If you were to hold the mouse pad up with one hand, how flexible is it?I'm looking for one that's stiff to place in my backpack with a few books. Thanks

This pad is very flexible, it would probably wrap around books, but sounds like you want something more rigid.

It is not stiff at all and it very flimsy and rolls up extremely easily with ease. Not good with you're looking for a permanent solution but works well as a travel companion since it will fit almost anywhere.

Its not stiff at all. Its very flexible. You can roll it up like a burrito.

I used my laptop on the raised side, while the mouse was used on the flat side. It was great to use and worked very well. (I was in a hospital bed with a broken ankle and this table had many uses.)

I pretty much agree with Joseph. I use this mouse when I'm making diagrams in Illustrator and I haven't had any issues. I case it's helpful, the vertical mouse let's your hand be in the "handshake" position instead of being flat as if you're using a keyboard or piano. This position is much more natural for the wrist.

I have larger hands as well and there will be some "slack" over the mouse but I wouldn't see it a concern. Unless you have hands like large-handed basketball player, you should be fine.

Yeah, mine is slightly larger than yours and the space next to it is still about 3/4ths the width of a standard mousepad size for me, but as I say in my review the wrist rest is hard plastic and incredibly uncomfortable for mousing. Others apparently don't mind though so YMMV.

I use a firm mouse-pad. I haven't tried using a cloth mouse-pad, do I cannot confirm the performance there. The mouse works well over-all with the only adjustment being that the right click doesn't make a tactile click when pressed. Something to consider.

I think it would probably be a bit too small for that. I have a full-sized keyboard (including numeric keypad) and a Logitech trackball-type controller, and there's plenty of room for that, but I know I could not fit a typical mouse pad on there.

My son is able to use a mouse in the 3 - 4" to the side of his laptop, if his laptop is slightly off the desk. I would not say it is comfortable though. I just use the mousepad for mine.

I'm carrying a stylus in the little elastic tab thingy right now. It's *really* tight, though, so my regular fat stylus doesn't work. I've got another, thinner, pen/stylus combo device that slides right in. They can be had for $2 or so on the major online auction site we're not supposed to name.

I have a 17" laptop and there is NOT enough room to use a mouse as well on this lap desk. Were it to be a smaller laptop, perhaps, but I am not sure how easy it would be considering the lap desk is curved to allow for air movement. It might be awkward to use a mouse.

Hello Aaron, I've had mine for a couple of months now. It 'works' but not as I had hoped it would. If you use the number pad a lot then no! I thought this would be bendable so I could curve it around my Fellowes Microban split keyboard but it is rigid. The image shows a curve in the design, but, it is not as curved as it looks. I do wish it was more flexible. If I could I would have found the kind with the pellets in it so I could shape it exactly to fit.

I didn't have a problem with the touch pad. However, I did purchase a mouse to use with it because of the work I do on the laptop.

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.

There is no mouse attachment to this laptop. If you mean the mousepad, I can say it's too big for its dimension. Some time my palm would get in the way. Maybe I'm too custom to my old laptop where the mousepad is small. What I can say is the mousepad works but not my friendly type

The 'desk' area is a soft surface. It is at such an angle, that I have some difficulty keeping my pc on it. Wish the lip was a little higher. As I like using a mouse rather than the keyboard, I just 'read' on it.

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

I have a keyboard stand & a wireless mouse so I don't use the desk pad with my mouse. I did try it for you and it seems ok.
