VIVO Black Clamp-on 20 x 11 in Keyboard Tray, MOUNT-KB05ES

Pros: 1. Very study -- vigorous typing doesn't faze it. 2. My standard keyboard with number pad, etc., leaves plenty of room for my mouse. 3. My infrared mouse seems to work well directly on the unit's surface, which is a slightly roughened black plastic. When I had the mouse on my wooden desktop, it didn't work nearly as well -- had to use a mouse pad, which I no longer need. 4. Unit slides in and out smoothly. I was worried that it might slide too easily, but it seems to stay at whatever extended location I choose. in other word, moving it requires a bit of force -- a good thing. Cons 1. Clamps to your desk. This is easy, versatile, but not so great visually and if you do a lot of non-computer work (with the unit under the desk) you might find your arms contacting the clamps, which stick up nearly 1/4 inch above the desk top. The working space between these clamps is about 27 inches. 2. No height adjustment. It seems to be designed for a "standard" desk. It's perfect for me -- my legs fit under it easily and it's support surface is at the height of my chair's armrests. My wife's desk is lower and it definitely wouldn't work for her. Other comments 1. If your mouse and/or keyboard have cords, you'll probably want to route them somehow -- depending on where you're connecting. Prior to getting this unit, my cords went down the back of my desk and were out of the way. With the unit installed I needed to attach the cords to the underside of my desk to keep them from hanging down and getting tangled in my feet. 2. I'm hoping this will help mitigate "mouse shoulder", which was starting to bother me. (My wife points out that cutting back on video game play time might be even more effective. That will be my last resort.) So far, so good. Update after many years of use: Still working well. It did indeed cure my "mouse shoulder" problem. Two minor negatives: 1. The surface on which I rested my mouse eventually wore down to a very smooth and shiny finish, forcing me to add a mouse pad. Most of those barely fit next to a standard keyboard but I found something that works. 2. I would really like some way to lock it in the extended position. It extends and retracts so easily that I find myself having to keep pulling it back out, especially during gaming when I need it to be stationary.

Overall I am satisfied with this keyboard/mouse pad tray. I do question the need for assembling the tray part that your keyboard sits on. This was the most time consuming part of assembly and I think it could have been built in one piece. Other reviews emphasize the need to check for and measure under the desk for any obstructions that might prevent attaching the tray to the desk and for tray moving distance. Also measure the thickness of the edge of the desk that the clamps go on to. I think, but am not sure, that the maximum thickness is 1.75" s. Both of these suggestions are good ideas. You will end up with a few extra screws when you are done. NOTE: Look for the L and R marked on clamps and track rails. Also, during assembly, you can choose between two options for how far the tray extends from under the desk. Once the tray is assembled attaching it to my desk was easy. Soft plastic pads prevent the clamps from marring the desk top. It is sturdy BUT you should not lean on it. It seems to be good value for the price and should fit just about any desk. My mouse pad has all the space beside the keyboard that it needs. I feel that it looks good, seems to be of good quality, and works as advertised.

This is a nice keyboard tray. There is a known issue of the tray walking away from you as you type. My fix was to purchase a Barrel Bolt Latch and mount it on each side to keep the tray from doing that. The extended pin prevents it from walking. Had this come with something like that, they'd have gotten five stars. The width accommodates my keyboard and my rollerball mouse, along with a wrist rest for each. My desk is a lesser cost up/down desk so I needed to take into consideration the measurement of the space allotment under the desk so it didn't interfere with the up/down drive pin. This works and I can move the keyboard at a whim, not locking me into a specific position at the desk. Value for the money I think is very fair. Drill accuracy was good, very easy to assemble. The ease of use is great. Put a lock mechanism into play on this and you have a great tray. I am very well pleased with this set-up. I don't need the tray to tip forward as the pad I have it on does this. I adjust the height of the desk for ccommodating my wrist/hand tilt. Ergonomic perfection? Nop[e. But it works for me.

