    Keyboard tray vs. desk top

    For years, I had a massive Ikea desk. I could comfortably have my monitor, keyboard, mouse, reference books...everything laid out on it while I was working.

    When I moved, I ditched it because it took up too much room, and I went for form over function and bought this:

    I figured, it would hide the clutter because the whole keyboard tray slid in to it.

    Thing is, I feel awkward using it. The height just isn't working for me, I like having my hands and arms resting on the desk while I work, even if my keyboard is halfway under my monitor. I feel clumsy and "off" when things aren't at the right height. Less productive actually, I can't focus.

    So, FK, my question to you guys, what do you prefer: having your keyboard and mouse on a tray, or on the desk?

    Bonus: Does anyone want to buy a slightly used desk?
