Fellowes Office Suites Underdesk Keyboard Drawer, Black/Silver (9140305)

i’ve had my desk for a number of years now and it holds two systems so there is always two keyboards on top. three if you count the midi keyboard but i digress. i recently got the bug to consolidate space so i started looking for a keyboard drawer. apparently they have easy ones that you can clamp to the edge of the desk but i wanted the old style keyboard drawer. this looked to be stylistic and durable and it includes a sliding mouse tray. installation was easy peasy lemon squeezy. and i didn’t have to flip my desk over. it was pretty simple to do. sliding action is smooth and it works well. love it.

Great budget pieceThe main target for this product are1. Students, who have textbooks, pages, and notebooks on the desk, and2. People whose monitors / screens are pretty close to the edge of the desk and they could use a little room to lean back, get some distance from the screen, and type on the keyboard and fit something else in front of the monitor, like a snack, beverage, or what-not.This is made of plastic. The guides and connectors are metal, but the tray is not. If you are willing to spend more, you can get the whole thing out of metal, and I wouldn't be as afraid of scratching or damaging it.It needs to come down lower. You're going to want to find some wood spacers half inch to an inch if you want to use it without pulling it out all the way.It's a little gummy at the end of the track when you pull it out all the way. This means that it is quiet, but it also means that it's not very satisfying when you've pulled it out completely, and gets a little stuck there if you tug on it.If you already have a spacious desk space, I think you'll end up using this like a little drawer, which is fine. It's just more natural and convenient to have the keyboard on top of the desk most of the time. This just gives you a choice.The installation wasn't too difficult for me because I put it on a standing desk, but if it is a cramped space underneath it, maybe it wouldn't be as easy.

I'd been looking for a desk mounted keyboard tray for some time that would work for my setup at home. I have two tables I could potentially set up on, but neither has a good height for using a keyboard and mouse. Products range in style and price quite a bit, and I didn't find many I liked right away. This one jumped at me because it was mounted with screws under the desk and had an extendable tray for the mouse, and was just the right size. I use a full-size keyboard and a trackball mouse so the pad doesn't need to be huge for my needs.The product looks great, feels sturdy, and was an easy install. They provide a great instructional video on install also on Amazon, worth watching. One issue I've seen is that it really doesn't come down quite far enough, even though it has 3 different height levels. I am at the lowest setting, and I would like it to come down 1/2 inch more or so as an option. Another issue is that the pull-out mouse pad definitely feels like it wiggles and wobbles a bit, despite the track feeling quite sturdy. I can't figure out how to fix this issue, but it is bearable for the price.Final comment: if this is the style you want and the dimensions you need, I absolutely recommend this for the price.

Works well I do wish there was a lip to keep the mouse from getting bumped off. It is sturdy and very easy to install.

I was looking for a keyboard drawer for my new sit/stand desk and did a lot of research. There are a lot of options out there with prices that range from $20 to $100. I was drawn to this keyboard drawer because of its small footprint. My new mobile desk is pretty narrow. I liked the pull out mouse pad that came with this drawer, since it allows me to set my keyboard and mouse at the same level. The fact the drawer is a Fellowes brand product was a bonus for me. I've used lots of their office supplies and computer accessories at work and I knew they had quality products. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the tray. It is really sturdy! Based on the low price, I expected it to feel cheap. It really doesn't. The slides are on ball bearings and move easily. The little mouse tray can be easily moved to either side depending on whether you are a leftie or a righty. There was plenty of room for my keyboard, with an adjustable stop at the back of the drawer to hold it snuggly. Even though the installation instructions were clear and easy, I made a stupid decision to adjust the position of the drawer by removing two of the tiny mounting screws that hold the slides to the desk mounts. The weight of the drawer tweaked the left slide and broke it. AAAGGHH! I was so excited to use my new drawer. I couldn't believe I wrecked it so quickly. I sent an email to Fellowes to see if I could buy a new slide. Unfortunately they don't stock supplies for such a small item. Their customer service representative was so excellent though! She found me a slide and mailed it to me within days - even though it was my fault. They really stand behind their brand! I knew I couldn't go wrong with Fellowes. I strongly recommend this drawer (and all of their products) for home or business use.
