The controller mounts directly under the desktop and allows you to manually position the desk using the up and down buttons with 1/10th inch increments. You can store up to four heights in separate buttons which is really nice and very easy to setup.
I love to show this unit off to people coming over. I was a little surprised at the weight of the legs being so beefy but was really glad it is so robust after attaching it to my 7 foot long solid wood desktop that weighs just under 100 pounds. I wanted to combine a high quality desk top to match the high quality of these legs. I got an unfinished 8 ft. kitchen counter-top made of american walnut solid wood made in butcher block design from my local lumber liquidators and cut it down to a seven foot length. I love the look of the finished wood which is like a piece of art work in the office and motivates me to keep the desktop clean. This makes my wife happy since the desktop was a premium upgrade. These legs can support over 300 pounds so adding my large 4K monitor using a customized clamp mount. Love the ability to store 4 settings. I am 6'1" tall so the extra high settings of this model compared to their standard version made this product perfect all around for me. Highly recommend.
I wanted to use a keyboard shelf to keep the desktop clean. 14" Keyboard Slide -Heavy Duty Steel Construction Very pleased with this purchase! but specifically was looking for a product that would fit my Evoluent vertical mouse and this keyboard slide worked out perfect! The high quality construction, the very smooth ball bearing operation of the slides and the firm locking action for both the open and close positions of the keyboard drawer exceeded my expectations. I used this large mouse pad to cover the entire drawer to give it a consistent look and a great workable mouse surface. PECHAM Extended Gaming Mouse Pad - Non-Slip Water-Resistant Rubber Base Cloth Computer Mouse Mat, 30.71x11.81-Inch 3mm Thick XX-Large - Black The keyboard shelf itself was standard plywood but then finished it off with a matching front facing of walnut wood strip to match the butcher block desktop.
