Fellowes Office Suites Underdesk Keyboard Drawer, Black/Silver (9140305)

I really like this keyboard tray. It is lightweight but holds the keyboard nicely, and the pull-out mouse tray also holds both my mousepad and mouse perfectly. I bought this keyboard tray to replace the drawer in my desk and, with the mouse tray being retractable, it’s a perfect fit without having to remove the drawer guides which I didn’t want to do in case I want to use the drawer again later. I would buy this item again. Very happy with it.

Great budget pieceThe main target for this product are1. Students, who have textbooks, pages, and notebooks on the desk, and2. People whose monitors / screens are pretty close to the edge of the desk and they could use a little room to lean back, get some distance from the screen, and type on the keyboard and fit something else in front of the monitor, like a snack, beverage, or what-not.This is made of plastic. The guides and connectors are metal, but the tray is not. If you are willing to spend more, you can get the whole thing out of metal, and I wouldn't be as afraid of scratching or damaging it.It needs to come down lower. You're going to want to find some wood spacers half inch to an inch if you want to use it without pulling it out all the way.It's a little gummy at the end of the track when you pull it out all the way. This means that it is quiet, but it also means that it's not very satisfying when you've pulled it out completely, and gets a little stuck there if you tug on it.If you already have a spacious desk space, I think you'll end up using this like a little drawer, which is fine. It's just more natural and convenient to have the keyboard on top of the desk most of the time. This just gives you a choice.The installation wasn't too difficult for me because I put it on a standing desk, but if it is a cramped space underneath it, maybe it wouldn't be as easy.

I've had this for 3 years, and it's held up well for the price. The tray is big enough to hold my TKL keyboard and wireless phone charger, and the mouse area is mostly fine. It's not really designed to use with a mousepad (you can't slide it back in if you use one), and certain mice seem to wear down the texture on the plastic. I was constantly picking bits of plastic out of the feet on my Logitech mouse, but the Keychron mouse I recently bought doesn't seem to have this issue. Still, the fact that a relatively cheap keyboard tray has held up to 3 years of constant use is impressive.My only real beef with this tray is the difficulty of installing and adjusting it. It's attached to the underside of the desk by screws, and you may feel like you need an extra arm when installing it. Similarly, adjusting the height involves removing 4 screws from nuts that don't back up against anything. Unless you put some tape behind them, they WILL end up on the floor.Fortunately, once you get the height right, you probably won't have to make adjustments very often, so I still recommend this tray overall.

This keyboard tray is lightweight and was easy to install. I like the mouse tray that is attached as well. The tray slides easily and has an adjustable lever on the back to adjust to your keyboard size. The mouse tray slides underneath the keyboard tray if not in use. I followed the directions that came with the item and they were easy to follow. It took about 15 minutes. I did not turn my desk over. I taped the guide to the underside of the desk, drilled the holes, and attached the keyboard tray with the screws provided. It is very lightweight. This is an excellent item at a great price.

Loved the easiness of using this keyboard/mouse shelf. It worked really well with my L-Shaped desk. It was super easy to put together. The fit was a bit snug. but I was still able to extend the mouse table when the shelf was pulled out during use. Seems pretty durable. I also like that you can switch which side the mouse rests on.

I think the majority of the time I've spent using this thing, really, has been largely a waste.I'm not suggesting it's bad for what it is, I think it's just bad for what it's supposed to be.I'm trying to justify it, because price point is solid for what it offers, The thing is, it's kind of a temporary solution for a permanent problem. And the market niche it's filling is concerned with solving a permanent problem, not a workaround to eventually solve such problem at a later time.So I guess I'll start at the beginning, because the beginning tends to be good for a place to begin.The item does have a lot of "features". It's height adjustable, a small nut locks in a plastic slot in the plastic anchor "L" joint. I.E. the thing that you screw into to affix to the desk. This system works okay, is kind of annoying to mess with under a desk, but it is what it is. Try to guess how much room you'll need prior to putting the keyboard tray in place. Because unscrewing the locks for the height adjustment is a royal pain in the arse once installed. Mostly because evolution of that third hand is still on back order.You can put the mouse slider where you want, which to me kind of makes no sense unless this is a laptop wireless mouse station, which I accept could be common. I mean if you really think about it for corded mouse desktop solutions, the slider comes out... once, for most applications, unless you intend on moving the mouse into the tray every time you're done, which I could see being a thing I guess, but... I dunno, the feature is kind of solving a nonexistent problem. Your mouse, is going to be on the pull out bit, and for like 98% of people, it's just gonna stay there. With this comes the pad wear and tear. Man I never thought this would be a thing. I work 10 hours shifts, at home, with a mouse on the plastic. Now, you'd normally be sitting there going... Okay, yes, that's what it's for. But, I hadn't considered the wear of the plastic. Every month or so I'd have this odd build up of stuff where the mouse was. Now, maybe I was a slob? At first, I thought, maybe. So I wiped it up with antibacs I had laying about. Black. I'm like... wait, black? If I'm a slob I'm an incredible slob for black. Sure enough, the mousepad is now smooth. No bumps anymore. Holy crap. I've buffed it smooth. But every month, I'd worn it more. And it was just odd because eventually, I got this somewhat odd texture of the fine removed plastic which would build up, and have to be cleaned off. Now if it sounds gross, it wasn't, it was just noticeable. Mouse would glide great, and then you'd get this powdery grit, like fine sawdust. Except it was black. It just was annoying. And it'd mess with your mouse just enough. Wipe it down, good for a few more weeks. Livable. No harm done, but I think the plastics here are incredibly soft, and that's a good enough segue to my next criticism.The plastic L brackets are well... plastic. They're not particularly sturdy. One of Mine broke on one side of the bracket after less than year in place, I managed to repair it with a significant amount of hot glue for an extra few months, around 3 or 4, and then one fateful day, the whole L bracket sheared straight in two. So I've had this thing since the end of may '19, and it's august '20 now. Now, I think you're going, wow, 25 bucks for a year and a few months? Sounds great!, But in reality, how many times have you replaced your keyboard tray on a desk you owned. Well... you don't, at least not usually. Maybe the tracks because they wear out after a lot of years of use, and they're bearings, that makes sense. But the actual structural hardware? I mean... maybe pulling the keyboard tray out of a stripped desk hole because it's particle board. Yeah. But, functional keyboard hardware pretty much doesn't ever come into play, unless you bend things. Wait... Bend.Nobody makes L brackets for their crap out of plastic. And I realized, the functional issue with this thing, is it's a temporary, time bomb fixture, masquerading as a permanent one. Because plastic, isn't great for load bearing. You don't realize it, but you rest your arm's weight on the tray, you'll support your head with your elbow on it, you'll park both of your hands on the dag gone thing for minutes, deep in thought. Heck some people might put supplies in it.I think at that point, it's pretty easy to realize what the problem is. the hardware for the business end, to hook it to the desk, is just always a wisp away from being twisted, torqued, stressed or bent in such a simplistic way that it generates a crack in the plastic on the L bracket, and then it's just a matter of time before sustained forces sever that connection to the desk. This won't happen on most things, because they use metal. Bent, isn't broken. Fatigued isn't broken. It really is a significant flaw. Replace those brackets with metal ones? This thing would last as long as any desk you had, probably. The molded plastic is solid and rigid, the tracks for the tray are good, and really the build quality on most parts are good. But, the connection points just let it down.Quite literally.
