Kelly Computer Supply

 

The Science of Comfort

History of Kelly Computer Supply

Kelly Computer Supply Company was founded in 1983 in a small two-bedroom apartment in Lauderdale, Minnesota by CEO Bob Kelly. Kelly is an enrolled tribal member of the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Belcourt, North Dakota. Kelly Computer Supply Company is a certified Minority Supplier by the Minnesota Minority Supplier Development Council (MMSDC) and by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB).

OfficeMax offered Bob the opportunity to sell KellyREST Brand products through their general line catalogs, which expanded the company’s nationwide exposure and experience in supporting the needs of large corporate consumers. Corporate America is increasingly requesting that its vendor base be reflective of its growing ethnic customer base. Simply put, it’s good business to be inclusive and provide opportunities for minority- and women-owned business that didn’t exist a few years ago.

About Us

Kelly has been the answer in ergonomic office supplies for over 20 years. Our products are direct derivatives of the needs of consumers – the needs of comfort and convenience. Whether you’re a distributor or consumer, you’ll find dependability and functionality across the spectrum of Kelly products. As the industry continues to create scientific solutions for comfort, we will continue to help you revolutionize your work environment.

Kelly Computer Supply Company offers a wide variety of ergonomic products and solutions including Viscoflex memory foam wrist supports, copy holders, adjustable footrests, underdesk keyboard trays, mouse pads, CPU stands and much more. Many of our products contain post-consumer recycled content which exceed the guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. You will also find a large number of KellyREST Brand products are made in the U.S.A.

  • Ergonomic Accessories
  • Mouse Pads
  • Under Desk Drawers
  • Keyboard Trays
  • Monitor Arms

Kelly wrist supports and keyboard and mouse trays provide relief from prolonged mouse use by utilizing revolutionary extreme high density ViscoFlex memory foam. Developed by NASA in the 1960’s, and now widely used in the Healthcare and Sleep Industries, ViscoFlex memory foam is slow to recover and does not bounce when pressure is released. It also adjusts to evenly distribute the pressure load from your hands and wrists, reducing pressure points.

The importance of using an adjustable keyboard tray cannot be overlooked. Trays such as the Leverless Lift N Lock natural keyboard tray offer the flexibility to tilt and move the tray into the most comfortable and ergonomically correct position. This reduces the pressure on your wrists, helping to avoid or relieve some of the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
