Better than I expected
By Jason M Potter on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023
I had my doubts with this product but because I'm a disabled individual and spend most my day in a recliner in front of my computer, this has given me the extra read needed to pull out and put away my keyboard. It's very sturdy. Nothing is completely perfect.. So here are my gripes. The underside of the keyboard arm is rigid vertical slats instead of a smooth horizonal surface. This makes it dig into the lap when trying to bring the keyboard all the way down to lap level. I have resorted to leaving it just above the lap in mid air, but the bulky underside still hits my knees when pushing back under the desk. The mouse arm is a bit too heavy. This causes the keyboard to tilt toward the mouse when your hand is resting on the mouse. It's a slight tilt, but noticeable. There needs to be a counter weight on the opposite side that offsets the weight of the mouse and hand. There are mounting holes on both sides so it can be used by either handed individuals. So it would be a simple matter to attach a counter wait on the opposite side to offset the tilt. The keyboard mount point is also fixed in place and doesn't rotate itself. The product only rotates on the back end of the armature, which very useful. However, adding support for turning the keyboard at the keyboard mount point would go along way to making this item near perfect for my needs. All in all, a very satisfied customer and I have recommended it to others.

Be very very very careful mounting the mouse tray to the keyboard tray.
By IT Guy on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018
The directions say to connect the mouse tray to the keyboard tray using 2 screws and two nuts. Wrong. The adjustment mechanism for the mouse tray is threaded - very badly - and the screws are not beveled properly. You must take GREAT CARE to not cross-thread the screws, and they really want to cross-thread. I would have re-tapped the holes in the mouse tray adjustment mechanism if I had that size tap. I would have used my own screws if I had that size screw. Alas. Just be careful. Very careful. When a screw starts to wander, stop, back it out, begin again. This product could easily have gotten 4 stars from me were it not for these shoddy screws. The vendor must hate these crews too, because they give you some extras, and matching washers that serve no purpose. Uncaged Ergonomics could easily put themselves out of business, selling this for $87 and providing screws that are worth paying me $85 to use. Really, I almost gave this two stars, it's that bad. Also, Phillips screws? In the 21st century?? Torx and a bit are what you provide with an $87 keyboard tray. They can't be stripped as easily. Other than that, this is easy to assemble and install. The platforms for mouse and keyboard are strong without being bulky or obtrusive. I mounted the mouse tray on the left without any problems aside from those miserable cheap screws. The usability is excellent. The only adjustment not available is lateral pitch which wouldn't be useful. The mouse tray is separately adjustable from the keyboard tray, both in forward-back angle and separation from the keyboard platform. The pair are adjustable in height and yaw, and can be slid completely beneath the desk surface. I set the back of the mounting plate 18 inches back from the edge of the desk: perfect. You'll want to test and measure your configuration. A decent quality mouse pad is provided for the mouse tray, and the keyboard is retained by friction via two sponge rubber strips. This mechanism comes with no wrist rests or pads, so consider the expense of those when purchasing.
