deskthority

My desk was too high so I decided to build myself a keyboard tray from scrap wood I had lying around.

Pictures: I am very pleased with the result. It's still a ugly desk but I can now enjoy typing comfortably.

Very nice, but stop pirating those audio cassettes with 80ties music, or Joe Biden will have you thrown you in prison.

I'd call that 'backing up'. You know how prone those casette tapes to mold

@dox: nice DIY tray.. but I didn't expect you to browse DT from an M11x

Sweet tray, but you are just teasing us with that sexy ErgoDox, are you not?

agreed with mSSM

Very nice setup! I have something very similar in mind when I eventually get my hand on a ErgoDox...

On difference though, I thought it would be a good idea to have a trackball in between the two halfes of the keyboard, is that a comfortable setup? I'm left handed and thought i could use the trackball with either hand then. (and then a mouse on the far right too, just in case... )

Thanks guys! Hahah 80's pirating at it's best. I remember recording songs as they played on the radio.

forcefollow: M15x. The U2711 makes it look small.

What's wrong with the ergodox teasing?

bjaven: I find it uncomfortable to reach the trackball in between the two halves.I prefer the "standard" position.

I used a track ball in the middle once, doesn't work because you arm doesn't protrude from you stomach.

Don't you have plastic sugery in the UK??

Fancy board!
