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

Takes some time to install but well worth it. This replaced a plastic keyboard tray we were using that split down the middle--the second plastic one to do so. No worries about that with this model. Slides easy, works great. The seller made it right with us when the first one we purchased never arrived even though it was marked as delivered. Bought the same model again bcs it was what we needed and also, in large part, bcs of the seller's fantastic service. We were not disappointed.

Pros: sturdy, comfortable Cons: mouse tray is not useful without addition of hard-back mouse pad I got this for a standing desk I also purchased on Amazon. Like most of the standing desks I found on Amazon, it had less than 12 inches depth underneath that you could use to install a keyboard tray, so It was difficult to find one to fit. After A LOT of research I decided this one would be the best affordable fit. Installation was made more difficult as the actual desk depth was not quite enough for the provided screws, but even not being able to screw in the tray all the way, it still feels very sturdy and doesn't move around when I type. The provided wrist rest has been great for helping me type ergonomically, and it's nice that as it's hard plastic so I don't have to worry about it sinking and wearing with time. I also decided to glue down a Fellowes hard backed mouse pad to the existing mouse tray on the side of it as well, as by itself it is too small and weak to use comfortably and there's no way to keep your mouse from sliding off of it. All in all I'm very happy with this keyboard tray and I'm glad I got it! It has helped my home office feel much more comfortable and ergonomic.

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.

ERGONOMICS For what this is, it is not bad. I wanted something inexpensive and temporary for my old desk to add ergonomics for my hands — I've been through carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) on both hands before — and I wanted to buy back some desktop real estate. This tray is ergonomic in the sense that your hands will be lower than the desk; thus, decreasing the stress you'll put on your carpal tunnel from resting your palm or wrist on the slightly lower palm rest. However, If you are suffering CTS or are showing early signs of CTS, I highly recommend you purchase an ergonomic keyboard tray that you can swivel and lower and raise. I went through this years ago for work, and I almost had surgery on both hands/wrists, but thankfully someone taught me therapeutical methods to recover without surgery. A true ergonomic keyboard tray is one method. However, if you're not suffering CTS and are disciplined in keeping your hands, wrists, and forearm up when typing, you'll be perfectly fine with this keyboard tray. LEVEL OF EASE TO INSTALL I was able to install this quickly by myself, but I used my leg/knee to hold some of it in place while I used my cordless screwdriver to quickly install. I really loved the template they provide--that is a rarity with manufacturers--but since I'm quite handy, I was able to quickly and easily install mine without it. STURDINESS I'm a guy, but I am gentle with all my items. Growing up impoverished, you learn to be like this to preserve what you have. That being said, this keyboard tray will outlast my need of it. As long as you do not abuse it or mistreat it, it'll last. Poor typing posture/habits (that means resting your palms/wrists on the palm rest a lot) will likely cause eventual wear on the sturdiness, especially if you have rest heavy hands/arms on it. The Apache Kid 🪶

