The number of times I have hurt my knees on useless keyboard trays hidden under desks is uncountable. Not that many, I just haven't kept track. More than twice.

The mouse and keyboard should be at the same height, or the mouse a tiny bit lower, if the keyboard can be raised a bit as per my laptop stand. This is how it should be for gaming and typing. Maybe your lanky arms make this less of an issue, but for me the devices need to be close.

I am tall. I usually can't sit with my legs under the desk if there is a keyboard tray, and it puts the keyboard and mouse too low for comfort. As a taller than average man, every surface is about 5 inches too low. I get a lot of upper-back problems.

Pseudo is 6'-5" or 6'-6". He should be complaining right along with us.

*COUGH* knuckles under a prized dollar. Who'd you take to town with the brass Clam? If you're for hire, pm me.

I'm linking these instead of putting them in the post because I haven't bothered to downsize them and Chris would ban me for breaking his precious forum.

I like the picture of your cat a lot.

My neighbor's little kid. He doesn't play in my tree anymore.

How old is that tree in Sicily, btw? I saw some trees in China from the 4th Century AD, but this was before I was into photography, sadly enough.

6'6", but this desk is MASSIVE. I could fit children in the drawers. not that I've tried

I am tempted to add a bit for the mouse on the same level as the keyboard tray though (I've got some spare bits of desk that I didn't use, for "fitting the computer in to it's computer hole" reasons, and one is a perfect 'mouse tray' size) - it's not uncomfortable, unless I lean back. But I like leaning back, I've got a swingy chair and everythin'

I may also just try Clam's layout, because that could work.

(of course if my keyboard wasn't about 8x wider than a normal keyboard, I could just put the mouse next to it)

It should be fine, the forum will downsize them.

Oh, they're that big. OK yeah, they will be resized if they're under that size, down to 800px wide.
