The Ovation provides the largest range of movement of any articulating keyboard arm on the market today (other than sit-stand arms) in a low profile, durable design. It uses a near-effortless patented "Lift-N-Lock" counterbalance mechanism to adjust an attached tray from 7.0" below to a full 3.8" above (17" track version: 5.8" below and 2.6" above) the mounting point. A Height Indicator Gauge makes adjustment easy to measure. The inclination, or "tilt," of the tray can be adjusted from a negative inclination of -15° to +10° using a large Dial-a-Tilt knob that includes an "Inclination Gauge" (allowing accurate repositioning at the desired angle).

The sleek, low profile design provides excellent clearance for the legs and knees. The arm swivels 360° from the track mount for side to side movement. Three track lengths are available. The 17" (8634D17) model can be deployed where mounting space is restricted but has a more limited range of height adjustment and does not permit full storage of trays. The 23" (8624D23) storage track offers the full range of height adjustment and permits full storage of trays up to 11" in depth. To fully store an Extra-Deep (13") or Mouse Intensive Tray underneath the desk, an Extended Track (8624D28) version is also available with all the features of the 8624D23 but equipped with a 28" track. All Ovation models accept all standard trays and use a high quality steel ball-bearing storage track that has a much longer lifespan than a glide track.

The Ovation Sit-Stand Keyboard Arm by KV Waterloo offers a range of height adjustments to accommodate sit-stand workstations. Using a patented "Lift N Lock" counterbalance mechanism the arm allows an attached keyboard tray to be positioned at heights ranging from 8.4" above the mounting point to 5.6" below it. The 23" storage track enables most keyboard trays to be fully stored beneath the desk when not in use. The curved neck (see the first image on the Detailed Specifications page for an illustration) allows individuals to be comfortably close to the desk when seated and when standing.

All Ovation Keyboard Arms include a low profile mounting plate for the keyboard tray. The mounting plate is connected to a "Direct Drive" dial tilt mechanism that includes an inclination gauge. By simply turning the dial, and watching the inclination gauge, one can easily set up their workspace to position their keyboard at the preferred inclination, from a positive inclination of +10° to a flat 0° to a negative inclination of -15°.

NOTE: On a standard 28.5" high desk (measured from the underside of the desk), the Ovation Sit-Stand Keyboard Arm will provide enough height for proper "standing" positioning of the keyboard tray with no inclination for those under 5'5". For individuals standing between 5’5” and 5’7”, this product can still be suitable but will require a negative inclination on the tray (which brings up the tray worksurface accordingly). This arm is also suitable for individuals under 5’ 7” who are using a “lean-into” seat which puts them in a position between sitting and standing. If negative inclination on the tray is acceptable, those between 5’ 7” and 5’ 10” may also be able to use this product to meet their needs. Taller persons may be accommodated by raising the mounting height through use of products such as the Raise-Its. Of course, monitor elevation must also be considered when moving to a standing position.

The Tenor Trackless Keyboard Arm from KV Waterloo was designed to require the minimal amount of undersurface mounting space while still providing storage for keyboard trays up to 9.5" in depth. Requiring just 9.375" of mounting depth, the Tenor Trackless Keyboard Arm features a direct mount which is ideal for situations where there simply is insufficient space to accommodate a traditional track-mount keyboard arm. It will permit full storage of trays up to approximately 9" deep. While 11" deep trays can also be mounted only about the first 9" of depth will be stored (i.e. on an 11" deep about 2" of tray will protrude).

The Tenor Keyboard Arm has all the features of traditional "tracked" arms. Keyboard height and storage are easily accomplished employing a simple "Lift-N-Lock" mechanism and angle adjustment (+10° to -15°) is a simple Dial-A-Tilt. Clearly readable independent gauges behind the tray show the current elevation and angle. Elevation ranges from -1.25" to - 7" below the mounting surface, a full 5.75" of range. The Low Profile head ensures optimal knee and leg clearance at all positions—even when fully stored the arm extends only 5.75" below the mounting point.The arm also features a full 360° swivel mount, offering the potential for full storage of deeper trays by rotating the tray below the desk surface when sufficient clearance exists.

