I have a stand desk and this stepper, so I gave it a try: It's not bad. The stepper raises you higher-- up 4 3/4" at the low end (when one petal is fully down) and 7 1/4" at the high end (when both petals are even), so your stand desk needs to accommodate that. Mine barely does; the keyboard position is the main issue; I raised it 5", but it's still a little lower than I would like. Raising it 7" is about right (I put a pad under it). There's about a 2.5" bob up and down when I step, but it seems reasonable-- at least for 10 minutes worth of stepping. The mouse harder to work with than the keyboard. --- Great idea, you should patent it! W. I have a stand desk and this stepper, so I gave it a try: It's not bad.

I have. Yes, it worked ok ... I found I tended to move slowly on it because it's a pretty bouncy movement for typing, but at least you're moving a bit. I tended to use it when I was reading.

Yes because the foot pads are level. I think it would work well. With another mini-stepper I had, the foot pads were at a maybe 30 degree angle that thrust you forward & you had to fight it to keep from falling forward. Since this one offers a much better balance, you can concentrate on your work at the computer rather than trying to stay upright. In my opinion..........

Should work fine as long as you have your monitor at the right height or angle. I find it great for laptop or tablet use. May need a mouse pad depending on size of keyboard...some bumps on back half of top surface. The bumps keep things from sliding and also allow for ventilation on a laptop sitting on a rubber like surface.

Yes! This will work with your computer opened or closed. I have this stashed beneath my desk in my office, and I use dual 24" monitors and a wireless keyboard and mouse. I keep speakers plugged into the docking station, too.

I use it on PC but as long as the computer has an USB port it should work with no problem.

I use this mouse with a laptop. Never tried it with a desk top. I would assume it did. It works great

Divermartin, did you end up purchasing this for your standing desk? Did you find that you could use it with the desk or was it too intense a workout to use at a desk?

Louise, I would like to use the Xiser with a standing desk as well. Did you purchase it? Did you find that you could use it with a standing desk?

Its great for lap tops & ipads. Desk top computer would be too heavy for stand.

I don't think so. There are desk for people who want to stand and work on their PC.

I am actually using it as a standing desk with my computer on my sitting desk level. That said, I think if you either mounted the screen(a) the way they show it in the picture or have it against a wall so you can push your monitor (or iMAC) back as far as you can, it works just fine. I love mine!

I don't know. I use it as a standing desk, by mounting it on top of a regular desk. However it is really adjustable so I'm sure it would work.

I use this with 2 monitors on the Varidesk and my laptop docked on my stationary desk. I had to get one longer monitor cable to reach the monitor on the far side. I don't use the laptop monitor while standing. I really love this desk, fwiw..

Yes, in concept. In reality, might be a bit crowded on the platform; I use a notebook/laptop and works great. You would want to clamp or secure the monitor so it doesn't topple off. And would need to be a smaller keyboard probably.

I have not used it as a standing station, but it certainly could be. Just be aware that if you're using a mouse, it has to be on one of the open flaps, it won't fit along with your laptop in the center section. So if you wanted to use it with the flaps closed, you couldn't use a mouse.

Hi, my wife bought this chair for her office and she uses it with a little lap table for her laptop. I guess it can work the same way with a wireless keyboard. If you are working on a desk , it will work if the desk is high enough to allow the arm rests to go under.Hope the answer helps.

How tall is your desk? I use this and mine is not tall enough to stand and work because my desk is about 34" tall. If your desk is taller theyou could probably get my with standing.
