3M Knob Adjust Keyboard Tray

Pros

  • +A manual knob mechanism adjusts both tilt and height precisely
  • +3M's keyboard-tray hardware line has the longest track record of any pick we compared
  • +The most precisely tunable platform once you've identified the angle that helps
  • +Solid build quality consistent with 3M's broader office-hardware reputation

Cons

  • Costs roughly 4x either budget keyboard tray in its comparison set
  • The knob mechanism takes longer to dial in initially than a fixed-angle tray
  • Overkill if desktop height alone is the only issue
  • No mouse-specific platform included
