CEPHEUS Compact Desktop Sit-Stand Retrofit

When a compact cost-effective sit-stand solution is needed, the CEPHEUS Compact Desktop Sit-Stand Retrofit from ErgoVerse is a perfect solution. Featuring an adjustment range equal to or greater than many higher priced solutions, the CEPHEUS seamlessly combines functionality with affordability.

This compact desktop retrofit can elevate the keyboard to any point from 0.75" to 15.75" above the mounting surface. The upper work surface is positioned 4.75" above the keyboard tray and moves in concert with it. At 25.5" in width and 11.625" in depth, the keyboard tray offers sufficient space for most common keyboard and mousing device configurations, even central pointing devices. At 31.5", the upper work surface is wide enough to accommodate dual monitors (as long as their combined base width doesn't exceed the width of the top).

A unique feature of the CEPHEUS is the shallow 17.5" base footprint lets it be used on on desks as shallow as 18". Since the CEPHEUS is under 24" in depth it is also possible to position it on a 24" deep desk without having the keyboard extending past the front of the desk. And because the CEPHEUS uses an x-style lifting mechanism the keyboard and work surfaces move straight up and down, rather than cantilevering out from the desk and forcing users to step back when moving to a standing position. This means it can be more easily deployed in locations where space is limited. Because the keyboard extends forward by 6" it is still possible to achieve an appropriate monitor viewing distance despite the shallow footprint.

The gas cylinder mechanism provides a counter force up to 33 pounds, reducing the force users need to exert height adjustment. The single paddle release also enables users to easily position the CEPHEUS at any height within its 15.5" range.

Product Features


  • Free Standing (No Drilling or Clamping Required)
    The CEPHEUS is a perfect solution where a temporary or low cost sit-stand workstation is desired. Because it is freestanding there is no requirement to mar or modify the mounting surface. The CEPHEUS simply lifts from the box, the keyboard tray is attached and the unit is ready to use within 5 minutes. The weight of the unit combines with grip pads to keep the unit securely in place.
  • Supports Large Monitors
    While the CEPHEUS may not be wide enough to support dual monitor application it can easily accommodate larger single monitors. The overall lifting capacity of 33 pounds will easily accommodate the weight of new larger lightweight monitors. Of course, if the combined base width of existing dual monitors doesn’t exceed the 31.5" width of the top it can also support dual monitors. Should a wider surface be required the CASSIOPEIA DSS-36 model with its 35" wide surface should be considered.
  • Gas Cylinder Mechanism
    The CEPHEUS uses a single gas cylinder to provide assistance when adjusting the worksurface and keyboard tray height. Gas springs generally provide smoother movement than traditional coil spring mechanisms and are quite dependable and durable over time.
  • X-Style Vertical Motion
    Many retrofit desktop units have a cantilevering mechanism that moves the worksurface forward as it is raised. This motion pushes the user back from the desk and may be a problem where space is limited or when worksurface objects are not properly attached to the worksurface. The CEPHEUS uses a simple side-action X-Style mechanism that moves the worksurface straight up vertically. Because the motion is from left to right the CEPHEUS is able to maintain a shallower footprint than many other solutions - making it ideal for use with shallow desks or where space is limited.
  • Infinite Height Settings
    The CEPHEUS offers users the freedom to adjust the keyboard/work surface heights to any point within the overall 15" range, permitting a high degree of personalization for comfort purposes.
  • Compact Design
    The CEPEHUS has a footprint of just 17.5" in depth and 31.5" in width. This means it can be placed on surfaces as shallow as 18" without encroaching on space. Because it rises straight up it takes no more space when raised than it does when at the seated position.
  • Truly USEABLE Keyboard Depth and Width
    No scrimping here. The keyboard tray on the CEPHEUS is 25.5" wide and 11.625" deep, enough to accommodate most keyboard/mousing solutions - even central pointing devices - unlike many solutions that have trays as shallow as 9".
  • Minimal Assembly Required
    It only takes about 5 - 10 minutes to assemble the CEPHEUS to get it in ready-to-use condition.
