An apparatus for holding a computer keyboard and mouse adjacent a table or similar structure is disclosed. The apparatus includes a mounting bracket and three rail brackets, two rail guides secured to the brackets, a keyboard drawer, and a mouse tray. The brackets are securable beneath the table. One of the rail guides is secured to the mounting bracket and to one of the rail brackets while the other rail guide is secured between two rail brackets. The keyboard drawer includes a rail on each side slidably coupleable to the rail guides. One of the rails also includes a gear rack attached along at least a portion thereof The rail has a forward portion and a rearward portion with the rack preferably attached to the forward portion. The mouse tray is pivotally coupled to the mounting bracket and includes a gear engageable with the rack. The mouse tray also includes a shoulder adjacent the gear. The shoulder includes a flat portion slidably engageable with a rearward portion of the rail to prohibit rotation of the tray along the rearward portion of the rail. The shoulder is non-rotatably attached to the mouse tray.
