What is the dimension of the pad to the left of the mousepad opening? Can it be trimmed if it hangs too far over the left edge of the laptop?

It's a little over 4 inches on each side of the mousepad opening, like 4 1/8 inch. It can be trimmed 1/4 inch before you would be cutting into the thick part that your hands rest on, but you probably could cut it if need be.

4 1/4", I purchased this pad for my wife's laptop Toshiba. She is very happy with it and we did not need to trim it tho it can be trimmed with ease.

I use my 17in laptop with a mouse on it. The tabs in front that hold the laptop in place could be a bit taller, but that has nothing to do with the width.

It's approximately 14.5x10.25", without the mouse tray extended. The mouse tray is about 6x7". My 15" laptop hangs over the edge of the tray slightly, but is very usable.

My case is 22 inches in diagonal, and my laptop is 17.5 inches in diagonal. My order said that I got the 18 inch case. I have about 3 inches beside my laptop for my mouse, and about 3 inches above my laptop for other office type things. Check the diagonal of your laptop against the dimensions of the case.

I measured the keyboard platform at a little under 19" wide. You might be able to leave off the end caps and make it fit leaving off the mouse platform. Seems risky. This thing is pretty flimsy: a couple of years after installation the platform has warped and the keyboard is not stable. I would not buy it again but it is not so bad I will replace it before it finally breaks.

I have a 17" laptop and there is NOT enough room to use a mouse as well on this lap desk. Were it to be a smaller laptop, perhaps, but I am not sure how easy it would be considering the lap desk is curved to allow for air movement. It might be awkward to use a mouse.

The larger of those two measurements that you listed indicates the accurate dimensions. This is a pretty big mouse pad.

Absolutely. You'd just need some sturdy scissors or maybe a utility knife.There is a sewed border around the edge, but if you don't mind having a rougher edge, it should be no problem.(this is a GREAT mousepad for gaming, BTW)

Yes, it should fit, barely, though it may overlap the mouse pad by 1/2 inch on the side.

Yeah that's wrong, it goes across the entire bottom side of my keyboard. It is well over a foot (whatever the length of your normal keyboard is). Good question!- MoistGamer

There isn't a quick easy way to do so. One may use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the mousepad assembly in place and then use a power drill to drill holes on the other side of the platform so that the mouspad may be mounted there. However, the mousepad swivels on a rod that is off-center to the pad, so if the pad is mounted on the left, it won't line up as neatly with the edge of the platform as it does from the right side.

Measures 3 1/4" X 1 7/8 " Note:This pad slides (adjusts) and you should have no problem with the mouse area. Wife uses it on her Toshiba and really likes it.

Hi there! I am 5' 4'' and I found the mouse pad to be entirely too high and so removed it. The arm rest part itself is fine, although now I have to compensate for the little metal post that sticks up where the mouse pad is supposed to go. I recommend getting the one without the mouse pad. After that, it's just a matter of attaching the device to your desk.

Not sure. I have a keyboard with a number pad and my mouse pad and I still have a couple of inches on either side.

I do not know the exact measurements as my desk is currently back home in the U.S. and I am currently living in South Korea. What I can say which may (or may not) be of help, is that I was able to easily fit a full sized keyboard, with a full sized (standard) mousepad and I still have a few inches to spare on each side. I hope this helps!

IF you have no USB's, etc, attached to the left side of your laptop, you can move your lap[top all the way to the left of the stand, and IF your laptop is no larger than 13 inches or so, you have four inches free for your mouse. There was another laptop stand that does provide a mouuse space--I do not remember who produces it.

This belongs to my daughter and her computer is 17 inches. My computer is 15 x 10 in and I'm sure if I used a mouse it would fit at one side with the computer close to the edge on the other.
