Can I have the main platorm pushed back under the desk but have the mouse platform sticking out? "Highly adjustable mouse platform...forward and back"

Sorry I cannot help you with that one....we had limited space width, therefore do not have the mouse attached. Aside from your question, I would add that the quality is very good with this product, and we are pleased with the purchase.

Not really. The mouse platform move forward and backward about 3 inches. Flush with front of keyboard is about halfway. That would mean it would only be about an inch and a half out if keyboard drawer is pushed in.

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.

I don't know, i don't move mine since I have 2 monitors, the keyboard, mouse and some other small accessories on it. I think if you move it up and down it would be best to remove the items from the desk as you can only move one leg at a time unless you have someone help you.

Yes, you can rearrange it so it fits your area. You will just need to unscrew the tops and then flip them around so they work in area, you are trying to set the desk up in. I have done this twice now, and it was a breeze making the changes.

Hi! The shelf that i have the mouse platform on is also 1/2" thick. If it were thinner, the platform would still clamp snugly. It would also work well on a thicker shelf, perhaps an extra 1" thickness. There's an added feature: just keep checking the clamp to be sure it's tight, but the mouse platform will move/swivel if you want it to. i have it attached to an adjustable height rolling computer laptop cart/stand. It's never fallen off, but i still check it to ensure that the weight of my hand on the mouse doesn't cause it to loosen. The platform is rather 'free-standing' on the laptop cart's shelf. Hope this helps you in making your choice. Hi! The shelf that i have the mouse platform on is also 1/2" thick. If it were thinner, the platform would still clamp snugly.

I haven't tried it but have used other Logitech mice and just go under control panel/devices and printers/mouse to change it. That should work fine.

No, but I don't think I would have wanted it if it did. It would have to lock in every slot on the way out to accommodate the user's preference for how far out they want the tray to be when they're using it. I haven't had any issues with it moving when I'm typing or using the mouse.

Yes but there won't be room on the side to operate and external mouse. If you use the touchpad or don't mind using your mouse to the side on a separate surface then you will really like this.

You could tilt the whole desk forward by placing a board or other lift support under the back two feet, but the keyboard tray and monitor tray will be tilted forward, and they would no longer be parallel with the surface upon which the Varidesk is placed.

It doesn't stay attached to the desk. When it WAS attached, the mouse platform was slanted so the mouse kept falling off of it. And when I put the weight of my hand on the platform, it lasted a whole of 5 minutes and then just totally loosened and fell off the desk. It was a piece of junk.

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

I had read what Nick wrote and also install the platform frame further back from the front edge of the desk, however you need to keep in mind how far it pulls out. If you install it too far back, it will hit the desktop if you raise it to the level of the desktop. You may need to hold it in place to determine the best balance between back (giving you completely hidden) and forward (to clear the desktop when raising it). I did not have a problem with finding a good install.

Both the desk and mouse portion have a wood piece that serves as a lip, at least on mine. It is a fairly substantial lip because you can tilt the mouse portion to about 70 degrees.

Hi Ruthie, yes, you will be able to make the monitor touch your desk if you'd like, if it clears the front, you can get the bottom a little lower. It also tilts back quite a bit, so you can pull it down and then tilt it back, this arm is very nice, I have 3 of them!

Kristen,It can be moved up and down but you have to use a little bit of force. If you are trying to angle it to kerp the mouse from sliding off if you turn it downward a bit that may do what you are looking for, but truthfully you will need to mess with it to get it to keep the mouse in place and that doesn't always work. Hope I answered your question.

If you buy the proper kit, are handy and the kit is designed to be added onto another desk then yes, you can screw in a keyboard slide out under the desk. One caveat though is that the height of the table isn't designed to include the slide out, so if you are on the taller side it may hit your legs or make it crowded.Edit: Bad memory, correct response is in my comment below.

Yes! I feel your pain, I kept looking and looking for the place and on the schematic it seems like it was on the part that made it turn from left to right. It is not there, it is actually in between the metal part somewhat hidden and recessed at the highest point of the articulating arm where it connects to the monitor and tray. Think of it this way, if the top/head of the arm was a donut... the adjusting weight screw is in the middle or hole of the "donut". Turning to the right adds tension. Make sure to adjust when you have your final monitors and keyboard as thats the weight you'll be working with me. Message me if you still need help.