Individuals using sit-stand desk who desire a keyboard arm may find that the direct mount and compact design of the Tenor Trackless Keyboard Arm result in less vibration transfer to their monitors than do traditional tracked arms. As well, the trackless "direct mount" design lends itself to installation on desks with crossbars which would normally render the installation of a tracked keyboard arm impossible.
NOTE: The Tenor Trackless Keyboard arm DOES NOT accommodate the hole pattern of Humanscale Keyboard Trays.

The Staccato Keyboard Arm from KV Waterloo is an ideal solution where storage depth is limited but an adjustable height keyboard tray is desired. The 15.25" track is short enough to permit installation in locations where a traditional full-length storage track will not fit, including many height-adjustable sit-stand desks. The patented "Lift-N-Lock" mechanism provides almost effortless height adjustment from 1.375" - 8.0" below the mounting point. The inclination or "tilt" of the tray can be adjusted from a negative inclination of -20° to +10° using an easily-accessed soft-touch knob. When fully lowered the Staccato offers approximately 9" of tray storage depth. Knee clearance is optimized, with the keyboard tray mount extending less than 0.75" below the tray.

The Staccato Keyboard Arm is equipped with plastic glides riding within a heavy-duty steel track. The Staccato is manufactured using recycled materials and is designed for disassembly and recycling.

The Staccato can be paired with many keyboard trays but please note that tray depths over 9" will still project about 2". Suggested fully storable tray options are listed in the Accessories section of the "Price & Availability" section below.

For situations where there is insufficient space for a 15.25" track the Tenor Trackless Keyboard Arm may be a solution.

The KOCHAB Articulating Keyboard Kit by ErgoVerse offers basic keyboard height and tilt adjustability for the budget conscious. The affordability of the KOCHAB makes it an ideal solution for locations where ergonomics are still important but where 1) adjustment will be occasional, 2) full keyboard tray storage is not required, and 3) cost is a factor.

The simple design means that height and angle adjustments are accomplished simultaneously with a single release. One hand is employed to release or tighten the large, easily locked knob while the other hand moves the keyboard tray to the desired height and angle.

The KOCHAB offers 5.3" of elevation adjustment below the work surface and 9" of storage travel along a 17" track. A full 360° swivel accommodates situations where alternative mounting (such as lateral) may be needed and heavy-duty steel construction throughout ensures a stable keyboard surface. The 27" wide x 11" deep coated MDF keyboard tray offers sufficient room for the largest of keyboards and a mouse. Some assembly is required.

Le KOCHAB Articulating Keyboard Kit d'ErgoVerse offre la hauteur et une inclinaison général pour ajuster le clavier, une solution économique. Le coûx bas du KOCHAB est une solution idéale pour les endroits où l'ergonomie est toujours importante mais où 1) l'ajustement sera occasionnel, 2) le ranger au complet de la tablette n`est pas nécessaire, et 3) le coût est un facteur.

La conception simple signifie que les changements de hauteur et d'angle sont accomplis en même temps avec un seul ajustement. Avec une main, facilement libérer ou serrer le grand bouton, tandis que l'autre main déplacer la tablette à la hauteur et à l'angle désirés.

Le KOCHAB offre un ajustement de 5.3po en dessous du bureau et une course de 9po de distance pour ranger sur la glissère/track de 17po. Un pivot complet de 360 ° convient aux situations où un montage alternatif (latéral) peut être nécessaire. Une construction en acier robuste assure une surface de clavier stable. La tablette de clavier MDF est 27po de largeur et 11po de profondeur qui offre suffisamment d'espace pour le plus grand des claviers et une souris. Un peut d`installation est nécessaire.

The 6G Articulating Keyboard Arm Mechanism from Humanscale is a lightweight (only 6.5 lbs) articulating keyboard mechanism which uses 28% less material than previous models of Humanscale arms. It provides height adjustability from 5.25" below to 1.75" above the mounting point. The 0° to 15° dial-a-tilt feature lets individuals set the tray at any desired negative inclination in that range. It includes a 22" steel track with plastic glides (not ball-bearings) for storage when the tray is not in use.

Note: The 6G Keyboard Arm Mechanism can only accept Humanscale keyboard trays. If unsure of what type of keyboard tray you already have or are willing to consider alternative ball-bearing arms with longer durability and superior range consider the Ovation Low Profile Leverless Arm.

