How stable is this device. I am a hard typer meaning i hit each key pretty hard, does this thing stay stable when i type or does it wobble?

If you sit it balanced between each pair of supports, you should be fine. My machine has never moved; but I take time to center it.

The stand opens wide on the bottom and in general keeps the laptop stable. It may depend on the shape of the bottom part of the laptop. If your bottom of your laptop is too curved so that it is not fit flush against the lower stays on the stand it may slip out. It has not been an issue with the 17 inch Envy laptop.

It is very sturdy. It's made out of medal and is adjustable and lightweight. I think you will like it.

It remains stable no matter how hard one types. Its semi-accordion action allows you to squeeze it tightly against the sides of your computer and gravity does the rest.

Yes...it is very stable. I too have been known to hit the keyboard a tad to hard and have never had a problem with it.

Hi Brenda I use this keyboard at work. I tend to type with strong touch, so it's loud but I don't quite concern about it.(I can't type quiet that's more of my problem than keyboard )I think it not so loud if you type as most average users.Nick

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

no, it does not work well and the key board is all wobbly and unstable while typing and in use. kindly send an appropriate one and replace it. thanks for the query.

I think the keyboard gets set into grooves, which are then screwed down (if I remember correctly). It is very sturdy and does not feel loose or wobbly.

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!

Rock solid for typing on for sure. Standing?? The device is desk mounted and has about 18 inches of vertical travel. I type and lean on it too! VERY Solid

I have to agree with previous post. I spend 8 + hours per weekday typing for work (straight typing) and it has just enough "resistance" so you know you're pressing, but not so hard your fingers get tired - :)

It takes some getting used to, but I can type pretty well. I don't use many function keys, but I imagine that they would be fine too after some practice. I usually walk about 1.5 mph and that is a decent speed in which I can do most work.

Thanks for your question.. no, my Mouse scroll Wheel doesn't have any wobble. But it does make a slight noise once in awhile, when scrolling. Other than that it is fine and works very well.

Matt, The unit itself is very stable. The keyboard doesn't shift in relation to the iPad and the iPad maintains the angle you choose. But I hate typing on my lap, because the iPad & keyboard is much smaller than a laptop. I had the exact situation Saturday and the unit moved because my legs don't lend themselves to stability. I can't keep my thighs together (good thing I'm not a woman!). My solution is to put my briefcase or a large folder/tablet on my lap to provide a more stable surface. But the shifting is not the fault of the Airbender. In fact, I'm finding is very stable in almost every configuration. Matt, The unit itself is very stable.

I have never had any problems with this keyboard. At all. None. I love it. I am using it to answer this question. ;)!

So far I have not experienced any lag on typing. Maybe I do not use the kb much enough. Anyway I think a little lag is acceptable for this kind of kb and mobile device. I use this kb for my note 8.

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!

While it is a very sturdy setup, the keyboard tray bounces when I type on it. Even worse, the screen bounces a little bit too. I'm still experimenting; I'm not sure how much a problem the bouncing will be. I don't have the keyboard velcroed or otherwise affixed to the tray, but I don't think this makes any difference: the keyboard tray bounces but the keyboard itself isn't moving.

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.
