Does is lock to hold it in place while typing?

It does not lock in place, however the way it is designed, when you pull it out to type, it stays in place nicely. It doesn't drift back in like some I've seen.

Yes. In fact, After I bought it and was using it, I thought I broke it. It is attached to the case by magnets. I did not know this and when it came loose, I thought I had broken it. But it just snaps right back in place. Some times I use the case because it has a built in stand, and just detatch the keyboard so I can sit back.

It has a hold feature on it, that keeps you from accidentally changing any of the settings. If that's not what you need to know, describe what you mean by "lock" and I'll try again to answer your question.

I type on my laptop frequently when it is on the stand. I do usually check the tilt knob to make sure it is tight, but its been several months now without a mishap.

No, also, it sticks REALLY bad. I have to like stab my #4 just for it to /maybe/ read it. And if you type fast? Forget it.

Unfortunately there is no lock for the swivel on the base. That's actually the reason I switched to the non swivel version. It shouldn't swivel while typing but it will swivel if the stand is bumped at all. Even a gentle bump will cause it to swivel a little.

The keyboard does lock somewhat, however, not completely. If you are looking for a feel of a full size keyboard, this item cannot provide the same feel.

Yes, to an extent...I typed this response with no extra support. You can tap fine but it does jiggle as you type on it. If you want no movement whatsoever, look elsewhere.

I could type a little slower with it on, but it was awkward when it was on the right hand. When it was on my left hand it was no problem as I used my right thumb for the space bar. Hope this helps.

Yes it locks in place very well. With mine it had a slight error where twice it locked a little too well and wouldn't shut.

As far as actually locking no. it does have a built in detent that will hold it in either position.

Yes the keyboard is held in place using magnets. the Clips that hold the four corners of the tablet have enough thickness and also the wrist rest is also raised enough to prevent keys hitting the screen. It is generally recommended to use screen protectors on touch screen tablets for protection from finger prints as well.

They do lock slightly when extended fully in or out. But nothing in between. However the rollers are not loose to where it just slides around. I have never head issues with the tray moving when i type at whatever amount it is extended out. :-) I am happy with it.

No, it does not lock in place. You can rig it by drilling a hole through the mounting block and inserting a screw.

I don't notice the space key being sticky, but I will say that I hate the cap lock on this, the num lock and cap lock are on the upper left and I am always turning the cap lock on and off. I don't know if it's on until I start to type. I do admit, I am a crappy typist so maybe someone who actually knows how to type properly may not find it an issue. If I'd known I was going to type so much I would have learned the right way! I mainly love the keyboard for the light color, since black keyboards with white lettering kill my eyes.Hope this helps!

This keyboard does not lock in the open state. However, it does have the solid bottom piece under the keyboard. Therefore, if the underlying section (the width of it folded in half) is supported than you can type with it. But putting it between your legs, for example if you are on the couch or a recliner...it will fold up if the gap between your legs is wider than the bottom.

In the horizontal position it is capable of doing that. You can type using the keyboard as well. In the vertical position I use my stylus to navigate all the time. I hope that this is a help to you.I am still very happy with this product.
