KT1 Ergonomic Keyboard Tray Under Desk - Under Desk Keyboard Tray Slide Out with Adjustable Height and Tilt - Easy to Slide and Swivel 360 Degree - Keyboard Drawer with Adjustable Mouse Pad

Wow, this keyboard tray is awesome! If you need a keyboard tray, especially for a desk that has a metal support rail set about 2 inches back from the edge on the bottom making it tough to find something that can both clear that and still be used at a comfortable ergonomic height when extended and in use. This fit the application extremely well! Observations when assembling/installing: The mouse mounting bracket did *seem* to be crossthreading when I put the screws in, but with the proper size Phillips screw driver its more of a built in lock washer effect when screwed completely in, just without the washer. I actually ended up using the washers on another project since it doesn't seem like they are needed for either the KB/mouse trays or the fasteners that screw in to the desk. Ill be shocked if any of them get loose as it IS a keyboard tray and not a jungle gym. Final impressions: Super solid construction provided you don't mount it on a 50 year old folding card table! I didn't think I would use the mouse tray, but I went ahead and put it on to check it out and its definitely staying. The single adjustment 'bike seat' lever makes it easy to move it down far enough to slide it under the desk when its not being used and is just as easy to slide back out and up to the height of my chair arms. This makes it super comfortable to rest your forearms on the chair while using both the keyboard and mouse. As an unexpected bonus they even included a mouse pad in the box cut to size, a nice addition to include as my washable fabric razor gaming mat is a bit too big for the area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My thoughts on other reviewers and their insane ramblings start here: I was kinda wondering if I had made the right purchase here after scanning through some of the reviews. Then I looked a bit closer and saw titles like "Dssign needs improvement" I had to do a double take based on nothing but the spelling alone. This particular reviewer went on to say the following: "Someone has to crawl under the desk and drill holes in the underside after holding the entire thing up to position it. Once you figure out where to position the plate that attaches to the desk, you have to disconnect the plate from the keyboard platform in order to screw it into the desk." Yeah dude, that's how these things get done.... what exactly did you expect? Did you really expect it to jump out of the box and magically mount itself while you fit in your afternoon nap? I assembled and installed it in less than 10 minutes with no help, and using nothing more than a hand screwdriver and a pair of pliers to hold the nuts on the bottom of the KB tray while tightening the screws. Then I held it up where I wanted it and marked one of the screw holes in the middle of the slide with a marker, then set the assembly down while I took my hand screw driver and put one screw in on the sharpie mark I had made. After that it was easy to just remove that screw, hold it up with one hand, and replace the screw which easily held it up while I was finishing the 7 others. I'm thinking some of these reviewers are JUST MENTALLY SLOW, because that was actually easier than I had anticipated! Before receiving and inspecting it I was sure it would need to be disassembled before mounting, but nope! This mental midget of a product connoisseur/reviewer goes on: "I don't know what other reviewers mean by 'easy installation.' It's NOT." LOL! They keep going on and on about how pathetically weak and clumsy they are, then proceed to speculate on what will happen when the rubber material 'wears off' (rips off because they are clumsy and whatever the opposite of intelligent is...): "the adjustment levers are tight and difficult to adjust." "And there is no lip around the mouse platform to keep the mouse from sliding off, which it does on a regular basis." "there is no lip on the keyboard tray either so it may slide off once the rubberized strips get worn down." LMAO!!! I can't even. Some people amirite? Talk about a total deficit of practical knowledge and skill. Too bad it seems to be more common lately... I wonder what happens when this individual gets a flat tire and no one is around to sing a soothing tune while changing it for them. I'd guess someone finds them in the fetal position in the back seat of their vehicle a couple days later muttering something about lug nuts and too tight... HAHA

