Abstract
A bifurcated computer keyboard including separated keyboard segments adjustably mounted on supports. The supports include an upper wall which is inclined relative to a supporting surface. The keyboard segments include beveled protrusions which are rotatably mounted on the upper wall of the supports. The keyboard segments are adjusted to a desired tilt (side to side) angle by rotating the supports relative to the keyboard segments. A retaining member is provided to maintain the keyboard segments at a predetermined spacing.
