What is Armrest Adjustability?
Describes the different ways armrests can be moved to support forearms and shoulders.
Definition
This specification indicates how many directions an armrest can be adjusted. Common types include 1D (up/down height), 2D (height + forward/backward), 3D (height + forward/backward + pivot inward/outward), and 4D (height + forward/backward + pivot + width adjustment). 'None' means fixed armrests.
Why It Matters
Properly adjusted armrests support your forearms, reducing strain on your shoulders and neck. This helps prevent discomfort and muscle fatigue, especially when typing or using a mouse.
What to Look For
3D or 4D armrests provide the most ergonomic flexibility, allowing users to fine-tune support for various tasks and postures.
