Ergotron Deep Keyboard Tray for WorkFit
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ergotron Deep Keyboard Tray for WorkFit (97-897) - Local Warranty
A Larger 27 x 11 Inch One-Piece Keyboard Surface
The Ergotron Deep Keyboard Tray (97-897) upgrades a WorkFit-S or WorkFit-A workstation with a larger, extra-deep one-piece keyboard tray measuring 27 x 11 in (68.5 x 27.9 cm). Compared with the standard 27 x 9.75 in WorkFit-A tray, the extra depth is what lets a full-size keyboard and a mouse sit side by side comfortably instead of competing for the same surface.
One Continuous Surface — No Separate Mouse Tray
Because the tray is a single moulded piece rather than a keyboard tray with a bolt-on mouse platform, the mouse can sit anywhere along its 27-inch width. Left-handed and right-handed users share the same workstation without reconfiguring anything, which matters in the hot-desked and shift-based environments common across Singapore offices and clinical settings.
Install Centred, Offset, or 4.4 Inches Further Out
The tray mounts centred or offset left and right, and on WorkFit-S workstations it can be positioned up to 4.4 in (11.2 cm) further out from the column. That install-time flexibility lets you tune the reach distance to the individual user or to the depth of the desk the WorkFit sits on.
Set Expectations Correctly: the Motion Comes from the WorkFit
This is an important point that many listings get wrong. The 97-897 is a fixed one-piece tray with no tilt mechanism, no independent height adjustment and no pivot of its own. All the ergonomic sit-stand motion comes from the WorkFit workstation it mounts to. Its load rating is under 5 lb (2.3 kg). SourceIT describes it accurately so you specify it for the right reason — surface area, not extra adjustment.

Specification note: Ergotron's dimensional drawing and installation guide for this tray are titled “Keyboard Tray for WorkFit-A and WorkFit-S” and do not print the 97-897 SKU on the document itself. Material, finish, product weight and the full WorkFit-A model compatibility list are not published by Ergotron and are therefore omitted here. Contact SourceIT to confirm fit against your specific WorkFit model before ordering.
Compatibility & Fit
Host workstation fit. Ergotron states the tray fits WorkFit-S and WorkFit-A workstations. It is a replacement keyboard surface for those systems, not a standalone tray and not a universal under-desk tray. Ergotron does not publish an exhaustive WorkFit-A model list, so send SourceIT your WorkFit part number and we will confirm fit before you order.
Keyboard and mouse fit. At 27 x 11 in (68.5 x 27.9 cm) with 9.6 in (24.4 cm) of usable inner depth, the tray takes a full-size keyboard with numeric keypad plus a mouse on the same continuous surface. There is no separate mouse platform and no left/right swap to configure — the single surface serves either hand.
Weight limit. Under 5 lb (2.3 kg). That is ample for a keyboard and mouse but is not a shelf: do not rest a laptop, tablet or documents on it.
Motion — be clear on this before specifying. The tray itself does not tilt, does not adjust in height independently, and does not pivot. It is a fixed one-piece surface. Every bit of sit-stand and negative-tilt ergonomics comes from the WorkFit workstation underneath it. Specify this tray when you need more surface area, not when you need more adjustment.
Install-time positioning. The tray mounts centred or offset left and right on both host families, and on WorkFit-S it can additionally be set up to 4.4 in (11.2 cm) further out from the column. These are installation choices set with a 3 mm hex key, not adjustments a user makes during the day.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ergotron Deep Keyboard Tray for WorkFit
What size is the tray, and how is it different from the standard WorkFit tray?
It measures 27 x 11 in (68.5 x 27.9 cm) with 9.6 in (24.4 cm) of usable inner depth. Ergotron's standard WorkFit-A tray is 27 x 9.75 in, so this is the “deep” variant — the extra depth is what lets a full-size keyboard and a mouse sit side by side without crowding.
Does the tray tilt or adjust in height?
No. The 97-897 is a fixed one-piece tray with no tilt, no independent height adjustment and no pivot. All the ergonomic motion — sit-stand height and negative tilt — comes from the WorkFit workstation it mounts to. Some listings elsewhere claim multi-angle and height settings for this part; that is incorrect, and we would rather you knew before ordering.
Which WorkFit models does it fit?
Ergotron states WorkFit-S and WorkFit-A workstations. Ergotron does not publish a complete model-by-model list, so send SourceIT your WorkFit part number and we will confirm compatibility before you order.
Is there a separate mouse tray, and can I swap it to the left?
There is no separate mouse tray. The 97-897 is a single continuous 27-inch surface, so the mouse can sit on either side. Left-handed and right-handed users share the workstation with nothing to reconfigure.
How much weight can it hold?
Under 5 lb (2.3 kg), per Ergotron's dimensional drawing and installation guide. That covers a keyboard and mouse. It is not intended as a shelf for a laptop, tablet or paperwork.
Should I choose the deep tray or the corner tray?
Choose the Deep Keyboard Tray (97-897) for a straight desk run where you simply want a bigger keyboard and mouse surface. Choose the Corner Keyboard Tray (97-898) if the WorkFit sits in the bend of an L-shaped desk — its clipped 135° corners let the tray drop into the corner without fouling the worksurface. Both are 27 x 11 in overall and both are fixed trays rated under 5 lb.
Does the Deep Keyboard Tray for WorkFit come with a Singapore warranty?
Yes. Every Ergotron Deep Keyboard Tray for WorkFit sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; Ergotron does not publish a specific manufacturer warranty term for the Deep Keyboard Tray for WorkFit on its datasheet, so please contact SourceIT to confirm the current term before you order.