I think the majority of the time I've spent using this thing, really, has been largely a waste. I'm not suggesting it's bad for what it is, I think it's just bad for what it's supposed to be. I'm trying to justify it, because price point is solid for what it offers, The thing is, it's kind of a temporary solution for a permanent problem. And the market niche it's filling is concerned with solving a permanent problem, not a workaround to eventually solve such problem at a later time. So I guess I'll start at the beginning, because the beginning tends to be good for a place to begin. The item does have a lot of "features". It's height adjustable, a small nut locks in a plastic slot in the plastic anchor "L" joint. I.E. the thing that you screw into to affix to the desk. This system works okay, is kind of annoying to mess with under a desk, but it is what it is. Try to guess how much room you'll need prior to putting the keyboard tray in place. Because unscrewing the locks for the height adjustment is a royal pain in the arse once installed. Mostly because evolution of that third hand is still on back order. You can put the mouse slider where you want, which to me kind of makes no sense unless this is a laptop wireless mouse station, which I accept could be common. I mean if you really think about it for corded mouse desktop solutions, the slider comes out... once, for most applications, unless you intend on moving the mouse into the tray every time you're done, which I could see being a thing I guess, but... I dunno, the feature is kind of solving a nonexistent problem. Your mouse, is going to be on the pull out bit, and for like 98% of people, it's just gonna stay there. With this comes the pad wear and tear. Man I never thought this would be a thing. I work 10 hours shifts, at home, with a mouse on the plastic. Now, you'd normally be sitting there going... Okay, yes, that's what it's for. But, I hadn't considered the wear of the plastic. Every month or so I'd have this odd build up of stuff where the mouse was. Now, maybe I was a slob? At first, I thought, maybe. So I wiped it up with antibacs I had laying about. Black. I'm like... wait, black? If I'm a slob I'm an incredible slob for black. Sure enough, the mousepad is now smooth. No bumps anymore. Holy crap. I've buffed it smooth. But every month, I'd worn it more. And it was just odd because eventually, I got this somewhat odd texture of the fine removed plastic which would build up, and have to be cleaned off. Now if it sounds gross, it wasn't, it was just noticeable. Mouse would glide great, and then you'd get this powdery grit, like fine sawdust. Except it was black. It just was annoying. And it'd mess with your mouse just enough. Wipe it down, good for a few more weeks. Livable. No harm done, but I think the plastics here are incredibly soft, and that's a good enough segue to my next criticism. The plastic L brackets are well... plastic. They're not particularly sturdy. One of Mine broke on one side of the bracket after less than year in place, I managed to repair it with a significant amount of hot glue for an extra few months, around 3 or 4, and then one fateful day, the whole L bracket sheared straight in two. So I've had this thing since the end of may '19, and it's august '20 now. Now, I think you're going, wow, 25 bucks for a year and a few months? Sounds great!, But in reality, how many times have you replaced your keyboard tray on a desk you owned. Well... you don't, at least not usually. Maybe the tracks because they wear out after a lot of years of use, and they're bearings, that makes sense. But the actual structural hardware? I mean... maybe pulling the keyboard tray out of a stripped desk hole because it's particle board. Yeah. But, functional keyboard hardware pretty much doesn't ever come into play, unless you bend things. Wait... Bend. Nobody makes L brackets for their crap out of plastic. And I realized, the functional issue with this thing, is it's a temporary, time bomb fixture, masquerading as a permanent one. Because plastic, isn't great for load bearing. You don't realize it, but you rest your arm's weight on the tray, you'll support your head with your elbow on it, you'll park both of your hands on the dag gone thing for minutes, deep in thought. Heck some people might put supplies in it. I think at that point, it's pretty easy to realize what the problem is. the hardware for the business end, to hook it to the desk, is just always a wisp away from being twisted, torqued, stressed or bent in such a simplistic way that it generates a crack in the plastic on the L bracket, and then it's just a matter of time before sustained forces sever that connection to the desk. This won't happen on most things, because they use metal. Bent, isn't broken. Fatigued isn't broken. It really is a significant flaw. Replace those brackets with metal ones? This thing would last as long as any desk you had, probably. The molded plastic is solid and rigid, the tracks for the tray are good, and really the build quality on most parts are good. But, the connection points just let it down. Quite literally.

Finally one that fits. Include a template for installing. Ever tried laying on your back to install one of those key board tray? Try it and you will make a template like I did!!!

Pleased with the purchase of the under desk keyboard drawer from Fellowes. The only down fall is not enough self tapping screw wholes on the align drawer slide for the mounting brackets.

Took me over an hour to install but worth it.

Product i recieved was made from cheap plastic mould, no finishing, different look and fragile. Its hardly worth 800 bucks (against charging 3k) , and actually useless. Good that i could return it. Avoid it.

Sturdy, only the mouse pad is slightly lower than the keyboard, other than that, it's perfect. If there's a need for another keyboard tray, will definitely buy it again.

Creo es la solución mas barata para colocar el teclado en el escritorio, digo... busqué y fue lo mas barato que encotnré, pero no por ser barato es malo, me pareció de buana calidad y fácil de instalar, veamos con el tiempo como va, pero me gustó, ahora mi escritorio se ve mas ordenado, lo volvería a comprar.....

Was looking through online stores for this item and found the best price here!
