Abstract: An electronic workstation comprising a detachable keyboard (10, FIG. 1) associated with the workstation for permitting operator interface to same. The workstation comprises a base (2) with an upper surface (15) inclined towards the operator, a viewable element (8) such as a CRT screen, and a support (4,6) for supporting the viewable element relative to the base. The keyboard 10 is positionable by the operator in any of several orientations relative to the base 2. In one orientation the keyboard is fully incumbent upon the base, thereby maintaining the workstation profile or "footprint" relative to a work surface (30) at a minimum. In another orientation the keyboard rests only partially on the work surface. Protuberances (24, 34) on the upper surface of the base register with corresponding indentations in the lower surface of the keyboard to facilitate locking the keyboard in the desired position relative to the base.
