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

The media could not be loaded. 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.

The actual base of it is pretty sturdy and mounts onto my desk pretty well.The rest of it is pretty crappy though. It's hard to slide. It's quite tilted. I used a bubble and found that the table it's attached to is tilted about 1 degree anticlockwise, but the shelf is tilted several degrees clockwise.I didn't notice at first that the mouse area is off to the right so I ended up installing it off center. That's on me, but that mouse area just feels a little flimsy.Overall, would not recommend, and I'm way past the return date so I'm going to go spend money on another keyboard tray that is hopefully a little nicer.
