Can I move the keyboard tray separately from the monitor tray

Nope. Lower keyboard platform is a fixed distance from the upper monitor platform.

No -- the monitor and keyboard trays are attached ... they move together as they are raised and lowered.

Absolutely, you can leave the keyboard tray off and not affect the stability or strength of the desk.

Just by looking at it I would think so - all of the edges are straight so you should be able to get the keyboard tray on the other side (assuming that's what you're asking?).

also, I used the existing keyboard tray instead of the plastic one supplied - ya it's a little wobbley, but acceptable. Didn't have to buy a new desk, so it was very cost effective for us

I did not even instal the keyboard tray (because I use a laptop), but I took a look now that you asked and I would say you can. You will just have to switch the initial metal bars from one side to the other.I hope this helps.

The tray just rests on the two armrest mouse trays. You lift the keyboard and tray off of the armrests and set it aside to get out of the chair. The trays also fold back over the armrests to ease sideways exiting.

An approximately ~20" wide desk should be enough to accommodate the monitor stand & keyboard tray. Note that in this setup, the Keyboard tray is more narrow than the monitor stand. Hence, the keyboard tray can tuck under the monitor stand making things even more compact.

Yes, the keyboard tray screws from underneath. If you can see in the picture, there are two little metal tabs on each side. What ever piece you're using for the keyboard tray will sit on these tabs, and then be screwed through the hole in the tabs to secure the tray to the slides. There are holes on the side, so you could feasibly screw it on the side, but you'd have to have flat screws and really sink them or they would be in the way of the slide. I think it will be much more stable to screw it through the tabs on the bottom.

You can leave the raised monitor part off the top of the desk, but it will leave 4 holes on the desk surface. I'm not 100% sure but they're around 1/4" holes. The lower keyboard tray can also be left off without any problems. Neither of the those pieces add or take away from the strength of the desk.

Yeah you assemble the whole desk piece by piece so, if you choose to not attach the keyboard tray the desk is still completely functional. It is a nice desk in my college apartment. I Love it!

Depending in the size of your keyboard you may be able to open drawer and "bridge" it with your keyboard or get a thin piece of wood cut to fit on top of the open drawer to use your keyboard and mouse. There is definitely room on the top surface for a separate mouse

I no longer have access to the keyboard tray, but when I installed it there was very limited space . I was able to turn the cleats that attach it to the desk top so they faced inward instead of outward which saved about 1- 1/12" in width. It takes a little creativity and forethought but it can be done.

of course! type in "pull out keyboard tray" and you'll see many options. good luck!

Yes. I see pre-holes to install the keyboard tray in the left side too, as well as in the right side and center.

Yes you can. Remember though that once the keyboard is attached the on-screen keyboard does not automatically appear. This is a great case and I highly recommend it as it allows full functionality.

I received an email with a follow up question, asking if the desk would look weird without the tray, as if something were missing, but I don't see it on the page anywhere. The answer is no, the desk will not look weird without the keyboard tray. There are two metal rails (used by the slide out tray) that hang down from the underside of the desk but you can skip the installation of those if you are not going to use the keyboard tray.

The tray is sturdy and can hold your monitor with no problem. The keyboard part slides in and out. You will love it.
