It's primarily because I want to counteract the negative comments about this product, virtually all of which reference adhesive failure, and also to let people know that it's really a great unit if you install it right.I've used a standard keyboard tray for a long, long time -- the kind with four feet that attach to the underside of your desk via screws, with a standard drawer glide -- and the design flaws finally got to me. Meaning, the unsteadiness, the unreliable locking utility, the inability to adjust height, angle, and position, the tendency for the screws to work out of the particle board desktop, etc., etc. So I researched online and settled on this model.The very design flaw that people reference in the comments on Amazon were to my mind a plus, because I realized the adhesive aspect would make installation a breeze. No way I would trust adhesive alone to hold up this entire assembly, though, and it's wrong of 3M to sell it that way. So don't assume you can trust it either. And 3M does include a pack of screws, so evidently someone there knows the truth.Here's what you do: You hook the front end (it also has adhesive on it) to the desktop, then press the back end to the desk underside for 30 seconds, and you have perfect positioning. Now you don't have to hold up a heavy assembly while lying on your back trying to make pencil marks for drill holes. Then, with the assembly firmly in place, you just take your drill and drill through the holes in the chassis into the desktop, put in 6-9 screws, and you have a rock-solid installation with the adhesive adding to the stability provided by the screws.The drawer itself is great, slides smoothly, and adjusted perfectly for me. (Note: it doesn't hide all the way under the desk; about 2 inches are left showing when you shove it in. That doesn't bother me at all, and in fact makes it easier to pull out, but I thought I should mention it.) My Apple extended keyboard and magic trackpad sit on the plain black tray perfectly, there's no wobbling or unsteadiness, and all-in-all it's a very professional set up. They include a bunch of adhesive strips in case you want to affix your keyboard permanently to the surface -- I didn't use them or even try them. My keyboard just sits there and doesn't move.I've run my own consulting business (DubinMarketing dot com) out of my home office for 16 years, and my time and productivity are critical. Hard to believe something so minor could make such a difference. What an improvement, and how I wish I'd made the change many years ago.A word about Amazon. I got this via an open-box warehouse deal for $80, including shipping. When it arrived, the wrist pad was missing. I called Amazon, reached a great gal named Christy, and she took care of the situation fast and authoritatively. Together we located a replacement 3M wrist pad on the site -- for all I know it's a better one than the missing one, since it's a top-of-the-line gel unit that alone costs almost $30 -- and she sent it to me for $0. Wow.Hope this helps your buying decision! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2013* Overall, I really like this keyboard tray. It's sturdy, has a nice wide tray that fits both the mouse and keyboard, and adjusts in several ways. However, the idea that it will stick just with the enclosed 3M strips is faulty. Mine fell after about 20 minutes and I hadn't even used the keyboard yet. It comes with the hardware to screw/drill it into the desk, but I had specifically been looking for a tray that wouldn't require that. However, it's very easy to screw it in and requires less work than a traditionally mounted keyboard (in my opinion). I was able to screw it in by hand (I don't have a drill) to my desk, which is press board on the underside. After that, the unit is extremely sturdy and I've been very pleased. My desk does have a slight lip on the front (where the front unit attaches) and it was a little difficult getting a good fit. If your desk has a more pronounced lip on it, I don't know that this would work for you. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install *by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015* Easy to install, worked great at first. Eventually the adhesive in the back came undone which bent the brackets in the front so the anchors no longer kept hold or could be screwed in. Now it falls off from the back at least twice a day.UPDATE 3/12/15: So after this tray failed I contacted 3M in January seeing if I could get a RMA on the tray. They took my details and said one was on the way. Well a few months went by with the tray constantly falling off my desk and frustrated me so bad that I ended up throwing the whole thing away. Bought a screw-in version of the tray and then much to my surprise the replacement arrived today... along with the new tray.I contacted 3M regarding this since I didn't have one to send back to them and they are letting me keep the RMA free of charge. Their customer service is beyond any other department I've ever dealt with and is really great. This time around however I am going to be screwing this tray into my desk.UPDATE 6/7/15: Well the tray started falling off again about a month ago but recently has been an almost daily issue. I now see why and what is failing on this tray. Unfortunately there is no fix and all of them will be subject to failure. On the front of the tray are two C brackets that have plastic risers you use to screw and clamp down the bracket to the front of your desk. The metal they used on these brackets isn't strong enough for the force that is applied from the tray and over time bends due to the force. Once the brackets have bent enough the tray gives out and the back flops off because the front brackets have failed. Because of the tray flopping downwards the brackets actually bend even more which means for most people the risers used on the initial install won't even reach the bottom of your desk. After bending the brackets to make them fit again over time the process repeats ad-nauseam. Anyone with a failed tray will notice cracking or missing paint on the brackets because of the metal warping from the force. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7106275-3m-knob-adjust-keyboard-tray-tool-free-installation-standard-platform](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7106275-3m-knob-adjust-keyboard-tray-tool-free-installation-standard-platform) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
