I’m quite tall and have rather long arms. As a consequence, I rarely find myself sitting at the desk with the elbows bent at a proper angle while typing. I figured out it would be more comfortable for me to work with the keyboard sitting on my lap, tented if possible, but I couldn’t find a stable configuration with my split 34-keys board. Is there anybody that came up with a smart solution to this?

I’m also considering building a small unibody like the hummingbird, but I guess it may be too small to comfortably sit on the lap.

    I’m interested in something like this that allows something like split keyboard tray mount. The Glove80 also has a pretty elegant tripod mounting option, since you mentioned low profile switches. The Ferris Sweep also has a greater pinky stagger, and you may also consider using Ergogen in the future to make something that properly matches your hand curvature!

      The glove80 has way too many keys for me. And, as far as I know, the stagger on the Sweep is the same as the chocofi. But yeah, I’ll probably create my own design sooner or later.
