One of the most important tenets of ergonomics is ensuring that your keyboard is optimally positioned to allow you to type with your wrists straight, your arms handing comfortably at your sides, and your elbows at an approximate 90-degree angle. The Big Keyboard Tray System by UPLIFT Desk is an all-in-one solution that prevents discomfort and improves your focus and productivity while at your desk. With its platform tray spanning a full 27", it is large enough to hold both your mouse and keyboard. This feature enables you to keep your most-used desk accessories within reach, which results in fewer strenuous movements throughout your workday.
The Big Standard Keyboard Tray System comes with two mechanism options for adjustment, both of which allow you to customize the tray to find your own personalized height and angle. The Quick-Adjust Mechanism features a lift-and-release function that allows you to make adjustments quickly and efficiently. Similarly, the Economy Mechanism features a single knob that you turn to adjust the height and tilt angle of your keyboard tray, then lock to set your adjustments. Both mechanisms include both an 11" and 21" under desk mounting tracks (making them compatible with almost any desk). We include the optional 11” track for use if you have limited flat space under your desk. And 360-degree swivel possibilities, which allow you to move your keyboard when you need extra space to readjust your workspace or collaborate with a co-worker.
This industry-leading keyboard tray system also brings your keyboard closer to your lap, which results in a more comfortable and ergonomic working position. Studies show that when you're repetitively forced to stretch to reach your keyboard, you can develop pain in your arms, wrists, and hands. Since the Big Standard Keyboard Tray System by UPLIFT Desk allows you to adjust its height, depth, and tilt to find the position that suits you best, you can keep your wrists straight and your elbows correctly bent. This will make for a more comfortable workspace and will reduce and prevent current and future strain. If you need help finding your ideal working posture, be sure to check out our Ergonomic Calculator to determine what works best for you!

Big Standard Keyboard Tray System FAQs
- Do I need to be trained in ergonomics to find the right adjustments for myself?
Of course not! Our team of knowledgeable experts is here to answer any questions. You can put our ergonomic calculator to use as well
- Should I choose the 11" and 21" track options?
Both sizes give you the option to swivel the system 360 degrees, but if you have limited space under your desk, we recommend using the 11" track. Or you could purchase our Track Spacer to allow the 21" track to go over frame parts and cables.
- Do I need an ergonomic keyboard if I don't currently have wrist pain?
Yes, an ergonomic tray system and keyboard is a great way to prevent future pain and discomfort
- I installed my keyboard tray, but it won't lower. Help!
In most cases like these, the shipping pin is still intact. To fix, we recommend double checking the instructions and lifting up on the front of the tray while lowering the back of the tray to relieve pressure on the pin. Doing so should help you to remove the pin, but if it doesn't, feel free to give us a call at 1 (800) 349-3839
- I just installed my keyboard tray and I can't get the tray to lower. Did I do something wrong?
If you've just installed your tray and it isn't lowering, you may have forgotten to remove the shipping pin. You can find instructions on how to remove it in step four of your installation guide. You will just need to lift up on the front of the tray and lower the back to relieve pressure from the shipping pin. Then it will be easy to remove.
- Can I use this with other desks?
Yes, this accessory is compatible with UPLIFT and non-UPLIFT desks as long as you have enough clear space under your desk to attach the 11" or 21" track for the track spacer.
- Does the wrist rest contain any latex?
No, the wrist rests are 100% polyurethane with no latex rubber.
