Great Keyboard Tray
By James Bailey
This is the lowest cost tray with 3Ms "Highly Adjustable Platform" meaning the keyboard will move to the left and right, the mouse tray is somewhat detached, moves laterally and you can angle it to fit your needs. Amazon has their description wrong for some of the models, namely the AKT90LE which only has the standard platform, but costs about $20 more. I almost paid more for that one without realizing that the keyboard doesn't move laterally like Amazon says, which was an important feature for me. Fortunately, I read the documentation.What sets this model apart from it's bigger brothers is the knob adjuster which is fine by me. I've used the automatic ones before and they are too easy to move out of position. I'm the only person that uses my desk so once I get it set, that's it for adjustments except for moving the keyboard left and right occasionally, or adjusting the mouse tray which are both independent of the knob adjuster.. The keyboard position stays locked in. The adjustments were a bit rough out of the box, but some 3 in 1 oil fixed them right up.I have a particle board desk - nothing fancy, just your run of the mill corner executive desk and the mounting hardware secured it to the desk and seems very sturdy to me. My previous keyboard tray was made of wood and was a bit heavier than this one.The mouse glides effortlessly over the 3M mouse pad. It reminds me a lot of the wow pad. Usually mouse pads on keyboard trays leave a lot to be desired so this is just an added bonus. My Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard fits it just right without the gel pad that's included.

By Nathan Grisham
I've been using this for almost four months and it's been great. My desk height was about four inches too high and even with a great chair (Herman Miller Mirra) I was experiencing daily hand, arm, and shoulder pain.This keyboard tray is very sturdy and has lots of adjustments. The separate mouse platform allows you to customize nicely.Two things I would HIGHLY recommend is to ditch the wrist rests and adjust the keyboard tray to tilt slightly way from you (make the spacebar higher than the numbers). Here's why:The rests actually cause more ergonomic problems for people. By holding your wrist in place, you are then making little twisting movements at your wrist to type keys or especially to move the mouse. Instead, practice moving your whole arm all the way up to your shoulder. Your larger muscles can take this kind of work much better than the tiny muscles in your hands and wrists.Having the keyboard tilt away from you slightly allows a more natural position for your hands. If you look down at your hands on your keyboard you'll see how your wrists are bent upward. That's unhealthy. Some tilt allows your hands to drop to about the same level as your wrist.Some years ago I had some repetitive strain injury and spent several months with a physical therapist. I learned so much from her including the couple of tips above. It's hard to create the habit to not rest our hands while mousing, but if you can do it, I promise your body will thank you!

Good enough.
By mike n ike
If you're going to keep a single setting for a long time, this is very good; if you intend to adjust this fairly often, consider one of the more easily adjustable models.
