Does the mouse tray have to be closed in order to slide the keyboard tray under the desk?

No, as long as the space under the desk is wide enough to accommodate the tray with the mouse tray out.

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

Probably, but it depends on the width of the opening in your desk. Our desk was 24 5/8, and that's about minimum for mounting this drawer. I had to reverse the rails (easy to do) in order to get it to fit. So you would need another 8-9" to leave the mouse tray open.

Yes, you can easily remove the keyboard tray. It is something you attach at the very end. I have this desk without the keyboard tray and it works fine.

There is a plate connector that fits under the desk and is screwed up into the desk. If your desk has a lip that extends down from the top, you will have to add a filler strip like a piece of plywood under the desk. It is pretty easy to attach. It is very solid and weighs more than other keyboard trays, but that is a big plus.

No. Unfortunately. A slide-out mouse tray is something I often find myself wanting. Otherwise great though.

the shelf attaches under the desk top and slides in and out very nicely with the keyboard on it. I keep it under the desktop when not at the computer

Yes it is a fold down keyboard and mouse tray. Lined with felt also. I love the build quality of the desk

Yes, it does slide back under the desk. depending on how far out you mount it though, it may not completely slide back under. If you mount it back a little bit, it should go completely back under the desk.

I was able to install the tray in a way that allowed me to push it back as far as I want with the keyboard still on, to hide it under the desk. It's not very practical to do that with the mouse on because it will probably fall off while pushing the tray back. Mine is wireless so I just put it on my desk. Hope this helps.

Yes it moves to access the keyboard and retracts all the way under the desk.

You can get away wihtout the keyboard tray for sure. But that bottom shelf is questionable. I assume you are going to put a computer on the right side of desk. If you pull to the left to move the desk, you make cause some damage.

The keyboard tray wrist rest has a peel off surface, I left mine on so I can slide it around.

Yes. Installation of the keyboard tray is a step in the normal installation. If you dont want to install it, there is nothing that depends on its installation.

A keyboard will slide under it, but not in the usable way unless you have a small keyboard (mine is 16" long). If you want it just for storage, the height under the drawer to the desk is sufficient to allow the keyboard to fit under the tray, but you need to slide it the long way.

my desk did not come with a sliding keyboard tray, it may be an add on, or this may be an updated picture from the time i bought it, Although This desk is very spacious, there is lost of room for a keyboard, mouse , laptop or desktop.

The storage compartment is removable (in fact it rattles a bit when I use the keyboard) so theoretically you could put something flat over the "hole" to make a larger mouse surface. It IS an opening that is covered by the tray, however- nothing underneath it.

I keep the keyboard on the desk top so I can't speak for ease of use. However, if it helps, the keyboard tray is designed as a drawer. It has a front that flips up and snaps into place (I use it as a drawer). If you put the keyboard in it, it slides out easy enough and the front snaps down very easily. The hinges are plastic so I don't know how they'd stand up to repeated opening and snapping closed over time. I've used a desk with a slide out keyboard tray, and this seems like it would work just as easily as long as you kept the front flap unhinged so it laid flat.

The mouse pads slides underneath the tray. When it is slide underneath, it measures 22" from left to right. It should fit into your desk hole.
