Ergonomic keyboard trays overcome the innate inadequacy of desks, allowing you to type in a way that’s more neutral for your upper body. This results in decreased likelihood of developing RSIs (repetitive strain injuries) and carpal tunnel syndrome.
iMovR's Trackless Keyboard Tray is an all-around solid option for an ergonomic keyboard tray, featuring 15 degrees of negative tilt and an optional independently adjustable mouse platform. While it may not be the best option for treadmill desking, non-treadmill desk users will fi…
While the industry standard for negative tilt is 15º, the Stowaway goes the extra mile (well, 5º) and can be adjusted to negative 20º of tilt. This seemingly minor fix can do wonders for your wrists, as a few extra degrees allow a typist to keep his or her hands in a comfortable…
Finally, there's a solution. iMovR's new Elevon™ tray allows you to add a SteadyType tray to any standing desk or treadmill desk, and it adds two "side wings" that can also tilt to the same extremes, but their pivot axis is at a 45-degree angle off the pivot axis of the SteadyTyp…
Purpose-built for adjustable-height desks, the Float Keyboard Tray by HumanScale is designed to retract completely under desks with as little as 12" of freeboard between the user edge and the under-table crossbars (such as HumanScale's popular Float Table). But users may miss a f…
There’s up-scale, and then there’s Humanscale. If you’re committed to building the absolute best workstation then this might just be your leading candidate for a keyboard tray. Incredibly adjustable, well-built, and backed up by a 15-year warranty from a company with a proven t…
If you can’t afford a tray with tilt, then this Fellowes Keyboard Tray is a fine accessory for your workstation that helps to prevent strain on your elbows. However, it ranges from difficult to impossible to install on standing desks due to a 16” track, and its old-fashioned, bar…
The Fellowes Professional Series Sit / Stand Keyboard Tray is functional a functional ergonomic keyboard tray, but it offers little more than that. Stability issues keep it from being top in class. Perhaps its branding is its biggest fault, as it cannot provide true sit-stand uti…
The Neo-Flex is a frustrating mix of the superb and the miserable. We loved the easy-attach mount, but hated the weak hold of the tension system. Most treadmill deskers should look elsewhere – this tray won’t stay in place under pressure from a moving user. Standing and seated…
As of now, we cannot recommend the 3M family of keyboard trays for people using a standard adjustable-height desk, with rare exception. None of the models offered by the company come with a rail shorter than 17", far too long for almost all adjustable-height desktops. Those wit…
The ISE Leader keyboard tray has all the perks we’ve seen with other systems, plus a couple extras. A category-topping 20º of negative tilt and a superb range of vertical height-adjustment help ensure healthy hand positioning.
Value comes at at cost. The KT1 from Uncaged Ergonomics delivers the most important traits of an ergonomic keyboard tray (-15° of adjustable tilt and above average stability), but fails in several other regards. Notable problems are a lackluster mouse platform, an under-tray conn…
If you came here directly after trying to configure a Humanscale Keyboard Tray, then we owe you a quick apology. We’re sorry for dumping all those numbers and letters on you, they scared us at first too. So, we’re here to tell what they all mean. Bear with us, and we’ll try to…
