Staccato Keyboard Arm

The Staccato Keyboard Arm from KV Waterloo is an ideal solution where storage depth is limited but an adjustable height keyboard tray is desired. The 15.25" track is short enough to permit installation in locations where a traditional full-length storage track will not fit, including many height-adjustable sit-stand desks. The patented "Lift-N-Lock" mechanism provides almost effortless height adjustment from 1.375" - 8.0" below the mounting point. The inclination or "tilt" of the tray can be adjusted from a negative inclination of -20° to +10° using an easily-accessed soft-touch knob. When fully lowered the Staccato offers approximately 9" of tray storage depth. Knee clearance is optimized, with the keyboard tray mount extending less than 0.75" below the tray.

The Staccato Keyboard Arm is equipped with plastic glides riding within a heavy-duty steel track. The Staccato is manufactured using recycled materials and is designed for disassembly and recycling.

The Staccato can be paired with many keyboard trays but please note that tray depths over 9" will still project about 2". Suggested fully storable tray options are listed in the Accessories section of the "Price & Availability" section below.

For situations where there is insufficient space for a 15.25" track the Tenor Trackless Keyboard Arm may be a solution.

• Low-Profile Design: Staccato Keyboard Arms feature a low profile mounting plate (less than 0.75") for the keyboard tray. Exposed edges are softly rounded for safety and comfort.
• 360° Swivel Joint: The articulating arm is secured to the track with a 360° Staccato Arm a versatile option for most commercial single-user or multi-user computer workstations, and a viable solution for improvised computer workstations or those with non-standard dimensions. At the majority of computer desks, with the ball-bearing track installed in its usual perpendicular position, the swivel joint offers additional usage and storage options along with the noted ergonomic benefits. At a narrow, improvised, or otherwise suboptimal computer station the track can be installed at an angle, or even horizontally beneath the desk, and the swivel joint will enable the articulating arm (i.e. the portion on which the keyboard tray will be mounted) to be swivelled forward into the correct ergonomic position. The keyboard tray can still be stored out of the way, even with this atypical installation, by sliding the arm to the back of the track, and then swivelling the keyboard tray to face the rear of the desk.
• Fits Shallow Desks: The 15.25" track is designed to fit desks with limited depth. (Note that this shorter track length will not allow a standard 11" deep keyboard tray mounted on the arm to retract fully beneath the desk; the tray will extend approximately 2" from the front of the mounting plate.)
• Extensive Height Adjustment Range: The Staccato Keyboard Arm offers 6.625" of height adjustment, from 1.375" - 8.0" below the mounting point. Those requiring a greater range of height adjustment or the need to raise the keyboard tray above the mounting height should consider whether a 17" or 23" track version of the Ovation Low Profile Leverless Arm might fit.
• Patented Spring-Assisted Lift N' Lock Counter Balancing System: The Spring-Assisted Lift N' Lock mechanism allows the mounted tray to be raised and lowered effortlessly by hand.
• Simple Dial Tilt Adjustment: The incline of the keyboard tray mounted on the arm can be easily adjusted by hand. The soft-touch knob provides a full 30° range of adjustment (+10° positive tilt to -20° negative tilt) to accommodate most usage scenarios.
• Highly Compatible: The Staccato Keyboard Arm has been machined to accept a wide range of keyboard trays. The tray mount features numerous hole patterns, making it possible to install most common keyboard trays.
• Non-Marring Finish: The Staccato Keyboard Arm is finished with a flat black wrinkle finish paint that resists fingerprints and marring.

• When measuring to determine the available mounting space it is important to measure the underside of the desk to ensure you factor in hidden obstacles such as cross supports (as on sit-stand desk), and to ensure no other desk hardware could interfere with the mounting of the track or with the tray as it is being stored.
• Adjust the height of the keyboard tray. To adjust the height of the keyboard tray, gently grasp the sides of the tray in each hand and tilt the front upwards to release the locking mechanism. Move the tray to the desired height and lower the front edge to engage the lock once again.
• Optimize the height and angle of the tray. When setting the height and angle of your keyboard tray make sure you achieve as neutral a posture as possible. Your shoulders should be relaxed (neither hunched nor hanging), your elbows should be at an angle of about 90° or slightly more open, and an imaginary line through the back of your wrists to your forearms should be reasonably straight.
