| UAII - Anyone improved the keyboard tray? |
| (1/2) > >> |

Hi All, Subject pretty much says it all. I've got a UAII kit, and as anyone with one knows, the keyboard tray is impossible to use with the front outside panel installed. It would be great if there was a neat way to hinge the front panel so that it could be easily folded out of the way. Since the tray mounts mid-way in the outer panel, I can't think of a good way to do this. Thoughts? Thanks, Endaar |

I used a long brass hinge instead of the cam locks on mine. I added a magnetic latch so it would be held vertical when closed and added a wrist rest velcro'd to the front piece. When I release the mag latch, by giving it a gentle push, the front flips down to reveal the wrist rest, keyboard and mouse. about $10 and an hour and I now have a usable solution. |

I also used a piano hinge that flips the panel down 180 degrees instead of sliding it out with the tray. The tray and keyboard then slide out with nothing in the way. I also added a lock to keep it shut. |
