Two 1x3s cut to your drawer depth. 2 or more 1" wooden dowels cut to your drawer width minus 1". Using a forstner bit drill 1/2" deep evenly spaced holes in the 1x3s for your dowels to live in. Predrill holes for screws into the 1x3s and dowels then glue and screw it all together. Be sure to sink the screws into the 1x3s so that the heads are flush with the wood. You should now have what looks like a short ladder. Then using a keyboard slider (https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Slide-Extension-Steel-Set/dp/B00AHFRUHE/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=keyboard+slider&qid=1574801152&sr=8-6) you can mount the ladder you made to the slider and then the slider rails to the bed. Easy 30 min project that will cost $30.

Bought these in 2013, still solid

I got these.

For anyone that wants to know about the keyboard tray (I know most gamers hate them). This is the one I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AHFRUHE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and a black shelf from Ikea that matched my theme.

Extended Reflex 36x12 mousepad that I got from Amazon. The shelf I got is exactly that size and the mousepad fits like a glove

Rather than standard drawer slides, I'd shop for top mount drawer slides like these on Amazon. These are sold as a keyboard mount, but you could simply mount them to your rack and be good to go.

You don't need to completely avoid using it, but switch immediately to the other hand if there's discomfort.

Another reminder:

Make sure your wrist is neutral (no flexion or extension).

In regards to feeling discomfort when you're resting your wrist on the table:

Unless you're so close to the table where your elbow is on the surface, I think that there's some exertion required to keep your wrist on the surface.

An example of a bad position would be if you're far away from the surface, and your wrists are hanging on the edge.

(That's why I'm eventually going to switch from a keyboard tray to an adjustable desk, and keyboard slide with a custom sized tray.

I want more of my forearm on a surface, and a stock tray isn't deep enough.

I have a bad back, which is why I like stiff and non-adjustable chairs.

If you have an adjustable chair, then it should be fine since you can use a regular table
).

Find a better resting position for the right hand.

Try:

Maybe have more of your right forearm on the surface.

Have it the table, but don't rest it on a mouse (there's some wrist extension involved when it's on the mouse).

Have the right arm by your side.

Install these sliding racks and a piece of nice oak or a hardwood of your choice under the desk. To the right of your shifter is one mounting point and the leg on the left is the other. Then you'll have an easy to use pull out drawer to put both your keyboard and mouse on.

IMO the best solution is to build a quickie driving rig with a junkyard seat. You can have all the wood cut at Lowe's, home depot, or menard's if you have your measurements sheet. The seat should cost around 10 bucks on half off day or 20 at the worst (most pull your own yards have this and black friday is coming up when they have 75% off for one day.) For about the same price as a name brand keyboard rack you can have a nice custom rig.

This youtube video is pretty close to what I mean. It's a little fancier than mine but it's around the same price plus he gets a ton of close-ups and explains the build fairly well. You can build a nice little PC rack on the side to keep everything looking crispy for when you start streaming :)

You can buy some sliders and some wood from a hardware store

I did this for a smaller keyboard but should be able to accommodate a piano. Check out the user gallery on Amazon and similar products
