Some day, I'll get an Ergotron WorkFit-S.
For now, I simply have a shelf at my ghetto standing desk.
I am not a fan of the adjustable trays for the reasons noted above. I just bought a desk with a pullout tray that is built like a drawer with a fold down front. It was designed to be very sturdy and it is very shallow in height. I looked at several options after measuring the top of my legs while having my chair in the correct postion and me at a neutral 90 deg. bend in the arm and bought the desk that fit my specs. As noted above as well, this did put the monitor a little further away, but nothing a quick boost in magnification couldn't fix. (I have removed the monitor stand since taking this picture for a more neutral center of monitor as well).Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=57987.0;attach=178932;image)
I agree. But first I need more gpu. Not going over 1440p until I have more than my gtx 970. I tend to run 2 gen. behind on gpu to keep the cost down. I will probably won't upgrade for a while since my current setup play most games that I play pretty solid (100+ fps for D3 and Overwatch with low AA).I am not a fan of the adjustable trays for the reasons noted above.

Too smallz.. u n33d m0ar monitor ..
They all have one fatal flaw that is a deal breaker for me. They rock and bounce. On a Mech board it sucks. This is by their very nature. 8+" of board on either side bolted to a 4" square control arm. They should figure out how to make it rock solid. AS it is of great importance but I simply cannot deal with that.Those exist. When I worked for the guvamint, they would use some that locked into place very solidly. They cost as much as a decent desk, however, if memory serves.
You guy's use one? Which one? does it move? Or where else do you place your keyboard when typing?At work, no, because I would need an adjustable height desk, first (one could be set in front, which some people do, but that creates its own problems with space). At home, I have a fixed-height desk, which has a cutout above the tray, and has limited height adjustment by way of screws in the thick steel brackets it is attached with. The tray is also 1.5" MDF.
It's not really that uncommon for a a desk to have a sloped front is it?in both scenarios you are gonna use your main hand a lot, so I can see this be a practical solution
The office at my last job had desks with a slanted and rounded front and it was pretty comfortable, not has steep an angle has the Distil and only on the front tho. And not that expensive either.
I think it's more for writing than for typing.
The best bet is to do as I did and build a tray. My tray has a heavy steel rail on each side. 3/4" Walnut for the platform. It has but one articulation I engineered for my needs It will raise 8-1/2" above the 29-1/2" desk. I did this simply by extending it with straight screw bars on each side and a spring that snaps into place, moving a small piece of metal on each side to keep it put. My legs at the proper height in the chair will not fit under a 29-1/2" desk but at 38" I am good. It is not crudely made but it only has one position as to maintain the rigidity I prefer.
