So I have a keyboard tray at work. We got a bunch with these desks, so they installed one (finally) at my request.
It's very nice, it brings the keyboard down to about the correct level. There's just one, eensy weensy little problem.
Most keyboard trays have little lips on them, so things in the tray, stay in the tray. Not mine. Oh no. I think Dogbert sold these to our company.
MY keyboard tray is a flat faux-wood thing with ROUNDED EDGES in the front and back. It's very nice-looking, but it also means that if I bump the keyboard with my elbow - or its cord with my foot - the keyboard slides easily DOWN the slope at the back and falls on my foot.
This usually also types a bunch of random garbage into the window that's open, to add insult to injury (so far, no literal injury, at least).
This. Really. Ticks me off.
I thought I was going to solve it by jamming push-pins in at intervals to form an impromptu back wall, but because it's curved there and fairly hard, they just slide off.
STUPID keyboard tray.
