Would it be easy to lower the keyboard tray? (Remove, drill new holes, etc.)

My opinion would be no on drilling new holes as this is particleboard material-based

I did not even instal the keyboard tray (because I use a laptop), but I took a look now that you asked and I would say you can. You will just have to switch the initial metal bars from one side to the other.I hope this helps.

Sure yes... You will use a small flat screwdriver on the 8ish clips around the top and sides of the keyboard ... Once the keyboard lifts remove the jaw connecter that holds the keyboard ribbon then remove any screw labled door. Once these screws are removed use the screwdriver and push down on the part that says door open latch and push down... Then the whole piece will remove from the bottom and you will easily be able to release the ram.

The keyboard tray wrist rest has a peel off surface, I left mine on so I can slide it around.

If I understand your question right, the answer is no, or at least not un-awkwardly. Removing the keyboard doesn't seem to serve any useful purpose. If you want it at the MORE-angled position (i.e. not in the more upright, typing position), it will sit rather awkwardly with or without the keyboard. It won't sit securely at all. Again, that's if I'm understanding your question right. (I may not have had enough coffee yet today!)

Yes. You can also attach it to a board and then screw the board to the bottom of the desk top, but it will make the keyboard a bit lower - feet still go under??You can mount it out a bit too.

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 pretty sure that there would be holes without the monitor shelf. We don't have the keyboard tray on, it just sits on top of the desk.

This keyboard could have the width cut down.The original keyboard has indentation holes for the railing screws pre-marked, which would be cut off of one end when you cut the keyboard width down.Someone skilled in woodworking could cut the keyboard down to the size you want, but you'd have to be careful to put the screws for the railings in absolutely straight after the size was cut down. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it would take some careful time and patience to be absolutely sure it was cut straight when the width was cut back, and to mark the new screw locations exactly straight, but in capable hands it seems doable.

I haven't tried to remove it myself, but the only way I could even see it being removable at all would be to completely take your keyboard apart (which I believe voids the warranty, I'm not sure) and pull it out from underneath.

I replaced my own keyboard. There's a YouTube video that shows how. You DO need to be careful; and it's not quite as easy as the video shows... e.g. the ribbon from the keyboard to the motherboard needs to be crimped slightly on the sides in order to fit it into the motherboard slot. But I'm an old lady with no techie expertise; and I did it successfully. Tools needed - both a standard flathead AND a TINY phillips screwdriver.

Yes. There are pre-drilled holes to choose from where you would like the keyboard drawer to be.5 holes spaced about an inch apart giving you a keyboard drawer top surface that ranges from 2.5" below top surface of deskto about 6.5" below.+

Yes. You can't install the tray on the larger side because there are no slot for keyboard tray.

no, it does not work well and the key board is all wobbly and unstable while typing and in use. kindly send an appropriate one and replace it. thanks for the query.

Probably so....if you could get the desk delivered in one piece! I had two of these delivered and both were damaged on arrival. After the second I gave up. This is a very heavy piece of furniture though so it would probably hold the keyboard tray with no problem.

I no longer have access to the keyboard tray, but when I installed it there was very limited space . I was able to turn the cleats that attach it to the desk top so they faced inward instead of outward which saved about 1- 1/12" in width. It takes a little creativity and forethought but it can be done.

The space between the tray and the desk it is mounted to is fairly limited, so if you have a raised ergonomic keyboard it may not be able to slide under the desk.
