A mid-keyboard-monitor device (MKMD), comprising:
- a bottom surface of the MKMD that supports the MKMD in a first position on a work surface;
- a front surface of the MKMD having a front edge and a back edge, where the front surface is inclined at an angle less than ninety degrees relative to the bottom surface with the back edge being higher than the front edge;
- a lower surface between the front surface the bottom surface of the MKMD, that supports the MKMD in a second position.
A method of mid-keyboard-monitor cable management with a mid-keyboard-monitor device (MKMD), comprising:
- placing a bottom surface of a MKMD that supports the MKMD in a first position with at least a portion of the bottom surface in contact with a work surface, with a front surface of the MKMD having a front edge and a back edge, where the front surface is inclined at an angle less than ninety degrees relative to the bottom surface with the back edge being higher than the front edge;
- and
- tilting the MKMD forward in order for a lower surface between the front surface the bottom surface of the MKMD to supports the MKMD in a second position for access to ports located on the back surface of the MKMD.
