1. A desktop workspace that adjusts vertically, comprising:
a work surface platform;
a keyboard platform that protrudes out, down, and parallel to the work surface platform;
a base configured to sit on an existing platform;
a height adjustment mechanism connecting the work surface platform and the base, the height adjustment mechanism including:
a set of scissoring arms including a first arm rotatably connected to the base, a second arm rotatably connected to the work surface platform, a third arm rotatably connected to the base, and an element that connects the first arm to the third arm, the first arm and the second arm connecting at a scissoring pivot point creating a scissoring motion when raising and lowering the work surface platform to various heights;
a first sliding mechanism on an end of the second arm between the end of the second arm and the base; and
a second sliding mechanism on an end of the first arm between the end of the first arm and the work surface platform; and
a gas spring attached to the height adjustment mechanism to provide a force to assist in elevation of the work surface platform,
wherein the gas spring is attached to the element, and
wherein the gas spring acts as a locking device that holds the work surface platform at various heights above the base.
