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 bought a used version of this item to try it out without sinking $100 into an under-desk mount. I've been big on ergonomics and liked the mouse adjustment as I like to have my keyboard decline downward but my mouse relatively flat.
Instalation was straightforward forward and with a couple of pieces of scrap wood was able to install this on my standing desk. I really like the design. The wood is thin and has a minimalist look that takes away from the most competitors who tend to look chunky.
After several weeks of use, I love it but found they could have designed it better by doing the following:
1. Provide offsetting attachment holes on the keyboard portion if you use the mouse extension. As it is built, the keyboard is centered but when you apply weight to the mouse, and not that much I might add, then the table flexes and over time I am afraid it will warp the device. Most under-mount tables are single tables that are used for both keyboard and mouse and are centered on the attachment arm.
2. The slide mechanism is friction-based, which requires me to lift slightly on the keyboard tray before sliding it in or out. This may be a feature, but I felt a wheel or bearing system with a brake mechanism would have made this feel more premium and warrant the higher-than-average price tag.
I love the tray and how it has further helped with my posture, but there is room for improvement.
Cons: Difficult to install. It's very heavy, which is good for sturdiness,. But it's bulky and hard to support the weight while positioning it and installing it. IT takes two people to install it. 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. I don't know what other reviewers mean by "easy installation." It's NOT. The adjustment levers are tight and difficult to adjust. I suggest finding your sweet spot and leaving it there. The mouse tray can be moved sideways or tilted front to back, but it cannot be moved in up or back, only in line with the keyboard platform. And there is no lip around the mouse platform to keep the mouse from sliding off, which it does on a regular basis. I don't know how many more times the mouse will survive its frequent crash to the floor. The mouse pad that comes with the platform slides off too. Very poor design. The keyboard platform has rubberized strips that mostly hold the keyboard in place. But there's nothing but a flat piece of metal to hold the mouse. BTW, there is no lip on the keyboard tray either so it may slide off once the rubberized strips get worn down.
Overall, the design sounds better in the description than it is in reality. I'm not completely happy with it, but I'll keep it and see if I can figure out how to mitigate its faults.
Top reviews from other countries
The included hardware and surface works great for most uses and keeps wobble to a minimum but I'm a fan of having a large surface (my current mouse pad is 17"x15") so I removed the included surface and currently use a single 36"x16" piece of 3/4" maple plywood instead and it still works. Although I do plan on cutting it down a bit to make it easier to adjust.
Keep in mind that the hardware allows for about 9" of sliding back under the desk, which is fine for the included surface, but obviously not for my huge one. The good news is you can get a 2nd set of rails, remove the bumpers and align them to allow for more sliding range.
All in all I'm very satisfied with the kits, the quality is there and if it can hold my 16"x36" piece of plywood I can assure you it's sturdy enough to hold a more typical setup.
Being a UK customer it took a while to arrive from New York but when it came I was very impressed with the solid build quality of the product, a lot heavier than I expected. Does everything I would like it to do, and the fact the mouse holder is an optional extra is another bonus.
The only negative I must point out is that some moving parts where a bit stiff when they arrived but a quick spray with some WD 40 fixed these.
Bueno:
- Fácil montaje. Los raíles no sufren del peso alejado con el teclado.
- No se tambalea al teclar.
- La cantidad de movimientos disponibles: sacar/meter, subir/bajar, girar, etc.
- Se puede ajustar la dureza de las resistencias/bloqueos en las artículaciones. Al principio pensaba que la palanca para bloquear la elevación de la bandeja era demasiado blanda, pero girándola se aumenta o disminuye la tensión ejercida.
Malo:
- La bandeja del ratón provoca mayor peso en uno de los dos lados de la bandeja del teclado, por lo que está ligeramente inclinado. Poco perceptible, pero está ahí.
