Are the edges of this desk sharp? If I had a keyboard on the top of the desk, will my arm feel irritated due to the sharpness of the edges?

I have mine set up with my keyboard on top of the desk and have no problems. The edges aren't Sharp at all.

I have had my keyboard drawer for about six months. In this period of time, I have had no issues of the case or the drawer scratching the desk. The case is a sturdy metal design and heavy enough that it would only move with a concentrated effort. The plastic drawer slides in and out easily on metal drawer slides without contacting the desk. The drawer has about 1/4 inch clearance from the desk top.

Yeah, the CPU part is funny. It's just a metal rectangle with handles. I tossed it aside myself. Also took the keyboard shelf off because it was too small anyway and I needed the legroom.

I haven't had any scratching. For my use it protects the iPad quite adequately, however, I am a very careful and gentle user for the most part, so can't speak to rougher use. I like this keyboard very much and would highly recommend it.

There may be some slight redness, but not much. The color shown in the picture is pretty true to life. I have some cherry furniture in the room where my desk is placed and although the desk is darker, it looks very nice if you don't have to have the woods match or if you put it in a space away from the cherry furniture.

When you put the desk together you could skip the step where you install the keyboard tray. It will probably not been quite as strong as it provides part of the tying together of all three sides.

It's not high enough to sit at a desk. I have a lap desk for a wireless keyboard and mouse, and I also have my monitor on an arm that I can adjust. That's how I can work from this chair. It's certainly comfortable, but it won't replace a traditional desk chair.

Yes, there are very small foam feet near the corners. I have had no trouble with scratching, but I have an old desk on which it wouldn't matter anyway.

I tested it and you can write but the material of the map on top of the desk is slightly bumpy. I use a desk mat on my desk's top to keep it scratches that will happen over time. You might want to do the same if you purchase the desk.

It is fairly comfortable for it's low profile, but I don't think it was designed with maximum comfort in mind, it was mostly designed for performance. It took a bit of getting used to on the comfort side. I strongly recommend this if your looking to improve the accuracy of your mouse. Please keep in mind that anywhere your hand makes contact on the pad is an ultra-smooth surface with no jaggedness what-so-ever. The surface is super comfortable. If you mean sharp edge feeling inside of your wrists, then maybe I can relate a bit. If comfort is your thing, I recommend trying something more beefed up in thickness. To directly answer your question: It does tend to have unpronounced sharp edge feeling inside the wrists only when just resting your hand in idle, till you get used to it. Hope this helps you with your choice, cheers!

As long as your desk is at a comfortable height I don't see why it would be any problem for a short person. The arm swings such that it can take in any radius from zero (right on top of the clamp) to it's maximum length (about 1 foot). Your elbow or forearm travels in the pad rest. I have mine positioned between 2 computers and can use it for mousing on both of them without relocating the arm rest. The rest is good for both mousing and keyboard. I tend to slide from by forearm for mousing to my elbow for keyboarding. That's probably because I am using it on two computers at once.

When it is in the lowest position, I put the keyboard on the small pull out section below the monitor that sits right on the desk top and may be has a thickness of 1/2 inch. Look at the fourth picture on Amazon that shows this. Hope that is helpful.

I'm not sure if it tilted up where the wrist rest was, I couldn't get past the discomfort of a split keyboard. The wrist rest was hard not soft so in my opinion it wouldn't cush anything. Other reviews may talk about it more, sorry.

I never have a problem with that issue. It isn't an "ergonomic" or padded wrist layout... it's just a keyboard. I wanted it for the illumination aspect and out of those currently on the market- this one came in tops for my needs without being overly pricey or made like a piece of junk that you'd toss after a few months.

For me it is bit low for the monitor and bit high for the keyboard. I put my laptop on it anyway and work that way sometimes but from an ergonomic stand point it is not ideal.

Depends how flimsy your desk is. My desk isn't real wood and this keyboard tray attached fine. I've been using it for at least a few years now with no harm to the desk.

Yes! I feel your pain, I kept looking and looking for the place and on the schematic it seems like it was on the part that made it turn from left to right. It is not there, it is actually in between the metal part somewhat hidden and recessed at the highest point of the articulating arm where it connects to the monitor and tray. Think of it this way, if the top/head of the arm was a donut... the adjusting weight screw is in the middle or hole of the "donut". Turning to the right adds tension. Make sure to adjust when you have your final monitors and keyboard as thats the weight you'll be working with me. Message me if you still need help. Yes!
