A keyboard tray sits below the desktop, letting you type with your elbows lower than the main work surface. These are the highest Ergo Score desks in our catalog that include one (converters with trays are covered in our converter guide).

21 desks in our catalog include a keyboard tray, averaging $502.01 and a 37.6 Ergo Score. All three picks pair the tray with an electric lift, so you can set both the desk and your typing height.

Top Picks

Top Pick

  • The keyboard tray drops your hands below this OffiGo's curved desktop, and the whole desk rises electrically from 28.3 to 46.5 inches.
  • Its 55.1 by 29.1 inch top adds three power outlets, two USB ports and two hooks for a headset or bag.
  • At $169.99, discounted from $199.99 when we checked, it's rated for 154 lb and saves three memory presets.

Runner-up

  • It ties the Top Pick's Ergo Score but swaps the curve for an L-shaped 55.2 by 31.5 inch top that fits a corner.
  • You keep the keyboard tray, three outlets and two USB ports, with an electric lift from 28.4 to 47.2 inches.
  • It was the lowest-priced of the three at $159.99, discounted from $179.99, and it's rated for 154 lb.

Strong Option

  • This AODK adds storage: two drawers sit alongside the keyboard tray, with three outlets and two USB ports built in.
  • Its electric lift covers 29.9 to 46.1 inches with three memory presets.
  • Its 55 by 21.25 inch top is shallower than the OffiGo picks and the listing gives no weight rating; it was $199.98 when we checked.
