On the Pro model in the standing position is there plenty of room on the desk to rest your wrists in front of the keyboard? Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by "plenty" and how big your keyboard is, how big your monitor bases are, and your preferred visual distance from the monitors. With a standard keyboard and standard vision, you should have adequate room for a basic wrist rest.

There is. The base, in contact with the actual desk, can extend out or retract. The platform, on which your monitor and keyboard would sit when raised, don't actually touch the desk when lowered. I still have a USB keyboard, and I'm thinking of getting a wireless as you would want to move the keyboard down to the actual desk. (Great product for what it is worth!)

You have plenty of room to move the keyboard around on the desk. You can rest your wrist on the desk, the keyboard or a wrist cushion if you would like. I actually use a wireless keyboard and mouse so i can move them completely off of the desk and use the desk to review/write on reports.

Yes. The desk is deep enough for your monitors, keyboard, mouse and your wrists.

I use a Logitech wireless keyboard with my Varidesk Pro and there is plenty of room on the desk to rest your wrists on the keyboard.

No. Not with my dual screens, since the base is bigger than a typical single screen monitor.

Yes, I have a separate wired keyboard that I use. There's about 2 1/2 inches of space between the desk and the lowest part of the stand. The keyboard sits in front of my computer... I pretty sure that's what you mean. Hope that helps.

There is room for a built in wrist rest or gel pad for your wrist. User said it didn't seem to make a difference. She no longer uses it because she operates a switch board a computer and tends to move around a lot...so it was not convenient to be moving the tray on and off the chair arm rests every time she needed to do something other than operate her computer. She also said that it gave her the feeling of being in a [and i quote] "high chair!"

I haven't found that to be a problem but my desk is pretty wide. Ergonomically I think it's fine. Overall I've been quite pleased with the keyboard.

The 'desk' area is a soft surface. It is at such an angle, that I have some difficulty keeping my pc on it. Wish the lip was a little higher. As I like using a mouse rather than the keyboard, I just 'read' on it.

I believe the answer is "yes", assuming your keyboard is no bigger than 11 1/2 inches by about 18 inches (allowing about 6 x 10 for a mouse). The wrist guard/support is not attached to the tray when it arrives. One can decide not to use it, which is the choice I made. I did choose to use an old wrist support for the mouse, however. By the way, I also chose not to attach the keyboard to the tray, because the keyboard is wireless. I've been very satisfied with this product, after years of putting up with cheap plastic trays which didn't last. Hope this helped.

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.

The tray area is long enough (20.5") and deep enough (11.5"). I think ergonomic keyboards are usually raised a bit more than standard, so it couldn't be higher than (2.5"). Any higher than that and it will be scraping the desk. Measure how high your keyboard is. Those are the other measurements of what this tray can hold. I hope that helps.

I have an under-the-desk keyboard tray, and with the keyboard tray, the extra cable feels like overkill. I originally thought the cable would be useful because I was in an "arms up on the desk" position - and that position is a little more comfortable with my arms spread wide. But I can't do that any more because it gives me upper back discomfort. If I were you I'd spend the extra $20 ... on an under-the-desk keyboard tray, instead of extra cable. My wrists became happy when I got this keyboard ... my shoulders and upper back became so happy when I got the keyboard tray so my upper arms can hang straight down :) I have an under-the-desk keyboard tray, and with the keyboard tray, the extra cable feels like overkill.

You might check the specs--especially the height, but the interior space is very roomy. My only issues were the inferior clasps that attached the shoulder strap. One of mine broke with the weight of my 35 lb. keyboard. I replaced them with more heavy- duty connections.

Yes perfectly if you only have the Pro 3 and its keyboard... That fits into the specially padded pocket. I've got a folio cover to enclose the above(specially made for Surface Pro 3) for when I carry it casually.. With this on it still fits in the bag but in the slightly less padded pocket alongside. Great bag .. Hope this helps

The wrist rests that come with this are not attached and the user can install them or not, so in your case you don't need to install them and your larger keyboard with rests should work just fine.

Yes. I have been using it with a regular keyboard for more than a year. It is the best wrist rest I have used.

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.

Sorry, no. It tilts from the center arm so the keyboard can be positioned in height and be parallel or tipped high or low in front. I have a stand up desk so I line the keyboard high to the front so my hand is in a natural position, wrists straight, fingers down. My desk opening is 25" and there is very little clearance... Not 2"

Unfortunately, no, not really. The bars that are supposed to support the underside of the keyboard are too long to fit in the grooves, so that you either have the keyboard wanting to flip over away from you, or flip over towards you. I am likely exaggerating how unbalanced it is, but nevertheless, with its tendency to slide on the stand, it can become a real issue.

No. The desk area of the Varidesk Pro is 36 inches in the front (where your keyboard & mouse will most likely be) and 30 inches in the back (where the monitors would sit). I have two 22 inch widescreen monitors at a 45 degree angle and monitor bases just fit on the platform with a couple inches to spare.