The Desk Clamp Keyboard Trays from Aidata are simple and economic solutions for situations where a temporary or occasional use keyboard tray is required. Whether there is a need to improve the ergonomics of an improvised workstation, such as when working from home, or to even just quickly and temporarily adapt an existing worksurface that is too high for an individual, the Desk Clamp Keyboard Trays will ably meet the need. Constructed of high impact plastic these trays provide a rigid surface for both keyboard and mouse. They attach directly to the front of desk surfaces (up to 1.57" thick) and require 32" of open space for mounting. Sturdy steel clamp brackets (requiring 2.25" of surface) secure the trays firmly in place and glide rails in the underside of the tray permit virtually complete storage. On the single height version (KB-1010) the tray is positioned 4.25" below the surface of the desk or table and on a 1.5" thick surface will have approximately 2.75" of clearance between the underside of the desk top and the keyboard tray. The KB-3010 can be configured to 3 different fixed heights, 3.625", 4.375", and 5.125" below the surface, making it suitable for a wider range of individuals or for mobile applications where mounting surface heights may vary. If needed, changing the height can be done in a couple of minutes with a simple screwdriver. With both models, thinner desk tops will offer a correspondingly greater clearance.

The Desk Clamp Keyboard Tray surface is 27.5" wide and offers a 10.5" depth of flat surface for keyboard and mouse. The front 1.25" is an ergonomic "waterfall" edge designed to reduce the risk of pressure against the underside of the wrist. The rear of the tray has a low ridge to keep both keyboard and mouse from sliding off the rear of the tray. When stored about 1" of the front lip extends forward of the desk surface.

With a weight of just 5 lbs these trays are ideal for situations where an individual is traveling to workplaces that may not offer a keyboard tray but where the desk surface is too high to ensure proper ergonomics. Once initial assembly (less than 5 minutes) is completed, the tray can be attached and removed in under a minute and will not mark the existing desk surface.
Note: This is not suitable for attachment to glass surfaces as pressure from the clamp brackets could potentially cause the glass to break.

If regular adjustment of keyboard tray height or angle is required, or if the workstation is to be more permanent a heavy-duty Keyboard Tray System may be a more suitable option.

Le Desk Clamp Keyboard Tray d'Aidata est une solution simple et économique pour les situations dans lesquelles l'utilization d'une tablette/plateau de clavier (keyboard tray) est temporaire ou occasionnel. Qu'il s'agisse d'améliorer l'ergonomie d'un poste de travail improvisé, comme dans le cas du travail à la maison, ou d'adapter rapidement et temporairement une surface de travail existante qui est trop haute pour une personne, les Desk Clamp Keyboard Trays répondront parfaitement à ce besoin. Construit en plastique résistant aux chocs, la tablette offre une surface rigide pour le clavier et la souris. Ils se fixent directement à l’avant du bureau (jusqu'à 1.57po d'épaisseur) et ont besoin d'un espace libre de 32po pour fixer. Des supports en acier robustes (qui ont besoin de 2.25po de surface) fixent la tablette solidement en place et des glissières à l’intérieur la permet d'être ranger pratiquement au complete. La tablette qui a un seul hauteur (modèle KB-1010) est positionnée à 4.25po en dessous de la surface du bureau ou table. Elle est 1.5po épaisse, qui permet environ 2.75po d'espace entre le dessous du bureau et la tablette. Le KB-3010 peut être configuré à 3 hauteurs fixes différentes, 3.62po, 4.38po et 5.13po dessous la surface, ce qui le rend compatible à un plus grand nombre de personnes ou à des applications mobiles où la hauteur des surfaces de montage peut varier. Si nécessaire, le changement de hauteur peut être fait en quelques minutes à l'aide d'un simple tournevis. Avec les deux modèles, les bureaux qui sont plus mince offrent encore plus d'espace.

Le Desk Clamp Keyboard Tray est de 27.5po de large et offre une profondeur de 10.5po de surface pour clavier et souris. Le devant 1.25po est un bord ergonomique "en cascade" conçu pour réduire le risque de pression sur le dessous du poignet. L'arrière de la tablette a une arrête basse pour empêcher le clavier et la souris de tomber derrière. Quand la tablette est ranger, elle d'épasse le devant du bureau environ 1po.

