Hi, on my computer desk when i type on my keyboard the monitor shakes a bit do you think putting this under the monitor would help?

No. Isolate it pads are very soft and designed for objects with a FLAT surface such as the bottom panels of subwoofers/speakers. The stabilizing feet on the bottom of a monitor are smaller than the isolate it pad, and would bore a hole through the pad. I think it would make the monitor more unstable.

No. The problem, I think, is your desk is unstable. These pads are used to cushion sound equipment and not helpful for "shaking" as you described. A monitor stand might make the shaking even more pronounced.

I haven't run into this personally. But I'd imagine there's a two instances that would cause this. One - it's just picking up the noise of the keyboard like any other sound it picks up. Two - if you use a desktop stand and it's on the same surface and heavy typing sends vibration noise. With the latter, if it's a concern and you can't move the mic, you should be able to find a reasonable shockmount for it. With the former - get a quieter keyboard :)

I use this because it is mounted under a desk which has a center drawer, on a piece of wood that is below the drawer. The extra lift height of this unit allows me to get the keyboard high enough (for sitting) in spite of the fact that it starts out very low. It worked out perfectly for the purpose. But I don't use a monitor arm. The monitors sit on the desk. One on a PC and one on a pedestal I constructed to match the height.

I think a monitor extension arm would make it unbalanced. But I have a laptop and an 18" flat screen monitor and a keyboard on mine and it works nicely.

I find the entire desk to be very wobbly. You need to be extremely careful when moving the desk around. The keyboard tray is of no use to me as far as typing on my keyboard. I have to use the glass top as the keyboard tray does not stay open. I would not recommend this desk.

When it is in the lowest position, I put the keyboard on the small pull out section below the monitor that sits right on the desk top and may be has a thickness of 1/2 inch. Look at the fourth picture on Amazon that shows this. Hope that is helpful.

That wont be necessary, once you have accomplished the appropriate angles to create a sturdy stance nothing is going to fall.I stand all day but on occasion I sit. I simple bring my keyboard down to my desk and move my monitor to the keyboard tray which is perfect eye level for me I am 5'7.

As I covered in my write up, I found the slide-out shelf to be a bit uncomfortable. I use a swivel shelf that attaches to the keyboard to be the answer. I go into more detail in my write up. Best of luck.

No... It fix mounts under the desk. I had flipped it over to extend out the front, but it's so low to the legs, that sitting that far out from the desk made it an obstacle so I put it back on per instructions. I used an iMac on it so the keyboard worked out for me on the desk surface, but have since purchased the desk I originally wanted, so I use this primarily as a laptop desk in another room. Honestly, it's a cheap "get something now" desk that served its purpose. But I was happy to get my setup on my new desk. Hope that helps.

The bottom shelf sets back a few inches from the front top edge of stand and the keyboard pulls out over your knees while sitting. The picture shows the monitor sitting towards the back of top shelf with some room for mouse. I move my monitor closer to front so my eyes can see screen better, which leave less space for mouse but still works for me.

Hi Arlene. If I understand your question well. With monitor in place, I have a 16 inches, I might have about 1 1/2 ft . The keyboard will shorten your work space if you are planning to be also writing at the same time. In general, I'm happy with the desk.

Virtually no shaking happens at all. There is a small wedge that you place under the keyboard platform that prevents any vibration in the up mode. In the down mode, of course, there is no shaking because it is on the desk.

I have two of these and wobble is not a problem. However, I would think that wobble from typing would most likely be caused by an unsteady desk to which the arm would be attached.

I type on my laptop frequently when it is on the stand. I do usually check the tilt knob to make sure it is tight, but its been several months now without a mishap.

Caps Lock ON and Caps Lock OFF will appear on your monitor....not the best solution, I would prefer a light on the keyboard, but it does work.

For me it is bit low for the monitor and bit high for the keyboard. I put my laptop on it anyway and work that way sometimes but from an ergonomic stand point it is not ideal.

The base cannot be adjusted enough to allow a monitor to stand on it. In fact, when I opened my laptop on the shelf it covered up the monitor in it's clamp. There is also a weight limit, which I exceeded in the dual monitor station (plus laptop). When you exceed the weight limit the monitor and keyboard walk down the poll. If you have the right weight, it is fairly easy to raise and lower everything between a sitting and standing position.
