Title: What's on YOUR keyboard trays?
Post by: smarmar on Sat, 24 December 2016, 12:44:30: There's something magical about those vintage kb trays before the trends toward space-saving and material reduction took them away. Beyond practical labeling, the trays are amazing at storing your geeky go-to gadgets.

HA, I wish! No...no surrealist art-genius has been frequenting my work areas. I used my phone's panoramic feature so I could get a nice wide-angle of the desks with no perspective distortion albeit unsteady-hand-wave-distortions.

I feel like the photo is staged, look how clean the mouse is..

No one with a clean mouse would let the keyboard get that bad.

No, they're probably balls of foil saved from smoking crack/ heroin from.

Some addicts keep them around as trophies/badges of completion.

I call that my glass Pac-Man organizer, because, well....I keep my pens, scissors, sharpies, and box cutters in a Pac-Man glass beside my kb.
But it's not the same as the tray!
