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.

    May not be what you are looking for, but I’d look into either a chair mount or an under-the-desk keyboard tray.

      That’s probably what I’ll end up doing in the long run (since it would allow to keep the mouse closer too). I’m just entering the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole tho, and I want to figure out my pseudo-endgame keyboard and layout before investing in mounts and similar.
