I want to use both a keyboard and a mouse on my lap -- it has to rest on the lap, not chair arms. Pillow types are too thick. Would this work?

I'm using my laptop and mouse right now on my lap desk. Plenty of room. The lap desk sits on the arms of my chair but when I sit in a chair with no arms, the lap desk sits on my lap.

Hmmm, assuming your aim is to keep the computer on the lapdesk, this is going to depend on your chair. It would have to be deep from front to back or with the arm height for you to pull it off. The lap desk is super simple and thin and you can work in many situations. Currently I am using it in the tub (though not advisable because it's not water proof). I think it's worth getting to see what you need to do to make it work, but it alone will not be the solution, it will have to work in partnership with your chair ergonomics.I think I understand the question better now. I use it directly on my lap on my bed and fit two laptop computers on it so that's plenty of room for a mouse and keyboard.

I have used both a keyboard and a mouse on this desk before, and it seems to work fine.

Yes it will. I purchased this to use for my 17 inch gaming laptop and my gaming mouse which is larger than a standard mouse and while I did need to purchase two of these to make it thick enough to sustain the weight of my set up, the actual surface size is perfect to accommodate my laptop, which rests on a laptop fan which then rests on top of the lap desk surface with the mousepad with mouse on top resting beside.

I frequently use mine with laptop and mouse on my lap and not resting on a chair. It's reasonably sturdy and I believe would meet your need. I am very pleased with this product.

Maybe, if you plan to use a small mouse, but it won't be really comfortable (the surface is not flat because of the touchpad and the buttons). On the other hand, the lapdesk is well made and feels solid.

my computer has a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. It is convenient for me to move it. I hope it is helpful.

The ergo rest is very adjustable. I believe it can accommodate a wide range of arm-lengths. I use it with my Wacom tablets, however, I imagine it could support any sort of mouse or keyboard use. It attaches to a table or desk, so the height or adjust-ability of your chair is key. I hope this answer helps.

Too flimsy for a lap unless you use a lapdesk...you know the kind thats a pillow with a flat hard surface...

I have a keyboard stand & a wireless mouse so I don't use the desk pad with my mouse. I did try it for you and it seems ok.

As long as you can situate it comfortably for yourself, on your lap works fine. I used mine primarily at school for taking notes. Keyboard folds back easily, just make sure the keyboard is turned off, otherwise you start accidentally typing in places

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.

I use the work station just for my wireless keyboard. The keyboard is pretty long so there isn't really room for the mouse next to it, but there's room for the mouse right in front of it along with a bottle of water or cup of hot chocolate. I realize that wouldn't work with a laptop though. Either way it's tight, but depending on the size of your keyboard, it's possible.

Yes. If you have a wide laptop (such as a 17" screen) space for a mouse might be limited. Otherwise, it will accommodate a laptop and mouse. Hope this helps.

I think it might be possible to have the monitor and keyboard on the desk at once. The desk is 12" deep and plenty wide, and the design is such that it could support a fairly heavy monitor without tipping. However, with a standard keyboard, there won't be much room on the sides for a mouse. Someone makes an extension, I believe, that snaps into the sides to make the desk twice as wide, so you might want to look into that.

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.

I use the keyboard on my lap, I have not had any problems. There is a little "grove" for the feet to fit into. If the angle was to great, maybe the feet would slip out.

I doubt it, but the material is a little coarser and thicker than the iMak wrist rest material, so that might help. You might consider trying some double-sided tape on your keyboard if you need to hold the wrist rest in place.

I use my laptop desk all of the time with these; however, it rests on my lap. The arms are not too high though and you should be fine.

This is more like a chair, I wouldn't use it for sleeping, unless you want to sleep more upright. I use it with my laptop.

Should be ok, but it only works like a keyboard / mouse. My suggestion is that you can find some other similar ones that are a half size smaller than this one. This keyboard is too big; I cannot hold it in just one hand. My friend has a smaller one, she can type the keyboard and move the pointer around with one hand. Very convenient.
