VIVO Large Keyboard Tray Under Desk Pull Out with Extra Sturdy C Clamp Mount System, 27 (33 Including Clamps) x 11 Inch Slide-Out Platform Computer Drawer for Typing, Black, MOUNT-KB05E

Summary: This is a great keyboard. It arrived on time and was well packaged. It's easy to assemble and clamp onto your desktop. The instructions are clear, the parts are solid -- real metal hardware and no cheap plastic parts. It's steady when you type; no wobbling even if you type fast. The tray is wide enough and deep enough to store my giant ergonomic keyboard and my mouse with a bit of room to spare. And it glides smoothly to store underneath your desktop. Or at least it does now ... which brings me to the reason I was prompted to write a review. VIVO's customer service is outstanding! Quite possibly the best company I've dealt with online or off. My excellent experience with VIVO: After carefully assembling the keyboard tray and attaching it to my desktop, the clamp on the right side seemed slightly off. No matter what I tried -- re-assembling that side, adjusting the tension -- the position of the clamp put the keyboard tray in a little bit of a bind on one side. The tray still worked technically, but was annoying. One side would slide in easily and the other lagged behind and had to be pushed a bit. I contacted the company through Amazon and got an immediate response. Based on the images I sent (which focused on the misaligned part of the clamp, but didn't show the entire clamp) they thought the issue was the slider rail. They offered me the option of returning the entire keyboard or receiving a replacement slider rail. I didn't want to be without the keyboard tray, since it was making a big difference in my hands/wrists/arms, so I asked for a replacement slider, which they promptly sent (and which also arrived quickly and was very well packaged). In the process of putting the new replacement rail on, I realized the issue was definitely not the rail, but was most definitely the clamp. One of the two pre-drilled holes in the clamp was about 1/8 inch off, meaning the keyboard was still sticking on the right side even with the new sliding mechanism. I reached out to the company again about the misaligned holes (this time with an image that showed the entire clamp). They promptly supplied a replacement clamp, which fixed the issue completely. The entire process was fast. The emails were prompt, courteous, and clear. And VIVO was willing to keep at it until the issue was fixed. Highly recommend this product and company based on this interaction.

Very solid, good craftsmanship, and decent quality control. Super easy to assemble, very white — even more so than my desk. My only issue is that pulling or pushing the tray at one of the ends shears it a little and wobbles it side to side basically. Update: I was having issues where the keyboard would tilt on three different angles depending how far it was pulled out (-2, 0, +2 degrees). If you have this issue, tighten the screws all the way! Well, I did, but then it the keyboard wouldn’t fully go all the way in or come all the way out. I contacted support, they send me new rails, then I changed them out and tightened everything as much as I could and it’s great! Only issue is you have to push it in from the middle or with two hands since it can awkwardly shear a little and it’s kind of tough to move, but great overall!

Easy to install, easy to use. It is quite nice, I just wish those model had a tad more flexibility to it. It is very rigid by design but I wish I could move it a little more. For the price you can’t beat it. Keyboard and mouse sit perfectly on it and works great standing or sitting. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a budget option!

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.

Clear directions made it easy to assemble. Tray is sturdy, slides back and forth with ease, accommodates my keyboard and mouse plus it looks good! Great purchase for the price.

I recently bought the VIVO Small Clamp-on Computer Keyboard and Mouse Under Desk Slider Tray for my new desk, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Here's why it's a fantastic addition to any workspace: PERFECT SIZE FOR ANY DESK: The tray is small enough to fit under compact desks, yet spacious enough to comfortably hold a keyboard and mouse. It perfectly complements my new desk, offering additional space without overwhelming the setup. It's ideal for anyone who wants to maximize their work area without clutter. QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION: Installing the tray was a breeze! The clamp-on design means you don’t have to drill holes or deal with complicated assembly. Within minutes, it was securely attached, and I was ready to go. If you ever need to move or remove it, the process is just as quick and easy. STURDY AND DURABLE DESIGN: Despite its lightweight build, this slider tray is incredibly sturdy. It feels solid when typing and doesn’t wobble or sag, providing a stable surface for everyday use. The rustic vintage brown finish adds a touch of elegance, blending seamlessly with my workspace decor. IMPROVES ERGONOMICS: Having the keyboard and mouse on a lower tray has improved my posture and comfort while working. It’s an ergonomic solution that reduces strain on my wrists and shoulders, making long hours at the computer much more comfortable. EASY TO REMOVE: Another benefit of this tray is its portability. If I need to adjust my setup or take the tray off for any reason, I can do so without hassle. This flexibility is a big plus for anyone who likes to switch up their workspace.

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.

I needed a clamp on drawer, but unfortunately my IKEA desk has a metal support bar lengthwise underneath that means only 6" for the drawer to slide back. I couldn't find any long skinny drawers (I need something that can hold rulers) or ones with a lot of clearance but saw this. It's fantastic! I think it would suck as a keyboard tray for my setup because it would jam against my knees or thighs (I sit high enough to use a keyboard on the actual desk). However, putting it off to the right as a rimless drawer keeps it nicely tucked away. And it is *solid*. Heavy metal and wood parts, very well machined. It slides fairly well though one glide is a little stickier than the other. It has enough clearance even with the back plate to slide back under the support bar. It holds very firmly to the 3/4" desk edge. While it's not a complete match to my pale maple veneer desk, it's tonally close enough. Now I have room for my cat's fleece pad in front of my right monitor and can still get at my organizer box of office supplies. Plus my new left monitor has a remote that sits on the sliding shelf where I won't lose it. I even put it together myself despite not being very strong or tool savvy. The instructions were nice and clear with a good mix of illustration and text, and a phillips head screwdriver is easy enough to use. I did position it over my computer so now it's slightly awkward to press the power on switch, but even though I have a huge tower there's still plenty of room especially as I generally only need to press that button once a day. Things that would make it even better: Black clamps and hardware to blend in more with my chair, keyboard, mouse pad and monitor base. Being one big shelf (it comes in two halves that bolt together with a backplate, which maybe gives it more center support, who knows, but that means the two halves don't match in grain or exact hue). Having some sort of grip underneath center front to help pull the shelf out -- needn't be big enough to jam into legs for someone using it for a keyboard, could even be a smoothly polished groove -- my hands are steadily seizing up and losing grip so even a smooth little ridge or bump on the bolted on back plate's edge near the tray front would go a long way. Having a tiny bevel at the bottom front; it currently has a sharpish edge that presses into my fingers when pulling the shelf out from under the desk. All of these are minor quibbles, none of them worth docking a star.