Update January 2022 Tray is great but if you're like my wife who likes to rest her elbows on the tray... over time the (4) M4 screws that attach the sliding rails to the tray will strip. This will cause the whole tray to fall and can be quite dangerous. This happened at least 3 times until the screws were useless. I was on the verge of buying another tray when I decided to see if I can replace the screws. For less than a $1, I replaced the M4 screws with longer M4-0.7 x 8mm. You can get this at your local big box hardware store. I also recommend adding a dap of locktite on the screws as well to avoid them loosening on their own. This made the tray extremely sturdy without jamming up the slide. M4-0.7 x 10mm would be too long. So stick to the 8mm. I believe the original M4 were only 5mm. Highly recommend everyone to do this to make the tray more sturdy and safe. Wife is happy again! CHEERS! ********************** WFH, my wife works at the dining table which isn't the best for ergonomics. After awhile her wrists/hands were hurting because the table, where her keyboard was, was too high. A keyboard tray would be the solution but since it's a dining table there were challenges to overcome and I got lucky with all the measurements. As a keyboard tray it's probably the best and largest one out there for an edge mounted configuration. I needed one to fit both a full 10-key size keyboard AND enough room for a mouse. This was the ONLY one that fit the need. The mounting hardware is very solid, heavy duty metal. For the parts that come in contact with the table, it comes with rubber pads for protection. It's sturdy enough to put some weight on, like if you wanted to rest your elbow on it. I'm going to provide some key specs that I couldn't find but is very important to know if it this will work for you: - The first is understanding the limit of how thick the table can be to use this. The max spec stated for this product is that it can support up to 1.75" thickness. I can safely say that it's an exact number. My dining table is exactly that thick. The mounting hardware will fit this thickness but it will be a bit tight, +/- 1/8" tolerance. So if your table is greater than 1.75" then this will not work for you as the mounting hardware will not fit. - Next is understanding the required depth from the edge of the table where you must have a flat surface underneath the table to clamp the bottom pressure plate to. The mounting hardware is attached via a clamp style mechanism. There is a metal plate at the bottom attached to a screw handle. You tighten this so it "clamps" to your table. This is important to note especially if your table has a recessed, beveled edge that curves underneath vs. a squared edge. Also sometimes, certain desk and tables have support hardware underneath that may interfere with the mounting point. My dining table had a recessed, beveled edge and it was questionable whether I'd have a solid flat surface to clamp to. PLEASE NOTE: FROM 1.5" in from the edge of the table, you must have a flat surface underneath the table to clamp on to. If 1.5" in from the edge of your table, the surface is curved, angled, or exceeds 1.75" in thickness, then you have no way to mount the hardware. 1.5" from the edge of the table is where the center of the screw plate. - Next is the amount of clearance you will have IF you have a 1.75" thick table. If you're pushing the max limit in table thickness, you are giving up clearance that may or may not allow you to retract the keyboard under the table when you're not using it. For me, I'm at the max thickness and as a result I only have 1.5" from the surface of the keyboard try to the bottom of my table. This means, my keyboard AND mouse cannot be taller than 1.5" in height. My wife uses a thin Logitech wireless keyboard that just meets this height but her MX Master 2 is too tall. As a result, while she has a keyboard tray she can use, she cannot retract it underneath the table. It was still worth using to be pain free. Since we're going to be in this WFH situation for the long haul, the need to tuck your keyboard away is trivial. I also should mention that if you have a ergo keyboard and it's important for you to store it underneath your table, it's highly this won't work for you. You need to have massive clearance for those keyboards. - Lastly, the one tip I have is some people have mentioned the keyboard seems to not stay in place if retracted all the way in or all the way out. I have the latter where the tray on the left side, for some reason, doesn't extend all the way out whereas the right side does. It turns out this is due to the mounting hardware on the side that has the issue being a bit rotated. All you need to do is rotate/twist the mounting hardware a bit to resolve the retraction/extension issue. Sometimes, what happens is my wife's chair will hit the tray and cause the mounting hardware to rotate a bit, which cause some warping or deflection of the keyboard tray tracks, which leads to the issue. The other problem could be that your flat surface is not leveled such that your mounting hardware are at different heights ever so slightly. Ultimately, the keyboard tray tracks need to be as leveled and parallel to each other as possible. I highly recommend if it works for your specifications.

Everything about this is great. Installs easily, solid in feel and usage, nice appearance, looks and works now as the day I got it, nearly three years ago. Very highly recommend!

