How did the Sidekick come to be?

The SideKick was originally designed for use with a wheelchair. A gentleman, who is a quadriplegic, had been interviewing at two call centers here in St.Petersburg, FL. To accommodate him he said they would build a customized workstation but he thought he might have something that would be a lot cheaper. He had seen our center mounted AKP and asked if the mounting plate underneath could be attached at the end of the top. We said yes and used four five pound plates for counterweights and it worked out quite well. He needed the keyboard height to be at thirty-nine inches, so we used two eight inch attachments. He previously tried a table similar to a hospital tray but the third long leg had to go through the wheels which prohibited him from moving the table himself. The five star base was a perfect fit.
