Abstract
Abstract A computer keyboard stand includes a base and a support. The base is coupled to a bottom of a computer keyboard by a screw. The base has two side walls each having a plurality of apertures laterally defined in a greater portion of its length from a first end of an inner face thereof and a bore defined adjacent to a second end of the inner face. The support includes a first wing and a second wing hinged to the first wing. The first wing has a pair of arms laterally extending out from opposite sides of a free end thereof to pivotally extend into the bores of the base. The second wing has a pair of limbs laterally protruding out from a free end thereof to retainably engage with one pair of the plurality of apertures. The computer keyboard stand provide an incremental, multi-level angle adjusting function to the computer keyboard.
