How sturdy is the gooseneck? How much movement when you press the Home button or tap on the screen? (Deciding between the HoverBar by TwelveSouth.)

Its very sturdy. I use it to play guitar live and it hold in place nice. some tabs i have to quickly tap/scroll and i've hit it with a good solid tap/slide and it stays in place. have it hooked to my camping chair :)

Very stable. Ours hangs from the bed headboard and it doesn't really bounce at all when you tap. It is probably most resistant to movement when you have it in a bind. For example, if you crane the neck to where it is under the most tension on one side/compression on the other, it doesn't move as much as if you had the neck perfectly straight. This is true for most things in general though, so I suppose it depends on what orientation you are looking for. That said, it's minimal bounce is perfectly acceptable in any position as a means to swipe and tap around the iPad; I probably wouldn't want to write a novel on it like that though. Very stable.

Not sturdy at all! Unfortunately light i Pad is making it twist and fall down. Clamp part is not too reliable the sticky foam buffer part is being pushed off. I cant't use it on my bed it's impossible. best way to use it on i Mac as an arm. Twelve South looks more reliable but even for my taotronics $50 is way too much...best price for it no more $30.

Ours is pretty stable. Some bounce, but not a lot. We use it in the kitchen for recipe display, mostly, so there's more swipe than tap, and we have it mounted about 15 degrees off vertical in landscape orientation. I don't know about extended keyboard entry, although I can see how lots of taps might amplify the bounce. Hope that helps!

No problems yet. I use it with my laptop as well when traveling. Works well, and has a good feel and tactile sound. Also, key spacing feels good, and the "home" position is easy to detect. I am currently also using a fairly expensive Logitech wireless rechargeable keyboard. For people who have been around with keyboards, this Dell has a much better feel and the fingers do not get lost as easy.

Bottom line? It is a stable and portable platform for my 17" laptop - and there is room for my mouse! The extendable legs make if very flexible for multiple work situations - always a good option for business travel. It is satisfactorily stable at all height adjustments. I like it so much that I take it on vacation too. Negatives? It could be built lighter - but it certainly is stable in the current form. I vote for stability over ultra-weight.

Purchased it a few hours ago. Using it right now on my Win 7 laptop. Had to buy a Bluetooth dongle though. When first pairing and connecting, the experience was "meh.." however I downloaded the windows drivers and an application called "magic Trackpad Control Panel" and suddenly the Trackpad became a little monster. I'm loving the new experience so far (although it took me a while to understand how to drag windows/select text, etc -you double tap but leave your finger in contact with the trackpad on the second tap and then move it around) You can find more info regarding the drivers and app here: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/apple-magic-trackpad-control-panel-adds-trackpad-properties-in-windows-7/ Purchased it a few hours ago.

OK, now I can respond. My daughter in law reminded me we gave these to each of our two youngest...9 and 13. They've had them for two years. Her remarks are...very well made. Much superior to the cheaper ones. Never rattled or felt unstable. Very smooth ride. Kids don't feel shaken or bounced. Very, very sturdy. Kent O.

I've got a Dell U2713HM which is around the 23-24 lb mark. Holds it up fine and I adjust the arms quite often from sitting to standing. a little keyboard jitter depending on how you have it extended but can't really fix that with an arm.

Seems stable to me. I must say, I love mine. My son saw and used my KAVAJ, and bought one for himself. Enjoy it.

My Answers:1) Yes, still working. I still like it.2) It's not really either. It's a harder vinyl/rubbery feeling. If you go to any hardware store and look at theirs with lit ends, it's the same thing.3) Not in my case..I wouldn't want a swivel the way I use it. It works well.

Hey A. I got the Saitek Cyborg Unit and had it for a couple of days of game play for WOW. I didn't like it at all, some reason being, Is it felt like it was constructed "cheap". By that I mean the adjustable features of the palm pad and thumb control had too much play (loose). I didn't like the software for the Key setup either, it require to make time and effort. I would suggest the Logitech G13. Ton of option, easy plug and play, programming key can be done with just a couple key strokes. And the Dpad can be assign to control mouse. link to show and prove its easy. http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31714/section/troubleshoot/crid/411/lt_product_id/5123/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/us,en Hey A.

Another "yes" vote for lap typing and that's a priority for me. I could see this varying based on body shape but I can sit on a couch or chair with it on my lap and type comfortably. It feels very stable with the rear clip out (in landscape mode) and although I wondered initially I think it is weighted correctly so that it wouldn't risk tipping over backwards.

The middle click is solid. It's wont accidentally click while scrolling. It's not stiff either. It's feels really good. I should tell you though that if you are using Ubuntu you will need to remap the buttons i.e. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as the Windows button mapping won't work out of the box for Linux.

I've purchased other screens from Amazon and this one I chose for mobility to "open and close" for a changing area at our lake house. With that said, it is not as bulky and sturdy as other screens and could be knocked down, especially on wood floor.

I think that touch & feel is awfully subjective and dependent on personal preference. But I'd say the keys on this board are relatively "tall" and distinct. In fact, this stands out for me because I'm on the heavy handed side and prefer this board's configuration to something like the Zagg tablet board that I'm typing this note on. Hope that helps.

It's amazing. I have a monkey tail and I love it! Haven't taken it off my iPad in months! It's really versitale. The material on the tail is pretty sturdy and honestly it's taken quite a beating from me and doesn't show at all! I am in a wheelchair and this device has really changed my life! Hope that answers you question hahaa sorry to go on :)

It looks like rubber. It feels like rubber and it is soft like rudder. It is not as firmly implanted in the mechanism body as the more expensive models but you only need it to tap the screen lightly and it does that ok.....

It wiggles when i snap my laptop down onto the docking station. I only move it by grabbing low on the main bars in fron (to vacuum, it's on carpet). It's not terribly sturdy. Let's say this... i wouldn't buy it for a child but i know i won't be leaning on it, etc. The keyboard tray is prettu sturdy.

It physically clicks. Scrolling is also a little iffy. I've wished for a wheel at times.
