How do you use your keyboard on your lap? - LemmyWorld

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.

I’m using a non-ergo keyboard, but to note I still use this setup on the lap: reddit.com/…/raised_tablet_setup_weight_compariso…

Someday want to switch to a monoblock ergo keyboard.

You may want to consider the folding tentable keyboard design btrfld: reddit.com/…/v2_of_the_btrfld_a_foldable_low_prof… -> reddit.com/…/v2_of_the_btrfld_a_foldable_low_prof…

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.