Avec un poids de seulement 5 livres, ces tablettes sont des solutions idéales pour les individues qui travaillent aux postes mobiles (voyagent d'un entroit à l'autre) qui n'offrent pas de tablette de clavier, mais où la surface du bureau est trop élevée pour assurer l'ergonomie appropriée. Une fois assemblé (moins de 5 minutes), la tablette peut être fixé et retiré en moins d’une minute et ne marquera pas la surface du bureau existant. Veuillez noter: Cela ne convient pas pour la fixation sur des surfaces en verre. La pression exercée par les supports de serrage pourrait éventuellement craqués le verre.

Si un ajustement régulier de la hauteur ou de l'angle du plateau de clavier est nécessaire, ou si le poste de travail doit être plus permanent, un Keyboard Tray System pour l'usage intensif peut être une option plus appropriée.

The Duet Sit-Stand Arm can be employed to create a sit-stand workstation suitable for a wide range of heights. It is able to be lowered a full 6.5" below and raised to 12.5" above the mounting point.

The Duet Sit-Stand Arm features a convenient tilt control release permitting ±15° of worksurface adjustment and a field adjustable coil spring which adjusts for load counter balance. Height adjustment is easily accomplished by using the T-pull release to disengage the lock, then raising or lowering the tray to the desired working height. The slim (only 0.75" wide) dual arm (with crossbar) design ensures that the knees and legs have plenty of room - and far more than any single central support arm. The Duet Sit-Stand Arm is available in four widths, each offering progressively more width between the tray support arms. For optimal workspace and knee clearance the wider models are generally recommended unless there are space restrictions.

The Duet Sit-Stand Arm easily accommodates custom-built trays or you may choose to select the appropriate Duet Arm Custom Tray to create a complete sit-stand workstation. The 39" tray is wide enough for a keyboard, mouse, phone and notepad - a complete desk available for use while sitting or standing.

When installed on an average height, 1" thick worksurface (28.5" from the floor to the underside of the desk), this arm can elevate an attached tray to 41". By taking advantage of the negative inclination option and angling the front edge of the tray upwards, the potential height range can be extended slightly higher (42" - 43"). Note: For taller individuals it may be possible to achieve greater elevation by employing a product such as RaiseIts to raise the desk, thereby raising the mounting point. If this is not practical there are many other options available to create sit-stand workstations for taller persons.

While the Duet Sit-Stand Arm does offer a wide range of height adjustment, it accomplishes this with the sacrifice of storability. If the ability to store the tray below the desk is necessary there are other options which may be suitable. Please call and speak with a Customer Service Representative should this be the case.

This tray allows easy height, tilt, and swivel positioning of your keyboard. While it does offer both height and tilt adjustment these cannot be adjusted independent of each other, i.e. any adjustment requires resetting of both height and tilt. It includes a full-width leatherette-covered gel palm pad (with anti-microbial protection; 3M model WR340LE) and a 7.25" x 6.25" 3M Precise Optical Mousing Surface (MP200PS) that can be positioned to the left or right. Installation is done without tools in four easy steps, typically in less than 10 minutes. The sliding track is attached via an adhesive strip and the front is secured by hooking the front lip over the desk edge. Also, the keyboard tray is storable, but not fully under the desk (3.0" protrusion); and the tray itself is made of coated MDF (Medium Density Fiber) board.

The 5G Articulating Keyboard Arm Mechanism from Humanscale is the heavier duty precursor to the current 6G Arm. It provides a reasonable amount of height adjustability from 5.00" below to 1.25" above the mounting point. The 0° to 15° dial-a-tilt feature allows the user to set the tray at any desired negative inclination in that range. It includes a 22" or 27" steel track with plastic glides (not ball-bearings) for storage when the tray is not in use.

Note: The 5G Keyboard Arm Mechanism can only accept Humanscale Keyboard trays. If you are unsure of what type of keyboard tray you already have or are willing to consider alternative ball-bearing arms with longer durability and superior range consider the Ovation Low Profile Leverless Arm.
