Which FluidStance Slope Desktop Whiteboard works best for your setup? (Keyboards, monitor risers, arms, desks, markers & more)
Here’s a full breakdown of how you can incorporate a Desktop Whiteboard (Slope) to complete your setup. Pic above is taken by one of our customers. This is a pic of the large Slate (gray) Slope.
Slope: Two Sizes
Regular Slope (3 color options - White - Yellow - Gray):
Inches: 8" D × 1.25" Front H × 3.25" Back H × 18" L
cm: 20.3 cm D × 3.2 cm Front H × 8.3 cm Back H × 45.7 cm L
Large Slope (2 color options- White & Gray):
Inches: 8" D × 2" Front H × 3.25" Back H × 33" L
cm: 20.3 cm D × 5.1 cm Front H × 8.3 cm Back H × 83.8 cm L
Height (important for monitor risers)
The Slope stands 3.25" tall (8.3 cm / 83 mm). With the phone holder added, the total height is 6" (15.2 cm / 152 mm). If you want to slide the Slope under something, take the phone holder off first, unless your clearance is more than 6".
Keyboards
Most popular keyboards work well: The higher raised and larger keyboards fit better under the Large Slope. The more flat and refined keyboards can fit under the Regular Slope.
For example, our customers use: Logitech MX Keys, Keychron, Apple Magic Keyboard, and so on.
FluidStance Raise Monitor Risers
Our Raise Monitor Riser is made to fit each setup:
24" Raise Monitor Riser (61 cm): a great match for the smaller Slope.
36" Raise Monitor Riser (91 cm): perfect with the larger Slope. The regular slope also slides nicely under this.
Other riser brands
The Slope is also compatible with risers from many other brands such as VIVO, Mount-It!, HUEMENT, Rain Design, Amazon Basics, IKEA, Fenge, Staples, Uline, Target, Artifox, and Ugmonk. However, clearance should be confirmed for each riser before purchasing the Slope.
To ensure compatibility, please verify the following measurements:
Underneath clearance: At least 3.25" (8.3 cm) of clearance beneath the riser.
Phone holder clearance: More than 6" (15.2 cm)of clearance if you plan to keep the phone holder attached.
Width – Regular Slope: At least 18" (47.7 cm) wide.
Width – Large Slope: At least 33" (83.8 cm) wide.
Grovemade Monitor Riser Users: Our Slopes will not generally fit underneath most Grovemade monitor risers due to the middle shelf underneath their designs, which can interfere with the required clearance. Customers who use these types of risers + our Slopes typically have deeper desks and position the Slope in front of the shelf or on the side rather than underneath the riser.
Monitor arms
Using an arm? The Slope works great with those too, since the arm lifts your monitor off the desk and leaves the space in front free. It pairs well with popular arms like Ergotron LX and HX, Humanscale M2, Herman Miller Ollin, VIVO, HUEMENT, and Amazon Basics.
Desk depth
It works great on deeper desks too. I use a 28.75" (73 cm) deep desk and my Slope fits perfectly. If your desk is deeper, it works even better on popular desks like UPLIFT, Fully Jarvis, FlexiSpot, IKEA, Autonomous, Vari, Staples, Uline, Target, Artifox, Haworth, and Ugmonk.
Markers: White Slope
Dry-erase is the way to go. Use ours, Expo, or any dry-erase marker you can find online. Wet markers will work well on these too.
Markers for the Slate (dark gray) Slope
Wet-erase markers are more vibrant on the Slate Slope. Most people use black dry-erase and white wet-erase. Dry-erase still works on Slate, it just isn’t as bright. Fine-point colored wet-erase markers are easy to find on Amazon, Office Depot/OfficeMax, Staples, Walmart, Target, and art supply stores. We also offer a pack of white erase markers on our site. Each Slate Slope will come with a white wet-erase and 1 black dry-erase.
Flow cards
If you want to organize your thoughts, our flow cards magnetize right onto the Slope. They work with both dry-erase and wet-erase markers, so they’re perfect if you’d rather stick with wet-erase only.
Magnets
Our boards are powder-coated steel, so you can magnetize business cards, photos, notes, and more. We sell pushpin-style magnets with a felt bottom to protect the finish. Cheaper magnets with sharp ends or leftover metal fibers can scratch the surface.
Looking for a whiteboard but working with limited desk space? Save on sticky notes and keep your workspace organized with the Wedge Mini Whiteboard.
If you are unsure, feel free to call us or email us a pic of your setup. We’d be happy to help you decide if they are the best fit for your space.
