 What an awesome product August 19, 2008
Mark C. Davis (Carson City, NV USA)
To anyone that is interested in getting a sit/stand articulating keyboard arm, this is a REALLY NICE product. I've purchased millions of dollars of systems furniture and with it... a few thousand keyboard arms, of varying manufactures. This one is of steel construction (track, arm, and tray structure)the actual tray is plastic but well built and the High Density Plastic slide mouse (left and right) is of great quality. The articulating arm has a vertical articulation of 12" with a tilt/lift function. The slope is a gear screw that loosens and tightens with a high quality lever arm. As an ergonomic specialist... I highly recommend this product!!!!! The installation is easy (and obviously I've installed a "FEW"). The mouse has a lower platform, typical of a slide tray. For those that have RPMD (repetitive motion disorder) the mouse is as importat as the keyboard, which is as important as the arm. buy a vertical mouse and/or keyboard from comfort at (I'm not the owner or an employee, but a user) http://www.comfortkeyboard.com/
heavy, strong, issue with directions August 12, 2008

This is a strong keyboard tray and really heavy and stable. The directions consisted of two different sheets of directions (not so good) and I also had leftover screws that didn't fit anything. A good deal except for the directions.

This a well-made,sturdy tray; however, the slide rack was much too long to fit my standard-sized desk. I also found the instructions were seriously inadequate. The biggest problem was the adjustability of the height -- I could never get it down to a comfortable level. This would be a good tray for very large desks and for those who need the tray to be at a higher level, but I do not recommend this for anyone with a U-shaped desk or anyone who likes a tray height that does not stress the shoulders.
Great keyboard tray, with only a couple small items keeping it from perfection July 4, 2008

Great keyboard tray. Extremely solid with quality workmanship seldom seen these days. Miles better than the many other trays out there that I've seen and tried out.
A couple things keeping it from being perfect:
1. The slide out mouse tray doesn't lock in place (it's just a nice plastic board that slides underneath to the left or right of the keyboard as necessary) so it can start rattling when typing and move in and out. It would be much preferable to have the mouse tray bolt on to either side, and actually wrap to the front to make it closer to hand. I'm thinking of putting together something myself to do so on both sides.
2. I have such long arms that any tray/desk I use must be as skinny as possible. This tray is over one inch thick (especially due to the the mouse tray receptacle all the way along the bottom). As such, it is extremely solid in construction, but definitely takes up too much room (especially with a large natural keyboard, space is at a premium under and in front of the desk).
3. And last, just a very small issue that warrants mentioning: the boom that makes it so you can sit or stand with it juts down - I've banged my leg on it a couple times. Having said this, I don't see how it could be designed any differently considering the fact that the boom has to go somewhere.
All in all, very pleased with my purchase.
Last keyboard try I'll need to buy May 31, 2008

I've used the less expensive keyboard trays sold at office stores, and they always seem to break after a couple of years. Or a critical plastic part shatters with one accidental bump. Their ball bearings start to bind or fall out so the tray doesn't roll in/out like it should. They have no height adjustment.
This arm and tray are quite different. The mostly-steel build is high quality and I haven't found any defects. It's clearly made to last, and would shrug off accidental bumps. There are no ball bearings to wear out, and a minimum of plastic used. The keyboard/mouse can be angled for typing comfort, though the mouse could slide off at a steep angle. I recommend adding a mouse pad with wrist rest, if you do a lot of mousing.
My desk/table is very deep, and I recessed the mounting bracket so that my keyboard/mouse disappear under the desktop by nearly 10 inches... great for non-computer work: sit right up to the desk. Yet, the keyboard/mouse can be extended about a foot (total) in front of the desk and angled for comfortable typing while reclining. The arm glides in/out on a greased track with four plastic (Delrin?) bearing points. After a long time of resting my wrists (get the optional palm rest), the tray sticks in position, but a little force frees it to glide in/out again.
The one disadvantage over those cheap keyboard trays is the size of the support arm. It sticks down 6.3 inches even when set for minimim profile (tray neither raised nor lowered). I've learned not to bang my knees on this "immovable object." When I push the tray all the way back, it's not an issue because the arm is well away from my knees.
Per other reviews, the instructions are minimal and you're expected to figure it out on your own (which isn't too hard). The thickness of your table/desk top must be enough to support a lot of force, especially with the arm extended and your wrists leaning on it. One-inch thick particle board seems fine - no sagging yet. The hard foam palm rest attachment is more firm than some squishy gel types, but quite comfortable over long periods of use and seems to wear well.
There is a large handle on the tray height/angle locking screw. It can be repositioned so the handle is out of the way - just pull the handle out, turn to the preferred position, and release. It re-engages at the new position.
I don't expect to need another keyboard tray, as this one should never wear out or break. But if I did buy another, it would be this Waterloo or equivalent.
