Can I tilt the keyboard somewhat making it easier to type?

I actually use it for my desktop keyboard. And a mini desk with mouse and pens pencils . So I can't answer your question.

Both cushions are the same thickness, so about the only way to tilt it would be to raise your knees.

The bottom of the lap desk has two cushions that run from left to right; the one toward the rear is a bit larger than the one in front, giving a bit of a tilt to the top surface. It's only adjustable to the extent that you can squish the beads around in the cushions. However I find it provides a comfortable angle when the desk is used on my lap. On a table, not so much. I also recommend that you get some non-skid drawer liner from a hardware store and stick it to the top so your laptop won't slide around. Since I have a wide computer (17' MacBook Pro), I removed the spring clip on the left as well. For the price, this is a very useful and comfortable product. I recommend it.

They Are soft keys but after using it for a little while I realized it was more in the way because I didn't type as much as I thought I was going too

Not that I can find on the keyboard. That would likely be a software option on whatever you are using it on.

Unfortunately, no, not really. The bars that are supposed to support the underside of the keyboard are too long to fit in the grooves, so that you either have the keyboard wanting to flip over away from you, or flip over towards you. I am likely exaggerating how unbalanced it is, but nevertheless, with its tendency to slide on the stand, it can become a real issue.

The keyboard can be tilted to two different heights. There are two different tabs, a shorter tab that can be flipped out on each side for a short tilt, and a longer tab on each side that can be flipped out for a higher tilt.

You can adjust the angle on the keyboard and it has a stop at the back to keep the keyboard from skidding off. I put a wrist support also to keep my shoulders relaxed.

Hi Laura. I just sold my Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboard on eBay last month because of my unhappiness with the key action. Yes, it is a long throw and quite unsatisfying. It isn't tactile at all and I expect more from Kinesis than this. To specifically answer your question, there is no way that I'm aware of to shorten the keystroke. I wish there was!

Well, yes...sort of. The tilt would depend how you position it on your lap, of course -- you could use a small pillow to increase the tilt or incline. But your best bet might be to place the Kindle in a Kindle stand, and then put it on top of the lapdesk.

Can you just turn it around so the curve is in the same place as your keyboard curve? Can anyone try that and let me know how it works?

Yep. I just prop my arms up with pillows so that i can type relaxed. But if u are referring to an 'attached' keyboard then that would be connected by bluetooth so you would have to just prop the keyboard up with pillows till comfy with yr arms rested. Hope I have interpreted the question correctly.

Not a problem. It's pretty well centered vs. the "letters (QWERTY)" keyboard, once you account for the numbers-only keyboard on the right. I got used to it right away and had forgotten about it til you asked this question.

I haven't tried that---hopefully someone will and share their results. In the meantime, it's worth noting that purchasing an adjustable bench can help you achieve a comfortable keyboard height relative to your seat height. At least this is how I managw, because the minimum height of this keyboard-stand is far too high for any other chair in my room.

Yes, you can adjust the multiple joints to make the keyboard different heights and different angles.

might be a little awkward, but I suppose you could do some light typing once you got used to it.

Good Day, This particular Balt Beta Cart only has the tilt option for the key board tray. Thank you

Yes is quite loose, but after a while you'll get used to it, i've noticed that my typing has to be more slow and steady than before in order not to move it

Look at the keyboard very closely. If all the keys are in the right place you should be ok. They only have a couple of options.
