The VIVO White Clamp-on Small Keyboard Tray (SKU: MOUNT-KB05ES-W) is a desk accessory designed to provide an ergonomic and space-saving solution for keyboard placement. This instruction manual outlines the assembly process, important safety warnings, and usage features of the product.
Function Description:
The primary function of this device is to create an under-desk keyboard tray that can be clamped onto an existing desk surface. This helps to free up valuable desk space and can improve typing posture by allowing the keyboard to be positioned at a more comfortable height and distance. The tray is designed to slide forward and backward, providing flexibility in positioning for different users and tasks. It also includes a keyboard stop to prevent the keyboard from sliding off the tray.

Usage Features:
- Clamp-on Design: The tray attaches to the desk using clamps, eliminating the need for drilling or permanent modifications to the desk. This makes it suitable for various desk types and allows for easy installation and removal.
- Sliding Mechanism: The integrated slider brackets allow the keyboard tray to be pulled out when in use and pushed back under the desk for storage, optimizing desk space.
- Adjustable Clamp Offset: The clamps can be offset using extra holes in the slider brackets. This feature allows the tray to be pulled out an additional 1.2 inches (30mm) when in use, providing more clearance and flexibility in positioning relative to the desk edge.
- Keyboard Stop: A dedicated keyboard stop can be attached to the back of the tray to prevent the keyboard from sliding off, ensuring stability and safety during use.
- Desk Protection: Pads (D) are included to be placed on the underside of each clamp, protecting the desk surface from scratches and damage when the tray is installed.
- Clearance Adjustment: The manual provides a tip for increasing clearance if the keyboard tray is not sliding in completely. Removing the keyboard backstop can provide an extra 0.75 inches (19mm) of clearance. Further clearance can be achieved by changing the orientation of the desk if it has a sync rod, to avoid interference with crossbars and cable trays.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Inspection: The manual emphasizes checking for missing or defective parts prior to installation and warns against improper installation, which can cause damage or serious injury. This suggests a need for periodic inspection of the assembled unit to ensure all components remain secure and functional.
- Weight Capacity Adherence: Strict adherence to the 11 lbs (5 kg) weight capacity is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the tray. Overloading can lead to structural failure and potential injury.
- Clamp Tightness: The manual advises against over-tightening clamps to ensure the keyboard tray remains level. This implies that users should periodically check the tightness of the clamps to maintain stability without causing deformation or damage.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly stated, general maintenance would include keeping the tray surface clean to ensure smooth operation and hygiene.
