IKEA Galant desks

IKEA

Galant model desks can be personalized with a selection of four surfaces veneers, tabletop shapes and sizes, tabletop extensions, and leg styles. We recommend either the height adjustable "A" legs or the height adjustable "T" legs. The "A" legs with casters are not height adjustable and result in a worksurface that is much too high for safe computer work.

More details on table options and prices available ...here (PDF file).
Prices range from $100 and up, depending on the configurations selected.

Keyboard trays:

The thickness of the work surface may place the keyboard and mouse too high for some people even when the work surface is adjusted as low as possible. A keyboard tray is needed if an individual has no clearance between the forearm and the thigh.

The keyboard tray should hold the mouse and keyboard at the same height, that is, it must be at least 26" long, see the 5G500 model shown below, or the keyboard tray must have a separate mouse platform just above the number keys, as the 5G941RG below.

Mouse Bridges:

If the ErgoView straight tray or adjustable table is used, a mouse bridge is suggested to bring the mouse in front of the user’s body. The bridge rests over the number pad and slides off the side if the numbers are in use.

Lapboard:

An alternative to using a keyboard tray, the lapboard is a wood platform with a corduroy covered "beanbag" underneath to hold the keyboard comfortably and securely on the lap. A mouse platform is available as either side-mounted or top-mounted with adjustable tilt. The lapboard is a good option when the worksurface does not allow mounting a keyboard tray.
