Keyboard Trays - Mount-It!

Under Desk Keyboard Tray

There are several types of keyboard trays available on the market, each with its own set of features and benefits. One popular option is the "under-desk mount" keyboard tray, which attaches directly to the underside of a desk or workstation. This type of tray is often adjustable, allowing the user to change the height and angle of the tray for optimal typing posture.

Clamp On Keyboard Tray

Another popular option is the "clamp-on" keyboard tray, which attaches to the edge of a desk or workstation using a clamp. This type of tray is often more versatile, as it can be used with a variety of different desks and workstations.

For desks without the option to drill or mount underneath, clamp-on keyboard trays provide a flexible alternative. These keyboard trays for desks work well in home offices, shared workstations, or adjustable height desks where repositioning is important.

Desk Keyboard Trays For Standing

There are also "standing" keyboard trays that can be adjusted to the standing height, and this type of tray is becoming more popular for people who are using standing desks to improve their posture and overall health.

How To Choose A Keyboard Tray

In addition to the different types of keyboard trays, such as pull out keyboard trays and clamp on keyboard trays, there are also different features to consider when choosing a keyboard tray. Some trays have a built-in mouse pad, which can be useful for keeping the mouse within easy reach while typing. Other trays have a built-in wrist rest, which can help to reduce strain on the wrists while typing.

When choosing a keyboard tray, it's important to consider the size of your keyboard and mouse, as well as the type of desk or workstation you have. Some trays may not be compatible with certain types of desks or workstations, so it's important to check the manufacturer's specifications before making a purchase.

If you prefer a sliding solution, a keyboard tray under desk design—often referred to as a keyboard drawer—lets you tuck the tray away when not in use, keeping your workspace clean and efficient.

Are Keyboard Trays Good

Overall, keyboard trays can be an important component of ergonomic office setups. They can help to reduce strain on the wrists, shoulders, and neck while typing, and can help to improve posture and overall comfort. With a variety of types and features to choose from, there is a keyboard tray that can meet the needs of any user.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are keyboard trays worth it?

Yes, if your desk is too high for your arms. A tray set at elbow height keeps your arms at a neutral angle and your wrists straight, which reduces strain on the wrists, shoulders and neck during long typing sessions. If your desk already sits at elbow height, you may not need one.

What's the difference between an under-desk tray and a clamp-on tray?

An under-desk tray screws into the underside of the desk on a track and usually slides, tilts and swivels. A clamp-on tray grips the front edge with no drilling, which suits rented desks, shared desks and standing desks.

Can you add a keyboard tray to any desk?

Most desks, yes. Our clamp-on trays MI-7180 and MI-7181 fit desktops up to 1.77" thick. Track trays screw into the underside, so they need a solid top that takes screws (not glass) and free space for the track or bracket: 14.1" to 18.2" long depending on the model, and 25" deep for the MI-7139 standing platform.

What is a keyboard drawer?

A keyboard drawer is a sliding keyboard tray mounted under the desk. It pulls out when you type and slides back in for a clear desktop. The MI-7136 drawer extends up to 10".

How do I install a keyboard tray on a computer table?

Measure first: the desktop thickness for a clamp-on tray, or the free length and width under the top for a track. A clamp-on tray tightens onto the front edge without drilling. A track tray screws into the underside and the tray then mounts to the track. Our product pages link the manual, and many link an install video.

What is the best keyboard tray for a standing desk?

One that moves with the desktop. A clamp-on or track tray rides up and down with the top, so it stays at your elbow height whether you sit or stand. Our MI-7180 and MI-7181 clamp-on trays are made for sit-stand desks, and the MI-7139 platform sets anywhere from 4.7" below to 8.7" above the tabletop.
