Title: I need a carousel style keyboard tray
Post by: patrickgeekhack on Sun, 29 August 2010, 21:28:23

I just wish such a keyboard tray existed. It would allow those of us who like or have to use different keyboards depending on mood or obligation without having to disconnect and reconnect various keyboards.

I was thinking about building one, but I have pretty much run out of room on my desk

lol, I'm still working on my keyboard shelf, then I have plans for a headphone mount. I could draw a picture and send it to you, lol.

If your main problem is plugging stuff in and out, use USB; you can leave multiple USB keyboards plugged in without any issues. That way you can just throw the annoying 'board away and grab a better one.

When you have time, please do send a picture. I'm not very good when it comes to handy work and I'm always impressed at how others come up with great ideas.

That's what I would like to get away with: plugging and unplugging. But, I wonder if I have enough room for a "keyboard carousel" under my desk.

I would also like a drafting table. I have too many hobbies.
