" ... Although the Kensington keyboard tray is indeed 26" wide, you need a space of more like 30" wide because of the "L" brackets and the way the instructions have you install them "outward" . ... It's nice and sturdy (there are pictures with a natural keyboard and a standard keyboard.) ... If I didn't use the 3rd row of screw holes, the center of the natural keyboard hits the underside of the desktop . ... "