The instructions were incredibly easy to understand for me, showing orientation and references, setup only took <30 minutes with a single tool and it came with spare screws. I haven't had any quality issues yet, its able to hold up my 20 inch ergonomic keyboard, and blended well with the colors of my setup, while remaining fairly light yet not feeling super cheap. It can be moved and is quiet with sliding and adjustment and i still have room for other objects such as my phone and notepads, and fits onto the desk well. I absolutely would recommend it personally, just be careful with assembly as it requires some specific angles to properly screw in the desk grips.

Update 8/7/2023 - It's only been a few months of use but the right side of railing failed and does not come out all the way so when I take the tray out then it is crooked. This product is actually not that cheap and it's sad to see that it does not last a long time. I have a desk that I bought approximately 10 years ago at IKEA. I moved about 7 - 8 times during this time period and this desk stuck with me although it is high for my height. I just can't afford another desk. It's so high I'm practically typing and using a mouse with my shoulders at my ear level. I'm getting to a point in life that I can't sleep at night because of neck and shoulder pain after spending time at this desk whole day so I decided to buy this tray that goes in under the desk so my arms would be in more ergonomic position. And yes it works! I can rest my arms on the arm rest on my chairs and my shoulders and arms are in relaxed position. The package the item came with was very well padded and felt like a premium product. the tray itself came in 2-piece but has 2 metal brackets that holds it together. It feels thick and heavy and sturdy (that's what she said). The clamps it comes with also is beefy and does not wobble around. Now on a few issues. Although this product is wide so it holds both keyboard and a mouse, it is not deep enough. If I place my keyboard in the middle then my wrists hang out of the front edge of the product and has nowhere to rest my wrists. I have to push the keyboard allllll the way back to put my wrist onto the tray then I can't access the top of the keyboard. Also, because this is 2-piece I can feel the flex in the middle. Because my desk is too high I rest my elbow on the tray and put my hand on my face to ponder about life and I feel the flex in the middle. I'm worried about durability of this product but we will see. Lastly, the rail on both sides of the product so you can pull your tray in and out does not work smoothly. My right one is smoother than the left so if I try to pull the tray out from the left or right side then it gets stuck. I have to pull somewhat in the middle to pull the tray out smoothly. Overall, I think it's a good product. It was easy to assemble and I mean I have assembling ability of a 3 year old. It was pretty expensive for me, about equal to my monthly allowance, so I'm wary of the issues mentioned above.

Wish I'd bought one of these years ago! My desk is now officially ergonomic. I work from home have a sit/ stand set up. When standing I put the wireless keyboard and mouse on top of the desk and now when sitting I use this tray. It is well made, simple to install and feels very sturdy. Extremely happy!

Tem o tamanho mínimo perfeito para mesas pequenas, os materiais são de alta qualidade, parece ser robusta e durável o suficiente justificando completamente o preço. Recomendado!

Bonjour, Le moins cher et pourtant excellent, la qualité de fabrication et bonne, ,robuste et pratique, je ne regrette pas cet achat.

Needed this for my 49 key MIDI keyboard and it's the perfect fit, except for the height which I bought the height extender from the same brand for. So happy!

This keyboard tray is excellent! Perfect length! You can fit a keyboard and mouse on it no problem. It's strong and sturdy! The 1 big problem, is that the clearance between the tray and the desk you mount it to is way to small/low. You will need a low profile keyboard, and a darn near flat mouse to be able to hide the whole thing away under the desk. This is the biggest issue with this, if it had a height adjustment on the mount so you could lower the tray another inch or so, then this would be perfect and the mouse could stay on the try. Ass it is, you need to take the mouse off first before you slide the tray under the desk. This is such a simple fix, and it should be done right away!

3.5 stars if I could. Quality bamboo surface is one solid piece, not laminated sections. Sliding mechanism is smooth and hardware includes extra screws which is thoughtful. However, the standard installation creates insufficient clearance between desk and tray. Had to install the rails backwards and upside down to get proper spacing, this modification voids the warranty but was necessary for practical use. The modification dramatically improved usability and comfort, making it actually functional for daily use. VIVO should redesign this with better clearance as standard. The current design seems like an oversight that forces users to either accept cramped spacing or modify the installation. Despite the design flaw, it works well once properly installed. Just be prepared to potentially modify it yourself if you need more clearance.