I purchased this as an open box. In spite of it stating it may be missing parts, it had them all. Very happy about that. The install was quick and easy. Tools used: 10mm wrench and a 10mm socket and ratchet, or cordless drill, a Phillips head screwdriver, a small 1/8th inch drill bit to make pilot holes for the screws, and lastly double-sided tape. To start, I removed two of the screws from the main body on one end. This allowed me to remove the sliding section and support mechanism. The reason for that is to make installing it more accessible. Next, I disassembled the sliding mechanism to make the task of attaching the support to the keyboard tray easier, too. I then reassembled the sliding tray and adjusting the mechanism with the attached keyboard tray. Be sure not to lose any of the clear washers. There are six of them in all. After carefully putting all the parts back together, I tested it to be sure I had it set up correctly. Note: I screwed up and had to undo and reattach it. I failed to get the two slotted arms in place. The next thing I did was to attach the mouse tray attachment to the keyboard tray. You may have noticed in other reviews that the holes are not properly aligned. This is true. I had to use a small file to give me the necessary room to get the screw to fit properly. It didn't take much work. I took out less than a millimeter of material. Once that was done, I inserted both screws and tightened them down starting with the one in the hole I did not modify. This ensured that one of them would fully seat itself. The other one I tightened as much as possible and it is rock steady. To mount the body under my desk, I used the two-sided tape to hold it in place. Then, I drilled the pilot holes. Once the pilot holes were drilled (they only need to be a couple of mm deep), I firmly attached it with all eight screws. This baby is not coming off! The next part was the most difficult. The sliding mechanism is made up of two pieces of purpose formed plastic attached to each side of the main mechanism. It is a tight fit and took a bit of effort to get it in place. Once that was done, I took the two short bolts and the plastic pieces that I initially removed, and put them back in place. Lastly, I attached the mouse tray. There is one knob-wheel to adjust the left and right position of the mouse tray. This one works just fine. The one on the tray itself to hold it from rocking back and forth, once you have it where you want is a joke. It holds but not really well. I'm going to see about adding a lever to it for better torque. The images are there to show the parts and the position of various items and where they belong. The video is to show the whole once it was installed. I am very happy with this product, in spite of the two little issues of needing to expand the mounting hole and the inability of the mouse tray to be more firmly tightened. I would highly suggest this to anyone looking for one of these. The price is good and it is solid enough. Of course, it helps if the person installing it is handy with tools and making minor modifications.

I had my doubts with this product but because I'm a disabled individual and spend most my day in a recliner in front of my computer, this has given me the extra read needed to pull out and put away my keyboard. It's very sturdy. Nothing is completely perfect.. So here are my gripes. The underside of the keyboard arm is rigid vertical slats instead of a smooth horizonal surface. This makes it dig into the lap when trying to bring the keyboard all the way down to lap level. I have resorted to leaving it just above the lap in mid air, but the bulky underside still hits my knees when pushing back under the desk. The mouse arm is a bit too heavy. This causes the keyboard to tilt toward the mouse when your hand is resting on the mouse. It's a slight tilt, but noticeable. There needs to be a counter weight on the opposite side that offsets the weight of the mouse and hand. There are mounting holes on both sides so it can be used by either handed individuals. So it would be a simple matter to attach a counter wait on the opposite side to offset the tilt. The keyboard mount point is also fixed in place and doesn't rotate itself. The product only rotates on the back end of the armature, which very useful. However, adding support for turning the keyboard at the keyboard mount point would go along way to making this item near perfect for my needs. All in all, a very satisfied customer and I have recommended it to others.

The directions say to connect the mouse tray to the keyboard tray using 2 screws and two nuts. Wrong. The adjustment mechanism for the mouse tray is threaded - very badly - and the screws are not beveled properly. You must take GREAT CARE to not cross-thread the screws, and they really want to cross-thread. I would have re-tapped the holes in the mouse tray adjustment mechanism if I had that size tap. I would have used my own screws if I had that size screw. Alas. Just be careful. Very careful. When a screw starts to wander, stop, back it out, begin again. This product could easily have gotten 4 stars from me were it not for these shoddy screws. The vendor must hate these crews too, because they give you some extras, and matching washers that serve no purpose. Uncaged Ergonomics could easily put themselves out of business, selling this for $87 and providing screws that are worth paying me $85 to use. Really, I almost gave this two stars, it's that bad. Also, Phillips screws? In the 21st century?? Torx and a bit are what you provide with an $87 keyboard tray. They can't be stripped as easily. Other than that, this is easy to assemble and install. The platforms for mouse and keyboard are strong without being bulky or obtrusive. I mounted the mouse tray on the left without any problems aside from those miserable cheap screws. The usability is excellent. The only adjustment not available is lateral pitch which wouldn't be useful. The mouse tray is separately adjustable from the keyboard tray, both in forward-back angle and separation from the keyboard platform. The pair are adjustable in height and yaw, and can be slid completely beneath the desk surface. I set the back of the mounting plate 18 inches back from the edge of the desk: perfect. You'll want to test and measure your configuration. A decent quality mouse pad is provided for the mouse tray, and the keyboard is retained by friction via two sponge rubber strips. This mechanism comes with no wrist rests or pads, so consider the expense of those when purchasing.

