But is that measurement just the unit or the hight of the knobs included in that measurement. I wanna get cracking on the slide out tray before I get the keyboard. Thanks.

    Hi i am looking for to maybe do something like this. But i have some questions. First of all whatt for desk are you using, is it ikea or something? and second is if this is in your way for your knees and legs or if it works. And third is if an ikea table like karlby which is 3.8cm thicc and the ground material is chipboard can hold a keyboard and the rail with just some screws or if its unstable?

    • @kcsounds
      @kcsounds  2 роки тому

      Hi. It’s an IKEA desk which you can see what I used here: ua-cam.com/video/uThaM-gQGa8/v-deo.html
      As for leg room, just make sure you measure for enough space for your keyboard, and legs to have room.

    • @kcsounds
      @kcsounds  3 місяці тому

      @trashtuber6021 10kg sounds like a lot. The runners are quite sturdy, might be worth checking the specs to see if it can hold all that weight.
      In terms of leg room-depends on how much space you need. Measure your space, and see if it’ll work for your needs

So that you know measurements are read form left to right as 1"inchWideX2"inches Deep X3"Inches High. I jusst want you to look sharp my friend.
