Desk Converters

Desk Converters and Laptop Risers

A desk converter turns a fixed desk into a sit-stand workstation without replacing the desk. It sits on the worktop and lifts your keyboard, and your screen or laptop, to standing height.

Ergox stocks a manual desk converter and a compact keyboard and laptop riser. Both use a squeeze handle and fold down to a slim profile when you sit.

How to Choose

1. Check the platform size

The platform has to hold your keyboard plus the screen or laptop you work from. Measure what will sit on it, and check that the converter fits your desk.

2. Confirm the height range

A converter needs enough lift to reach a comfortable standing height for you. If you are tall, check the maximum height before ordering.

3. Decide whether the screen needs to rise too

The desk converter has room for a keyboard and a screen or laptop. The keyboard and laptop riser suits laptop-only work, or a keyboard paired with a monitor arm that holds the screen. The keyboard tray range covers clamp-on trays if you would rather fix the tray to the desk.
