How do you use your keyboard on your lap? in c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

I need a more commute-friendly solution, but that’s an interesting approach nonetheless. Thank you for sharing!

I wouldn't have bet a dime on the stability of those things. That's great! I was planning to join the magfrotto gang using the z-tripods, but I might as well opt for these ones instead if they can really be used like that.

Super interesting setup you have there! And thank you for bringing back to my attention the btrfld, I had forgotten about it. Far too many keys for me, but that's a design idea I should look into if I'll ever try to design my own keyboard.

How do you use your keyboard on your lap? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm quite tall and have rather long arms. As a consequence, I rarely find myself sitting at the desk with the elbows bent at a proper angle while typing. I figured out it would be more comfortable for me to work with the keyboard sitting on my lap, tented if possible, but I couldn't find a stable configuration with my split 34-keys board. Is there anybody that came up with a smart solution to this?

I'm also considering building a small unibody like the hummingbird, but I guess it may be too small to comfortably sit on the lap.
