Title: Motorized Keyboard Tray
Post by: rsantos97 on Thu, 05 January 2012, 14:51:32

I have recently purchased a Humanscale 900 Keyboard Tray with the 5G articulating arm.  I was thinking of modding it so that it slides in and out from under the desk at the push of a button.  I was thinking of using a hydraulic arm but can't seem to find a suitable one.  Can anyone help me with this idea?
