How thick does the desk have to be to mount the keyboard tray?

From what I found about people installing them in that the screws are 1 inch and the desk thickness is recommended to be at least 1.5 inches. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I would assume so. Just double check how wide your keyboard is. For me the best feature was how easy it was to mount the tray below the desk. It also slides smoothly, good use of ball bearings. Hope this helped.

Hello Paul, My experience with desk thickness is that should be fine. I operate a business and have bought dozens of various mounts. I clamped this one to a plate glass desktop (very thin) and a very thick desk top. The key to securing firmly is having enough lip for the clamp to slide unto and get a good grip. Some desks have no lip and some not very deep. If not a deep lip, the issue of course is not the top, but the underneath clamp or the knob. The knob may be to close to a side panel to turn. I some cases, I have trimmed down the knob to get closer. Which then requires using a tool to turn and get tight. But that has worked a number of times. I also have secured this mount through desktop by drilling when no lip. This is a fine mount for the price. Very sturdy. Best of Luck.

The spot where the keyboard sits in mine measures 20.75 inches wide and 10 inches front to back. Mine measures 2 & 15/16 inches from the bottom of the desk to the tray. I'm using the middle setting on the bracket so you could get about another half inch of clearance by using the bottom setting.

I have mine mounted and don't remember the actual size of the screws...but the desk I have it mounted too is less than an inch thick and have had no problems with the tray (love it!!!)

When you put the desk together you could skip the step where you install the keyboard tray. It will probably not been quite as strong as it provides part of the tying together of all three sides.

An approximately ~20" wide desk should be enough to accommodate the monitor stand & keyboard tray. Note that in this setup, the Keyboard tray is more narrow than the monitor stand. Hence, the keyboard tray can tuck under the monitor stand making things even more compact.

About 1.75 inches. I attach it to the Keyboard tray that is below the desk. That way the mouse and the keyboard are at the same shoulder to elbow distance. Less strain on the shoulders.

The brackets are about 3 1/2" tall, with adjustment holes every 1/2". The lowest hole is 2 3/4" from top. I have my keyboard on a 5/8" thick piece of wood, with the brackets mounted on the 4th hole down (1 3/4" down). My keyboard shelf, from the surface to the underside of the desk is 4".

I recently installed this keyboard and found that there is only a very small additional dimension needed beyond the 23 1/2" keyboard. My desk has less than a two inch gap on either side of the keyboard. The hardware slide and mounting brackets on each side take up somewhere around 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" beyond the wood of the keyboard on each side. This is a very compact installation. The quality of both the wood and steel hardware is very well made and the slide mechanism operates smoothly and has a very solid feel - much better than the plastic keyboard drawers I'd been used to before buying this one. I am very pleased with this purchase. I hope this helps you.

After measuring my mount, 2.25" is needed for the back to be fully flush with the desk. The clamps are pretty sturdy though, so if you tighten them enough, I don't foresee any issues with stability. Regarding thickness, my desk is also about that thick, but it's solid wood so I feel comfortable with it. Physically, the mount will be able to clamp onto the desk, but it's up to you to decide if the material of the desk is strong enough to support the setup.

The keyboard tray is 22" wide. I have a wide keyboard and there is not enough space for the keyboard and mouse.

The worksurface part above the keyboard tray, is about 23" across. The keyboard tray below that is about 16 3/4". You'd have to measure your keyboard to know.

Depends how you mount it. With the mount just about flush with the front face of a desk, you can get up to about a 5" gap between the tray and the desk.

The plate that gets fastened to the underside of your desk is 5-1/2" X 17-1/4". This unit is very sturdy and meets my full expectation. You can put your wrist weight on the tray and the tray doesn't flex hardly at all so your mouse will stay put without movement when you are typing. This is a well built product.

The top of the tray keyboard is 8 1/2" above the desk. The keyboard itself sits another inch above that. It's a great setup for the price.

The monitor will be lifted for about 5 inch. if you put the keyboard on the lower deck, it is about 3/4 inch thick. Hope this helps.
