I have a widescreen monitor, but not enough desk space for this pad. Would I be able to let it stick out over the edge of the desk and still be usable, or will it bend?

The pad would work just fine. If the corner of the desk is really sharp it may leave a little bit of a crease but I don't think it is a big problem. My desk has a shark corner and I sometimes cover it with the pad.

No. This mouse pad is just a sheet of fabric. It will bend if not supported, and won't work well on an uneven surface.

I'd say not, it seems designed to clamp to the back edge of a desk, not for overhead use. The desk should be rather robust as well; I clamped it to the edge of a plastic foldable and the weight of the arm + monitors bent the table and wilted the whole arrangement.

It is not that strong. I think if you bent over, it could break. It works great as a stand for it on the desk. Hope that helps.

Before I purchased this monitor, I read a couple of reviews that said the stand was stiff and required a little extra force to move. I found this to be the case with my monitor as well. I suspect it may designed that way...so the monitor holds its position at whatever viewing angle you choose.

My desk is only 20" deep so the Varidesk hangs over a bit on the front and the back. The design of the Varidesk works just fine with its weight evenly distributed. My desk, which is a "put together yourself" type supports the weight of my two monitors, keyboard and mouse just fine.

The desk is largely a high-impact plastic. I would be hesitant to drill any holes in the desk. Really though, the balance on this is so superb, anti-slip surface effective, and the glide up and down so smooth, I can't imagine my 24" display falling off, unless your desk is inside a private jet or tour bus. I do have a foam back desk mat underneath, only because I had that left over from before acquiring the VariDesk.

Thats about how much is actually clamped onto my desk too, just make sure you use tools to tighten the clamp, I should also note, I modified the arms on mine to go 3 wide, on a 6x6 monitor system

Hello Aaron, I've had mine for a couple of months now. It 'works' but not as I had hoped it would. If you use the number pad a lot then no! I thought this would be bendable so I could curve it around my Fellowes Microban split keyboard but it is rigid. The image shows a curve in the design, but, it is not as curved as it looks. I do wish it was more flexible. If I could I would have found the kind with the pellets in it so I could shape it exactly to fit.

It is thin, but it is fairly rigid. I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you planning to have it extend beyond the desk over open space to the wall? If so, how far? If you are talking an inch or so, it would probably work.

Great question. I actually literally chose to break it off because, with my set-up, I needed to use the ARM SUPPORT part as my mouse pad! So yes, you can just break it off without damaging the rest of the item. My guess is you'll need to do your own individualized refinements when setting this up on your desk, but it IS a unique item and, with some work, it did accomplish a goal for me that I couldn't have achieved without it.

I'm afraid the bottom portion of the desk would stick out from your work surface about 3 or 4 inches which is unfortunate because this really is an awesome desk. It is also on the wide side but if I had a wider desk I would love to have the wider one. Meanwhile this works great.

Does the monitor have a base that is smaller than 27 inches? The rear of the work area platform is tapered, so if the monitor is free-standing along its entire width, then I would be concerned about stability. If the monitor has a base and is supported by on a stand it should be okay. You might want some sticky rubber pads to keep the base from sliding around on the work surface though.

I think it would do a good job. Although I use it on my desk, I can imagine that the fact that it "overhangs" slightly would be exactly what you're looking for. And if you don't like it, you can always return it.

It might not be able to fit the monitor, depending on how thick it is. What are its dimensions? Everything else should fit, no problem.

I have a monitor stand clipped to the side. There's a lip there and it clamps fine. The back and front have more room to clamp as there is nothing blocking it. So, yes.

I use mine on the computer desk made of tempered glass. That being said I had a piece of plywood cut and placed where the clamp would go and it works great. I know that's not exactly what you asked but it's how I've circumvented that problem. By the way I have a heavy 27 inch touch screen monitor and this device holds it like a champ with no drilling at all.

I wouldn't recommend it! I don't think the hardware is sturdy enough to act as a pedestal sitting upright with the weight of a monitor. It was definitely designed to hang from something. I have a larger 22" monitor that I mounted to my desk using a different mount from a company called Mount-it that I purchased through Amazon. Here is the link to that product and it works very well mounting to a desk or any other flat surface. Mount-It!
