ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a device adapted to mount to a desk for use with a computer keyboard, a mouse, or a system such as a laptop computer. In one embodiment, the device includes a stationary bracket attachable to the desk, a main housing in sliding engagement with the stationary bracket, and a keyboard support tray connected to the main housing and adapted to support the keyboard or laptop computer. The device further includes a palm rest and an optional mouse support tray. The elevation of the keyboard support tray, palm rest, and mouse support tray may be independently adjusted. The keyboard and mouse support trays may also be independently tilted to achieve a comfortable working configuration. A locking member may also be provided to secure the housing and keyboard support tray in a stored position under the desk to prevent theft or computer system operation by unauthorized persons. An anti-pry feature may also be provided for additional security.
