Typing at the correct height, distance, and angle reduces strain on the body resulting in less pain. The Switch Ultra-Thin Keyboard Tray System by UPLIFT Desk has it all!

Compatible for Left and Right-Handed Users

It can be challenging when you're a left-handed person living in a world designed for right-handed users. UPLIFT Desk has created a solution that works for everyone. The switch keyboard tray works for both left, right, and ambidextrous users. Slide the mouse tray towards the center of the keyboard tray to adjust for left and right-handed mousing. The keyboard platform is 19.75" W x 12.5" D plus contains an additional 9" diameter mouse tray. These measurements enable you to have the proper amount of room to work.

Achieve the perfect typing posture

Perfect Posture While Typing

Achieve your perfect typing posture by placing the keyboard tray closer to your lap. The goal is to type with straight wrists while having your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle. To help you determine the correct height for your desk, keyboard tray, and chair we've even included an ergonomics calculator for you here. These steps will ensure a comfortable fit while typing.

Quick-Adjust Mechanism

The Quick-Adjust Mechanism is one of two mechanism options for your keyboard tray system. This advanced feature has a simple lift and release option for adjusting the height of your tray. Enjoy up to 8" of height adjustment features.

The Quick-Adjust Mechanism
The Economy Mechanism

Economy Mechanism

The Economy Mechanism is the second option to use with the Switch Ultra-Thin Keyboard Tray. Use the knob on the side of the tray to create your correct typing position. Experience up to 6" of height adjustment features with spring assistance.

Swivel Movement

The 360-degree swivel movement allows you to move your keyboard tray away from you or store under your desk. If a co-worker would like to join you at your desk for an impromptu meeting, swivel the tray out of your way for more deskspace during your collaboration.

360 degree of swivel movement
Find your perfect ergonomic angle

Tilt for Better Ergonomics

The Quick-Adjust mechanism has a platform tilt angle marked so you can see the degree at which your tray is tilted. This precise measurement ensures you not only find your correct ergonomic angle but also allows you to easily reposition when you see your tray has moved out of place.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Do more people prefer the Big Standard Keyboard Tray or the Switch Ultra-Thin Keyboard Tray?

    It comes down to preference. Some people really enjoy having a separate mousing platform and will, therefore, be happier with the Switch. Other people are quite content with the single, large surface provided by the Big Standard Keyboard Tray.

  2. What are the benefits of the Switch Ultra-Thin over the Big Standard Keyboard Tray?

    The Switch Ultra-Thin Keyboard Tray has a more compact footprint, thanks to the separate mouse platform. It also features a cable organizer to keep your mouse cord in line.

  3. What is the track spacer and do I really need one?

    The crossbar of the UPLIFT frame is mounted to the underside of the desktop, and may get in the way of your keyboard tray when you try to push it all the way under the desktop. That is when the Track Spacer is needed. The Track Spacer goes over the crossbar and allows you to install the keyboard tray directly to it, instead of to your desk. This means that you will be able to fully store your keyboard tray under your desk without hitting the crossbar.

  4. Can I tilt the mousing platform independently of the keyboard platform?

    No, both the keyboard tray and mouse platform tilt in unison.

  5. Why is it called a "switch" keyboard tray?

    The Switch Ultra-Thin Keyboard Tray allows you to easily "switch" the mousing platform from left to right, depending on which hand you prefer to use for mousing.

  6. Are there one or two mouse platforms that slide out from underneath the Switch Ultra-Thin Keyboard Tray?

    There is one mousing platform that slides from side-to-side underneath the keyboard platform. Only one side of the mouse platform can be used at a time.

  7. I just installed my keyboard tray but now it won't lower, help!

    You may have forgotten to remove the shipping pin. Refer to step four of the installation guide for how to remove the shipping pin and you'll be enjoying your keyboard tray in no time.

  8. How big is the Switch Ultra-Thin Keyboard platform?

    The keyboard platform measures 19.75" W x 12.5" D x 0.25" H

  9. Can I choose either the Economy or Quick-Adjust Mechanism?

    Yes! We recommend the Quick-Adjust Mechanism due to its advanced adjustment features.

  10. Can I use this if I'm left or right-handed?

    Yes, the mouse tray can be moved from left to right.

  11. Does this model come in any other colors besides black?

    Not at this time.

  12. Can I use this with other desks?

    Yes, this accessory is compatible with UPLIFT and non-UPLIFT desks.

  13. Does the wrist rest contain any latex?

    No, the wrist rests are 100% polyurethane with no latex rubber.
