Base de teclado pra se colocar em mesa. Puta produto simples mas não existe no mercado brasileiro. O bom é que por conta de existir uma NR de ergonomia, você teria "automaticamente" um mercado corporativo imenso pra se adequarem as normas de ergonomia.

Reddit did not like my text. here it is. I wanted to replace my glass L-shaped computer desk as I had it for 10 years and wanted to fix issues I had with it. So I laid out my requirements:
I looked at roomandboard.com, and found a table I liked, but not cheap, with shipping, around $1700.
http://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/office/desks/parsons-leg-l-shaped-desks
So can i do it myself for less?
I started by looking on r/DIY and came across pipe desks. Great idea, industrial look, and would fit in with my building as i live in a gentrified industrial neighborhood.
Here was a great example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/2w3phn/pipe_and_butcher_block_ldesk/
Shoutout to u/tylergarner as I stole some of his ideas, such as the powerstrip he used and the metal mending strips. Thanks!
My issues with this DIY (not everyone has these constraints)
So i needed to solve the wood top issues and the legs problem.
Solving the Table top issue.
I looked online for options for wood, and found options besides Lumber Liquidators that have finished wood tops
www.crosscuthardwoods.com (local portland, oregon store 2 miles from my loft) - they carried two brands
http://www.amazon.com/John-Boos-Thick-Commercial-Butcher/dp/B005IZ2EZQ/ref=sr_1_19?srs=2594426011&ie=UTF8&qid=1450283655&sr=8-19&keywords=john+boos+maple
Local companies in your city may be able to order these or maybe a different brand
Benefits of buying finished
Issues - costs can be higher and staining is not possible
Things to consider if you choose this approach - Ensure you know if you wanted finished (Poly) or unfinished. You can get it either way. John Boos will burn their logo into the wood unless requested not to have name.
I decided on 60 by 30 by 1.5 inches thick Maple, square edge, poly and no logo. Good news is that crosscut had it in stock by both vendors.
John Boos $328 and Michigan Maple ($298). I went with John Boos as the finish was smoother and the wood pieces were the length of the table, not the traditional butcher block style.
I bought two.
Solving the Leg issue
I searched on line for "metal table legs" and found several vendors.
http://www.tablelegsonline.com/table-legs.html
http://www.tablelegworld.com/Table-Height-Table-Legs
Ikea sells them as well
I was unsure the height so i went with cheap and fast, adjustable black legs from Ikea. $15/each needed 7 ($105 total)
One of the two tables is short a leg, below I talk about how i support the missing leg.
https://us-mg5.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=showLetter&umid=2_0_0_1_344973_AIt2imIAABORVnERMgfrWKGy%2F3A&box=Inbox&src=td&.rand=1808515774
The legs are ok, adjustable, and low shine black, but not as rigid as I wanted. Not an issue when assembled, but more just me knowing it could be better. I later found out that i could buy the cool square legs from Room and Board for $40 a piece.
Connecting the two tables together
I saw that u/tylergarner used a window sash to connect the two tables together and I was going to run with that, but I then saw this idea on the crosscut site.
http://www.crosscuthardwoods.com/tite-joint.html
I loved the idea of tite joint, but as I did not want to burrow into the table so i looked around and found this, which I installed.
http://www.wwhardware.com/epco-joint-fasteners-e0026e $15 shipped.
I bought a much longer screw from Ace HW to enable more space between the brackets so I am not screwing too close to the edge.
You may be able to go to a countertop store and buy one from them as they use them to connect countertops together.
Supporting the missing leg
I installed two of the following
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-10-in-Zinc-Plated-Mending-Plate-15390/202034036 ($3 each) I used #12 screws to mount these.
These work very well, zero sag, even after sitting on it for a few mins (155lbs).
Costs before my options (Around $800). So I saved $900 over the room and board solution. I am happy.
Options I chose to install.
Wire management - Ikea
Cheap and highly effective. $10 each, bought three.
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30200253/
Drawer to hold pens, paper and the like
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KWM8EEK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
Love it, $35 from amazon - did not find many options here. Maybe searched on the wrong terms
Power Strip
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027D3LNG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01
Lots of plugs and spaced out so no conflicts accessing them, $28 amazon
Adjustable Keyboard Tray
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B0DCOO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
$95 and a crappy 3M design, sticks about 1 inch out from the edge of the table when installed as designed. would not buy again.
How did i mount my PC underneath my desk?
I had a smaller version of the following.
http://www.storables.com/10-x-24-shelf.html
I used 1.5 inch fender washers and screws where the legs go to mount to the table, then I used cable ties to hold of the PC (intel NUC) and USB drives.
Note:
I did not use any of the screws provided in the legs, or options i selected. Maple is very hard and the philip screws they provided strip very, very, very easy. I went to my local Ace Hardware store and bought my screws. 5 min walk and could by individually versus a whole box from HD/Lowes. Saved money and frustration.
I generally got the biggest diameter screws I could get the fit the hole for the legs, and they are in there, zero issues. Ensure you drill pilot holes to avoid splitting the wood, I followed this guide for hardwood and was mostly successful http://engineershandbook.com/Tables/woodscrewpilotholes.htm
Options to lower costs

I wouldn't trust those flimsy trays on side rails. 3M makes some very sturdy adjustable key board trays which come in various sizes and have adjustable height / tilt, too. These are designed for commercial use and are much stronger.

Get an under-desk tray, something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/3M-Keyboard-Standard-Platform-Precise/dp/B001B0DCOO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1422044563&sr=8-2&keywords=keyboard+tray
It looks like a 3M adjustable keyboard tray (I might be wrong on the brand though) they are pretty expensive, I have one similar at my workplace and they are really nice to use, it's worth the investment if you are looking for better ergonomics, I'm starting the build of my next desk soon and it will include an adjustable keyboard tray like this one.
Gaming.
Keyboard too high.
