue or velcro. The rubber prevents the keyboard from sliding around.
