Abstract

A keyboard with wrist support comprising a wrist support having a plurality of connecting plates at the rear end surface of said wrist support is provided. The connecting plates are provided with a pair of connecting arm at both ends respectively. Each of the connecting arms is provided with a pin shaft. The bottom of the front end surface of the keyboard is provided with a pair of connecting slots corresponding to the connecting plates of the wrist support. The side walls of the connecting slots are provided with pin holes corresponding to the pin shaft of the connecting arms such that the pin shaft can be pivotally engaged with the pin holes of the connecting slots of said keyboard. By this arrangement, the wrist support can be pivotally and removably attached to the keyboard. Consequently, the wrist support can be readily attached to the keyboard for application or removed therefrom for storage or packing.
