Uncaged Ergonomics Adjustable Keyboard Tray, Silver, Keyboard Tray, Ergonomic, Wrist Support, Portable, Universal, Aluminum

Great for my purpose, may not be for everyone. I have a sim rig and only needed something to set next to me for my keyboard and mouse. It took a moment to get the adjustment right as it has numerous possibilities for a well placed configuration. On a lower setting/adjustment it seems quite stable but when I set it up for a higher position it felt a bit wobbly. However, at the current medium adjustment it is both stable and suits my situation well. The mouse portion is just clipped on loosely and is rather small. So, if you are using it a lot or moving quickly you may run off the edge or drop the mouse off altogether. Again, this review is for how the stand works for my setup and it is great but this may not be a great fit for all. It has three adjustable legs on each side that are push button activated and locked out when set to desired position. No tools needed and the adjustment positions are indicated with numbered incremental positions so you can easily tell you have both sides set equally. One other feature I found by accident, you can set this stand up on uneven surfaces (in either direction) and still have a flat workstation for your keyboard or laptop. Hopefully this helps you with your decision to purchase or not to purchase. This review has been left without compensation, I actually like it for MY purpose and use.

This product perhaps is not a great fit for everyone. It’s not something strong for you to lean on it with half your body weight but solid enough. It’s also kind of awkward trying to adjust the height if not familiar enough. But if you need a smaller, light and solid enough holder to fill in your existing configuration this is probably the choice. Anyway after some practices and trials, I found it perfectly fit my needs. It would be perfect if easier to adjust the height.

Oh, you can adjust it to your preferred height, all right - after pressing the button on each individual joint and clicking through the preset stopping points. What is that, like 8 separate joints to adjust one at a time?You can't press the buttons on both sides at the same time, it's too difficult. You need one hand to press the button and one hand to move the joint So each individual joint, one at a time, while your keyboard starts to slide off. It's not practical at all to go from standing to sitting to standing again, unless you set it where you want it for standing, then remove your keyboard and mouse and set it aside for sitting. It's just slightly ridiculous for the price, and totally not worth it IMO. My office actually bought me a rising monitor and keyboard stand that allows me to adjust it to any height I want with the press of a lever, and it blows this one out of the water. If you want to go from standing to sitting to standing throughout your day, don't waste you money on this one - spend the extra money for a REAL adjustable stand instead. You will be glad you did!

This was perfect I have a desk with a drawer in it I can slip the legs into the decks desk an extend it out to my nice comfy chair and sit and look up my four monitors The mousepad is a little flimsy but it works if I keep my arm on the side of the chair but I would buy this again hopefully it doesn't come to that it seems like it's well built The joints are all tight there's so many ways you can angle this it's pretty incredible I wished I'd have tried this first instead of the ones that connect to the bottom of my chair which my chair was too big for the one that connects to the pole to my monitor which was too short this is perfect thank you

I'm pretty happy with this. It does what it was designed to do. Adjustment is kind of a nuisance as others have mentioned. If you want something that you can adjust easily and repeatedly throughout the day, this probably isn't it. Each of three sections of leg (six total) need to be adjusted individually. Hard to do? No, but a bit wonky. The mouse platform works fine, it's a little bit too flexible for my liking. Had I designed it, I would have kept all the sheet metal they removed to make the attachment tab for the tightening knob and added a rib to it- it's functional though and isn't going to break. What I DON'T like about the mouse platform is that it doesn't have a lip on either end to keep the mouse from sliding off when it is tilted. I assume this is because the platform is ambidextrous, but at least provide a bit of slip on edging or something of the sort (that's how I solved it) to be used as a stop. My only other minor complaint, the legs are slippery and it slid around my desktop. I added four stick on bumpers (these could also be included) and they helped greatly. Overall, it works and I'm not sorry I purchased it!

UPDATE: I decided to keep this thing. But I'm still annoyed with the product and the company. They claim to be about ergonomics (it's in their company name), but I don't think these W Virginia boys got anything on their minds other than grabbing for some cash. C'mon boys - WVA deserves better (and so do your customers). Here are the problems that still exist with this so-called "ergonomic" product: 1) if you plan to use the separate mousepad, it's impossible to get it into the stand (you can see the trouble I had below), unless you know the secret: you have to make sure to place the mousepad connector into the frame properly BEFORE you set the stand up. If you set the stand up first, the leg underneath will probably butt up against the platform (for greater stability), but this is what blocks you from then inserting the mousepad connector. Instead, make sure there is room between the leg and the platform before you insert the mousepad connector. After connector is installed, then set up the stand. This wasn't mentioned in the instructions. In fact, the instructions imply that you should set the stand up first before inserting the mousepad. (But this would only work if you also made sure there was room between the leg and platform or set up the mousepad first.) 2) The instructions (or their product description above) don't give the dimensions for the unit as it sits on the desktop, i.e., how much desktop space does it actually need to stand up? I really needed this info and sure enough it's too big but it has enough space on the desktop to be stable. I would not own if this product if there was another on the market that was competitive. I encourage you to look elsewhere and then if this is the only product that might work best for you, score it then to reduce your own likelihood of annoyance. _________ ORIGINAL: This product is not a bad idea. It's just poorly executed. It's very light and not so stable but if you're only touching it to type it's OK. The absolute showstopper though is that the mouse pad does not affix properly to the stand no matter what you do. What I received is so poorly engineered that I think there is a chance that the metal attachment sent for the mouse pad is the wrong part. The poor design of the unit with respect to the mouse pad renders the product unusable. Also, the product is trying to do too much. It has enough room on top for a laptop. That's not what I wanted. I just want it wide enough to hold a keyboard and it barely fits on my limited desktop area - part of it hangs off the edge because it has way more depth than needed for a keyboard tray. I must say that it is annoying to buy an ergonomic product only to find out that it is not ergonomic at all and can't even be used. Uncaged Ergonomics? I don't think so. The ergonomics here are quite well caged in my opinion. I suggest you move on to consider other products as I will...

I use this for a keyboard stand in front of the coffee table with the laptop sitting on the table. The keyboard wore out on the laptop and is not replaceable. This also doubles as a TV tray as we eat dinner in front of the TV. The mouse tray is perfect as well. The leg ratchets are high quality and are simple to adjust. There are two pages of pictures of all the different shapes it can take. I highly recommend this unit. It's not extremely heavy duty however.

***UPDATE*** Overall, I’m still satisfied with the product, however, when angling the device forward or backwards, there isn’t anything in place to keep the mouse from sliding off the mouse tray. ———————————————————— Delivery and Packaging: The product arrived one day earlier than expected, which was awesome. The product came in the original box and un-taped, which I didn’t like because outsiders knew what was inside (not safe when my product is being left outside) and the edges were not secured with tape, the product could have slipped out the box. Overall appearance: The product has a sleek, compact and professional look. Sturdiness: The product is light. I’m using it for my keyboard and it is sturdy enough to hold my keyboard and mouse and the extra weight of my typing / wrist/ arm weight is supported well. Stability: As I mentioned before the product is light, I thought this would pose a problem (light = cheap= flimsy) however, I was pleasantly surprised. I have the product placed on my desk, which has a slick finish to it and I experienced no sliding with this product, however, I still may purchase a desktop mat to protect the finish on my desk. The mouse tray is stable enough to me, no shaking when using. For those who have issues with the mouse tray, make sure the screw is tight. Ease of Use: Adjusting the legs can be challenging when trying to obtain the right height but it is very easy to adjust and the dials are helpful to let you know which notch you are in. Overall I like the product, no complaints other than the packaging itself. Good price and performs exactly as advertised. I would recommend this product to others.
