Having recently purchased a laptop during my tour to India, I discovered that while it’s great to be able to use a mobile office, laptops aren’t necessary well designed.
So saw the Ergo-Tilt in the shop & figured it would be great because it has some amazing benefits:
- It’s an ergonomically designed accessory that relieves stress by tilting your laptop. This tilt stops me from straining my neck & back because I no longer need to ‘hunch’ over the keyboard, as well as helping to prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (caused by nerve compression in your wrists).
- The slots in the Ergo-Tilt allow air to circulate effectively around the laptop & since a cooler laptop performs better than a hot one, it improves my efficiency.
- It’s extremely light, folds flat & fits in my laptop bag.
- It’s durable & has a 5 year warranty (considering it’s made out of hard plastic, it’s unlikely break unless you apply too much force to it).
- The packaging is made from 100% recyclable materials & the Ergo-Tilt itself is recyclable.
- It comes in 5 colours (black, green, red, yellow & blue) & can be branded with your company’s logo & contact details, making it an excellent practical corporate gift.
- It’s assembled by challenged individuals, giving jobs & hope to people who would otherwise not have much.
- Best of all – it’s a South African product, so purchasing it supports local industry, it’s being sold overseas & a group of South African entrepreneurs own & run the company!
Well, I now highly recommend it – I bought one for my wife’s laptop too.
You can purchase it for about R80,00 at Game stores countrywide (don’t buy it from ‘Incredible’ – it’s R50,00 more).

[UPDATE: From Herb of Ergo-Tilt:
"Game will be upping their prices in a few days to R99,00 . Their R80,00 price was a clearout as they are about to receive our new designed retail boxes.
We are preparing a press release to show our new item & will keep you updated".
Thanks Herb, I'll post your update here.]
I wish they made a white one to go with my macbook!
Ive seen a few people using them and wondered if they really do help. So from you blogging, it probably does.
@JBagley: It’s such a simple thing but it really makes using the keyboard so much more practical. Plus you don’t need to “peer” over your hands to see the screen.
Hi Marcel,

@Herb: No problem! I’m using my Ergo-Tilt right now & take it with me on my business travels.
You don’t recognise the benefits of the Ergo-Tilt until you’ve used it … & then don’t have it.
really it is a fantastic idea and it helped me a lot. many thanks to the people who posted the above article. Hats off to Ergo-tilt.
