How much, if it all, does this keyboard tray "wobble" when typing?

I'm pretty heavy handed and I found it to be very stable. I don't believe you would be disappointed with this purchase.

you would have to have a heavy hand for it to wobble at all - mine is completely stable

It's pretty solid, much more so than it looks. Could you make it wobble if you really wanted to? I suppose, but it's pretty stable in normal use. That said, I found myself using the keyboard with the tray resting on my lap, which doesn't wobble at all.

I guess it depends on how heavy of a typist you are, but mine doesn't move at all. This was really important to me too. Too distracting if it's bouncing up and down.

Not at all. Very sturdy, made of solid wood material....unlike my other one, made of plastic.

I use a wireless MAC keyboard and have a relatively light touch. Thus, there is very limited, if any, wobble. But I can see that wobble might be a problem if you have a heavier touch or use a heavier keyboard.

I never had any problems. I LOVE this keyboard. I lost it during a move. Thank you for reminding me. I will buy another now.

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

I have had no problems with this at all. I have an iBUYPOWER standard red/black keyboard, and I've had no problems with sliding around. If I set the stands down on the back of the keyboard, it slides more, but it does not slide unusually. It is not a "sticky" material, but it has enough friction to keep everything on the mat, and off of the floor.

It's not great. The keyboard has to be on an absolutely flat surface, and even then, often I found that I would either not get anything when I typed, or if I pressed harder, would get multiple letters. You have to get the hang of it, and type very deliberately. I haven't used mine much, frankly.

I've never had any issues with the keyboard, except for fat fingering. I use it at my HOA meetings, church, etc.

Sorry for not responding sooner. YES! The keys ARE wiggly. However, that was a selling point for me. I'm a nervous kind that finds moving the keys back and forth a pleasant habit while considering my next step. Silly? YEP!

My keyboard slants too but the wrist rest sits higher therefore mine does not slip away. I am able to rest my wrist on the wrist rest comfortably while I type with no issues what so ever. Hope this helps.

Yes, keyboard tray does turn from side to side. You can search online for full instructions in PDF which wasn't included in mine maybe because I bought it used here.

Mine is set at the lowest setting. My keyboard tray is just over 25" and it does not fit fully under it.

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 have never had any problems with this keyboard. At all. None. I love it. I am using it to answer this question. ;)!

It does not wobble while typing. You can put a mouse on it, but it is not sturdy enough to lean your arm on it. I noticed your user name has dr in it. This was purchased for a dr and he hates it. It is too short for him (he is 5'10"), it does not push well from room to room and feels very cheap.

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.

The keyboard tray comes out completely so your keyboard is 100% exposed. I have not had a problem with it. The tray has an attachment on top to put the keyboard cord through which helps stabilize the keyboard and prevents it from slipping around on the tray.

For the most part it is. I don't really do a lot of extended typing so it probably would be as noisy. Seems to have gotten alittle bit noisier now that the keys have loosened up a bit.

It does wobble. There is a slight crown to the back surface. I notice it when I type on it when it is lying on my desk. The one that I had on my 4 did not wobble. It is still worth the purchase!
