Is it stable or does it move from side to side when you type?

I use the deluxe keyboard arm and tray. I have had no wobbles in my 1.5 years of use. The shelf is very stable. The glide mechanism has a firm grip on the shelf. This keeps the shelf from floating in or out while I'm working on it. I have to use 2 hands or push dead center to slide it under the desk when I am finished.

This stand is very sturdy, stability isn't an issue, in fact the heavier the keyboard the more stable it should be. I haven't noticed any shaking and I do usually pound away (I'm more concerned with the keyboard being able to take it) but since you asked, I can get the stand to wobble left and right a bit if I push and deliberately try to get it to sway laterally but it has absolutely no movement up and down or front to back no matter how much force I use. It takes deliberate effort to make it move sideways, not something you would normally do, you could beat this stand with a sledgehammer and it wouldn't shake, I don't think you should have any concerns.

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.

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.

It does not lock, but there is enough friction that it doesn't usually slide while typing.

I've been typing with it on my lap... and itseems to be staying in place without any issue as all. My preference is to have it all on a table, but in a pinch my legs work.

My keyboard slants too but the wrist rest sits higher therefore mine does not slip away. I am able to rest my wrist on the wrist rest comfortably while I type with no issues what so ever. Hope this helps.

The platform does operate in a flat position. It will stay in that position as long as you do not exert too much weight on it as you are typing or gaming. I have mine in the flat position about 95% oof the time.

Very firmly. I use it in my lap frequently and that was impossible with my old keyboard too. I've had mine for 3 months so far and couldn't be happier!

Yes. Mine is usually flat; sometimes I'll angle it down about 20 degrees if I'm typing a lot. It doesn't angle down much more than that.

The keyboard detaches from the case like Velcro. You can grab the keyboard in your hand and the phone can stand on end facing you (much like a monitor) because the case has a stand built in with it. This is how you would type on the keyboard without the phone flopping around. Otherwise, the phone would be floppy while typing unfortunately. It's a good case though. Really like it.

Yes, to an extent...I typed this response with no extra support. You can tap fine but it does jiggle as you type on it. If you want no movement whatsoever, look elsewhere.

No, it bends right on the middle but is very stable other wise. I love this keyboard I don't know what your looking fore but I really don't have any complaing with its performance. The battery last for days and I am a student so I give it extra use and the keys are very sensitive I love it. Hope this helps you

No issues. It is smooth enough so that your mouse will glide on it, but if your keyboard has any grips whatsoever on the bottom, it will not move. I have the most basic Lenovo keyboard with 1cm rubber pads at each corner, and have had no issues at all.

It is quite stable, and the articulation points could be tightened to make it even more so. I use mine next to two displays to elevate the laptop screen. I typically do use a BT keyboard, but have used the laptop keyboard many times as well.

It does not lock in place. It just comes out and sits there. My wife has been using it with a mouse for 4 months and loves it. She has not noted a problem with it moving while she is typing...She is writer so does a lot of typing. If it were a problem, I'd just make catch for it since it is a solid useful tray as is...Hope this helps. Frank
