How well would a mousepad work with the armrest? Is it long enough before you get to the cupholder to still operate a mouse comfortably?

My husband says his wireless mouse works great on the armrest for him. The more he reclines the more room he says he has.

I do not think a mousepad would work on this armrest. You could use a sofa table that fits over th armrest and under the chair.

It is adjustable, depending on which hole the stand pin is placed on the mouse pad is placed in. I keep it at 4 inches which is the hole furthest from the arm rest. The other hole in the pad allows for a distance of 6 inches which is the closest hole to the arm rest. Really like the device. 2nd one, first had leather like material on arm rest which cracked and split. New one has a foam padding and I keep cloth on it to keep it clean.

The center of the armrest 'cup' can only extend about 5 inches over the edge of the desk. It's plenty for elbow movement when using a mouse or keyboard within 12" of front edge of desk.

Yes it does, however, the bolt where the platform attaches to does not. It sticks up a bit, so if your arm rest is down lower, you will not be able to scroll comfortably with your alternate mouse pad. I have my arm rest in line with my desk and have had minimal issues, but it was an adjustment in the beginning. If you don't want the mouse pad, I suggest buying one that doesn't have the mouse pad to begin with. It'll be less of a hassle. I hope this helps!

Not really... This pad creates a little resistance to the mouse movenent.... Honestly.... Don't buy it!!

This is a massive gamepad and will work for your games but I believe using the right mouse is key, my razr rat 7 didn't work extremely well as I have to replace it

I mostly use my gaming mouse but have had no problems with the track pad it's not great but it gets the job done.

I don't use the platform with the mouse because I had to have a mouse that would fit in a space to accommodate my arm /elbow. My son does this for a living and I had tennis elbow and had to go to PT. The elbow pad was essential. I also got an egonomically correct keyboard, so my mouse is independent, battery run, so it fit between the arm rests I needed and the elbow stand. Good luck. If you have pain, it's worth hiring someone to help you work out the best way to set it up. I had to relearn how to sit, take breaks etc. too. Nancy

Actually, I use the flat, upper right area by the touchpad for my small wireless mouse's use. Mouse works great there.

Yes to both. Mouse pad is more sterdy than you'd think. Seriously, great product.

I think the mouse pad pops off, but defeats the purpose of how it's constructed. Works best assembled. Mouse pad/arm wrest is awesome. I no longer have issues w/wrist and elbow. Great support.

Mine had a port in the armrest and it works great. Not sure how this would work? Probably not the guy to ask. Sorry!!

It would be a tight fit, yes, with about three inches to spare. You wouldn't need a mouse pad, though, as the surface of the LapGear is very compatible with mouse use. I guess it depends on how much you would be using the mouse. I honestly think it would be workable, but that may be a subjective feeling.

I have a very large Microsoft wireless keyboard and my mousepad barely fits without having to shift the keyboard to the extreme left side of the tray. Normal keyboards should have no trouble. Hope this helps.

It depends on the length of the chair arms. I have an average office style chair and the arms extend out from the edge of the chair cushioned back 1Ft 5inches. The mouse rests flip outward, giving you (roughly) another 6 inches before the edge of the keyboard tray, which rests easily on the rubber glides underneath. There is enough play that I can almost put the tray out almost 18inches away and it still rests on both rubber glides on the mouse rest edges. It could be even more if you rig extensions onto the tops of the arms, strapping them in place with pipe ties.

Yea, i was considering making some kind of armrest/heat shield there. Might help to use the shoulder strap, but i hate using them.

I use a mouse, not a mouse pad. It seems the computer would be heavier sitting that far to the left and be off balance. It is wide enough, but comfortably so? I don't want to guarantee it.
