I like the idea of resting the mouse and keyboard on a massive mouse pad but have concerns about my keyboard sliding around.

While there is always the possibility of the keyboard sliding the Ripper does a VERY good job an minimizing it. The pad has enough sponginess to it that the keyboard feet dig in and "prevent" sliding.

I bought this for a friend as a present and he says he doesn't have any issues.

Great point! I have a Logitech Ultrathin Illuminated Backlit Keyboard, which has rubber non-skid pads built in. This prevents sliding. If your keyboard has none, I am sure you can purchase stick-on pads for yours at a local hardware store. The benefits of a large mousepad are worth the "user modification" of your keyboard, in my humble opinion! I hope this helps.

I have had no problem with keyboard movement. The large pad allows me to have greater range without lifting the mouse. I like it a lot. If you are a neat freak you will find that the large black surface shows dust and other things that drop on it. All you have to do is pick it up and shake it off.

I use the keyboard on my lap, I have not had any problems. There is a little "grove" for the feet to fit into. If the angle was to great, maybe the feet would slip out.

No, it would be way to difficult to adjust it with the monitor and keyboard on it. In fact, it was hard setting it up and getting is so that it isn't crooked. However, I do like mine. It will shake if I am typing fast and my mouse will fall off (from the vibration). However this set-up is cheaper than other models and it does the job.

I have my mouse work on special mouse pad that goes onto my desk. I have never had any problems with this one or any previous ones. It's soft and smooth on top but the bottom of it has like a rubber matt to keep it from sliding on my desk.

I have a regular keyboard on it and it just barely fits. The keyboard tray does not come out very far. I have the mouse up above. Other then that I am pretty happy with it.

It would probably stay in place but I wouldn't risk it. I would say the safest way to use this would be on a desk or on a stationary lap.

Yes, maybe. There is a lip at the bottom edge to keep the laptop from sliding off, depending on your keyboard.... if its thin your wrists might rest on that lip (not comfortable), or maybe use one of those gel pads with it?? but other than that I think it would work great for a keyborad

Should be fine. The Logitech keyboard I use has a built-in wrist rest and there is plenty of room for it. I like this product.

Unfortunately, no, not really. The bars that are supposed to support the underside of the keyboard are too long to fit in the grooves, so that you either have the keyboard wanting to flip over away from you, or flip over towards you. I am likely exaggerating how unbalanced it is, but nevertheless, with its tendency to slide on the stand, it can become a real issue.

I would be hesitant to try this for two reasons. One, I don't see there being enough room to do this and leave reasonable space to navigate the mouse. The second, and maybe more important, I would not really "rest" my hand or wrist on this. I don't think it would bear any real weight at all without placing stress on the armature.

My laptop has rubber feet so it does not slide. You could use anti-slip dycem to avoid slipping:

Yep. I just prop my arms up with pillows so that i can type relaxed. But if u are referring to an 'attached' keyboard then that would be connected by bluetooth so you would have to just prop the keyboard up with pillows till comfy with yr arms rested. Hope I have interpreted the question correctly.

it sits kind of unevenly on the arm of MY sofa, so use of the keyboard would be awkward and truthfully i'm not sure a keyboard would fit gracefully in the space provided because of the lip around the edge

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.

You would need some way to weight the base so that it didn't move or slide. It's really made to elevate the screen to a better height while using a keyboard at normal desk height.

I have both a full-size keyboard and my mouse and mouse pad on there, but it is a tight fit.