Where to even begin? Its the heaviest SOB and even mounting it under the desk was a bit of a chore. If you were hoping to get the cheapest screws and hardware you've ever seen, congrats, you're in luck! I stripped 4 screws and 3 bolts just trying to get it assembled. They included a few extra, but it didn't matter, it was still impossible. The holes in the metal that were pre-drilled did not really fit the screws, so a huge part of the problem was only being able to put the screw in part of the way before it started to strip, and if you're not careful, you'll end up with a completely stripped screw that is halfway in and jiggling around, and impossible to get out. Once I bought more screws and finally got it assembled, it was heavy but somehow felt cheap, the mouse pad insert was leaning down and away from me and unable to be corrected. After literally troubleshooting and buying more stuff just to make this product work the way it was designed to work, it still didn't work. Pulling the tray out is not smooth, the mouse pad insert was completely useless and hard to configure. I bought this because it looked heavy duty and well made. Boy was I surprised. Returning this immediately and ordering one that works.

Love this tray. Was looking for something low profile that didn't have an annoying wrist rest to get in the way. Positions easily and very sturdy. Uses the same track as my old tray, seems common hardware that is very well-made. The mouse pad is what is should be (where did all these ovals come from) and positions well. Has improved my typing (partially cause my old one wasn't lined up correctly.) Another plus is because it is simple it will be easy to clean instead of being a dirt magnet like my old one.

I wish I could like this keyboard tray. It's made from good materials, but suffers from fit and finish issues: • Nice nylon sliders that work reasonably smoothly, but they're not fitted right so the tray has sloppy side-to-side motion. This isn't a killer issue; when you're tying it's reasonably stable. • During installation I had to enlarge the size of the mount holes to accept the correct screw, and the holes to the front of the tray really should be moved backward and out of the way of the stabilizing bar underneath; it's more challenging to get the nut to thread on the screw than it should be. • There's two high quality rubber strips applied across the tray, about 2" wide and 1/16" thick. This might be lovely if you have a large keyboard that's completely covering the tray, but mine is small and my wrists are hitting this stuff, it's totally in my way and very difficult to remove. It would be MUCH better if they included this for the end user to apply if they wanted it. • The mouse pad tray has an adjustable angle, and the fastener isn't a quick-release as on the keyboard angle (it definitely should be a quick release — this is a significant oversight). What is supplied is a screw with a hex head, and that size hex hex wrench isn't supplied. I'm mentioning this because there's another set of screws with a smaller hex head and a wrench is supplied. But the real issue I've got is that the mouse tray is elevated from the keyboard tray by about 1.5 inches. No mater how you tilt it, there's no way to get it to be flush with the keyboard tray. That's not explained anywhere and isn't visually obvious in the photos — you can see it tilt, but I was certainly assuming you could have it not tilt and it would flush with the tray. Not the case. I called the customer service line (they're competent and nice) and the CSR explained that they're going to have a fix out for this in a few months, but right now there's nothing available. I'm going to have to return this, which is really disappointing. I thought I'd found a reasonably priced keyboard tray; looks like I'm going to have to spring for one that's twice what this costs. That said, this may be perfect for you. I'd keep it if the mouse tray was able to flush with the main tray; I was able to resolve all the other issues I pointed out.

This is the ergonomic tray everyone should get. First off, it actually has negative tilt! A must for me. Second, the mouse pad tray can have a different separate tilt and can be attached at 2 different levels. This is a must for me as my keyboard is about 2 inches thick and I want the mouse in line with the keys. This gets it pretty close. Aspects that need to be improved and thus you must make adjustments, but not bad enough not to use this item: there are non slip grips to keep keyboard in place. One strip doesn't line up with my ergonomic keyboard which bends upwards and thus doesn't touch. I have to put something on the end to keep keyboard from moving. And there's no nonslip aspect to mouse pad tray, so mouse pad slips all over. I will be taping it down and that should work. My large keyboard in negative tilt position will not fit completely under desk when sliding under. Sticking out a bit is fine for me, or I can change the tilt angle and it will be fine...but that means always adjusting it. I attached this to an adjustable height desk. This does not account for the bar that runs across the under side of desk...hence the track sticks out 3/4 inch on my desk. Again, not a deal breaker for me. The first one I got did not sit level. I contact them and they sent me a new track with keyboard arm as soon as I provided proof of purchase. The new arm sits level but my mouse pad tray currently still sits crooked with the original hardware I received, so I have contacted them again regarding that. I return to work in a couple weeks and will now be working from home and so I had to create a whole new set up. I ordered a tray from another company that said they have negative tilt, but they didn't, nor did they have the option for the mouse to be at a different angle or height. This is seriously the most actual ergonomic slide out tray available, and its almost perfect.
