Heavy Duty, Huge, and a little wobbly
This keyboard tray is humongous. There is way more than enough room on it for a keyboard and mouse. With the keyboard on it, there is plenty of room to move the mouse around. There is an option to decrease its size by 1/3, but that would limit it to keyboard only.
The articulating arm is made out of some heavy duty metal. The tray is made out of plastic, but there is a metal brace that you attach to the bottom of the tray. The articulating arm attaches to the metal brace and keyboard tray.
The tray is a little wobbly, but is only really noticeable when you type on the number pad. I can live with the wobbly due to price point and function of the articulating arm. The wobble seems to come from the looseness of the of travel slide that the articulating arm moves in. Maybe that can be modified.
Bottom line. For the price, this is an excellent buy.
I have had the keyboard tray for 8 months now and I have some additional thoughts on this keyboard tray.
- I highly recommend that you add super glue to the retaining plastic retaining nuts that go on the bolts that allow the articulating arm to pivot. You will find these plastic nuts on the floor one day and not know what they go to and may end up throwing them away. Without the nuts the bolts start to back out which would make the articulating arm fall apart. With super glue added, the bolts never start backing out.
- I like to brace the keyboard tray on my thigh or one arm of my chair to stop the tray from wobbling.
- I still love the keyboard tray. I really like that the articulating arm allows me to stow it under my desk when not in use.
