Can I avoid not putting on the keyboard tray? I prefer to have my keyboard and mouse on the desk. Thanks in advance!

Yes - there are 4 screws holding it in place - and it does not impact the stability of the desk

Yes, it slides completely up under the desk even when the mouse pad support is in its position over the keyboard. This is the best keyboard tray I have every owned!

I suppose you could assemble it without the tray but it is so handy I would not remove it now for any reason. The tray is attached to slider rails on the bottom by two screws on each side and can be removed easily. The desk seems to be steady enough when the tray is pulled out all the way, so I doubt that the tray is making a lot if difference. The desk is beautiful and very handy to use, I love mine just the way it is.

I would assume so. Just double check how wide your keyboard is. For me the best feature was how easy it was to mount the tray below the desk. It also slides smoothly, good use of ball bearings. Hope this helped.

You do NOT have to use the keyboard holder if you do not want to. It will NOT impact the desk in any way shape or form if you leave it off. I love my little desk and am using it as we speak.

A keyboard will slide under it, but not in the usable way unless you have a small keyboard (mine is 16" long). If you want it just for storage, the height under the drawer to the desk is sufficient to allow the keyboard to fit under the tray, but you need to slide it the long way.

That's exactly what we did for our son. He has his monitor along with a wireless keybord. Both fit fine. And, when he wants to write on the desk top, he just drops the keyboard into the drawer. Works great.

I do not use the separate mouse tray and find there is plenty of room for the mouse adjacent to the keyboard on the main tray. Very pleased with this 3M Keyboard drawer. Paul Ellwood

The 5 employees that each have one of these desks at our office all use the keyboard tray on the shelf with the monitors. Some have wireless keyboards and some don't. The tray at the bottom is where the keyboard would be used if you were sitting down.

The depth of your desktop really determines the length of the track you should choose. If the track length is too long it'll stick out past the front edge of the desk you won't be able to push the keyboard tray back under the desk to hide it. Hope this makes sense.

I'm not in front of it right now but here's what I have in my desktop, I have two 22" monitors with no room for a keyboard so good thing for the slide out tray. The tray doesn't lock in place and I wish it would. I have a 3d printer sitting on the other side with my modem. Just enough space left over for scratch paper and a drink. I wish I had more space but this takes up entire corner of the room I have for it so it's the most I can fit into my area. In summary, a good desk if you have limited space, but if you have a lot of space I would go bigger.

There is a plate connector that fits under the desk and is screwed up into the desk. If your desk has a lip that extends down from the top, you will have to add a filler strip like a piece of plywood under the desk. It is pretty easy to attach. It is very solid and weighs more than other keyboard trays, but that is a big plus.

I can (and do) sometimes sit. You can move your mouse and keyboard to the desk top under the keyboard, which is easier if they're wireless.

With the longer track, the keyboard tray can retract fully under the desk surface. When using the shorter track, part of the tray sticks out of the desk edge when retracted. I guess this depends on your mounting option though. If the desk is not deep enough to take the longer track, you will have to use the shorter one.

I use mine with a laptop; the laptop sits on top of the desk, and I bought an inexpensive keyboard that connects via a USB port. The keyboard tray doesn't fit the laptop, but this works well and only cost me around $15 for the keyboard. Easy to disconnect and take the laptop somewhere else when needed.
