CORVUS Corner Converter

CORVUS Corner Converters from ErgoVerse are designed to create a usable workspace out of tightly curved or inside right angled corners. These durable steel accessories create a diagonal bridge (either 17" or 21" wide) between the supporting surfaces, facilitating full utilization of the entire workstation. Installing a CORVUS Corner Converter gives access to an expanded work area (right, left and corner), enhancing the ergonomics of the workspace. The lip of the diagonal bridge of all CORVUS models is also predrilled to accommodate mounting of articulating keyboard arms when adapting inside corners for improved ergonomic keyboard positioning.

Originally the CORVUS Corner Converter was only available in a single model, the Large. The family has now expanded to include Small and Medium models that are designed to fit in more compact spaces while still offering the same ergonomic benefits. All models are a full 13" deep to provide support for keyboards with or without palm supports or where a central pointing device is being deployed in front of the keyboard.

The Large (CCC-L) model offers a diagonal span of 21", with an overall width of 39". It can easily accommodate a standard full-width or split adjustable keyboard while still providing sufficient space to easily deploy a traditional mouse to not just one but both sides of the keyboard. The Medium (CCC-M) has a narrower 17" diagonal bridge better suited to more compact desks or work areas. The overall surface width of this model is 35", easily wide enough to accommodate even a split keyboard with plenty of room for a mouse or notepad to one side. The Small (CCC-S) also offers a 17" diagonal bridge but with a much narrower 17" upper surface that is wide enough to accommodate a Split (with limited separation), Compact Financial, or TenKeyless keyboard. If the keyboard needs to be lower than the desk surface the Small model is an ideal way of mounting an adjustable keyboard tray.

Unlike some similar products that have odd or unusual shapes, the clean rectangular design of the CORVUS models ensures that both keyboards and mousing devices have sufficient surface area to ensure stability while being used. And for situations where a keyboard arm and tray need to be mounted, the lower lip of all CORVUS Corner Converters are pre-drilled to accommodate easy mounting of common keyboard arms.

All CORVUS Corner Converter models can be mounted to most desks up to 1.37" thick. The heavy steel plate rests firmly on the desk without sliding and is equipped with pads to protect the desk surface. It also has a peel-back adhesive strip if desired as well as additional mounting holes on the underside of the diagonal bridge so the converter can be secured by screws.

When determining which model would be suitable be sure to take into consideration what devices will be deployed presently or in the future as well as the space limitations of the workspace. If the converter is only needed to accommodate the installation of an articulating keyboard arm and tray the Small will likely suffice. If both a keyboard and mouse are to be deployed on the surface and the overall workspace or cubicle size is smaller the Medium would probably a better choice. And, if there is room on the desk and in the workspace to accommodate the 21" bridge and full 39" x 13" plate on the desk, the Large model will offer the widest range of capabilities. Note: See the Usage Tips for how to measure for appropriate fitting.

• Accommodates Most Work Surfaces: The CORVUS Corner Converter can be mounted to work surfaces up to 1.375 thick.
• Low Profile: CORVUS Corner Converters are formed from heavy gauge sheet metal that provides rigidity while maintaining a very low profile over the mounting surface.
• Compatible with Most Articulating Keyboard Arms: The front lower lip of the CORVUS Corner Converter is pre-drilled to support mounting of most common articulating keyboard arms.
• Durable and Professional: Steel construction, rounded corners, durable powder-coated finish, and protective padding on the underside all combine to make the CORVUS Corner Converters an excellent choice to enhance the ergonomics of a work space.
• Easy Installation: Installation of a CORVUS Corner Converter is simple. Just remove it from the package and slide onto the desk. In most case the weight of the CORVUS will be sufficient to keep it in place. However, for those who wish to ensure that it does not move at all it is equipped with an adhesive strip and can also be secured to the underside of the desk using the predrilled holes on the lower lip.

• When measuring for a CORVUS Corner Converter first of all measure across the diagonal to see how far this will move you back from the desk. The wider 21" (Large) model will of course move you further back from the desk. If you feel that this is too far then the 17" (Medium or Small) bridge might well be more suitable. Once you have determined the suitable bridge then measure 13" back from where the front of the diagonal bridge will be. This will show you how far the CORVUS converter will extend back onto the desk surface. The final step is to mark out the full upper width of the surface plate (39" for the Large, 35" for the Medium, and 17" for the Small"). Generally we suggest going with the largest upper surface you can accommodate so you add or change input devices without concern. However, not all desks can accommodate the full 39" width of the Large. In that case going to the Medium might be the more suitable choice. When considering the Small please ensure that your keyboard is no more than 17" in width. The reason for this is that if the keyboard is wider than this the "feet" may not be supported on the narrower surface, making typing frustrating as the keyboard may rock or skid around. The Small model is more suitable for keyboards that are no wider than 17" width or for mounting an articulating keyboard arm and tray combo.
• When considering a Corner Converter several factors should be considered.
  • First, determine if this is to provide surface area for deployment of a keyboard and/or a mouse. If this is the case you will want to ensure that the surface area is of sufficient size to provide a level surface for placement of the keyboard (at the minimum) or both the keyboard and mouse.
  • Second, if the Corner Converter is intended to be used for the mounting of a Keyboard Track and Tray you will want to ensure that the keyboard tray can extend far enough that you have practical access to both the keyboard and mouse without having to reach in under the desk top. With larger corner sleeves this is generally not an issue.
  • Third, you will want to determine whether the keyboard tray will need to be elevated level with the desk surface. This will require that the rear edge of the keyboard tray be positioned far enough out from the inside corner of the desk that the rear corners of the tray will clear the sides of the desk. This can usually be addressed by either utilizing a tray with the rear corners cut at a diagonal or by selecting a wider corner sleeve which will move the mounting point for the keyboard track further out from the inside corner. Doing this creates a wider space for the keyboard tray.
• If you are concerned that gravity itself will not keep the CORVUS secured in position you may wish to utilize either the pre-attached adhesive strip or the pre-drilled screw holes. If using the adhesive strip, first peel off the backing and then carefully place the corner converter into position, keeping the upper surface from making contact until it is positioned where you want to have it placed. Then simply press down on the surface to activate the adhesive. If you would rather not use the adhesive simply leave the backing in place and place the CORVUS into position. Then, using appropriate length screws, secure the converter to the underside of the desk using the holes in the corners of the lower lip.
