Is this sturdy enough to type on and rest your hands on while it is extended?

Ehh...thats questionable. I use mines with a 15" MacBookPro about 7lbs I think. I have mines mounted by clamp and I would say its not. The weight of my hand resting on it adds substantial stress to the clamp, the arm extension and tray pivoting joint. I can type directly onto the keyboard w/o putting the weight of my hands on it, but resting the full weight of my hands on it ....I personally wouldn't recommend it- at least not with a clamp mount. Also- note that the plastic support tray is attached to the metal arm extension by a sturdy plastic piece...sturdy, but still plastic.

It's sturdy enough to type on and it wouldn't break if you rested your hands on it but it will lean a little bit not enough for your laptop to slip off but enough to notice that should be expected though.

I purchased 6 to be used daily at a dentist office and they have been sturdy this far (about 3 years)

Yes. It is sturdy. It doesn't feel hollow and has a little bit of weight to it.

It does not wobble while typing. You can put a mouse on it, but it is not sturdy enough to lean your arm on it. I noticed your user name has dr in it. This was purchased for a dr and he hates it. It is too short for him (he is 5'10"), it does not push well from room to room and feels very cheap.

yes!! Great padding much thicker than most. Even the straps to keep the keyboard in place have a lot of padding....I highly recommend this because of it's size and durability! (and no, I don't work for whatever company makes this either!)

When purchased as shown, yes. I added the extra extenstion arm and that makes it too unstable to hold a lap top. I only use it for a keyboard so no problem.

This is a light weight stand. If your keyboard is light, I suppose it would be fine.

Yes, but you might want to remove the keyboard or just make sure it's turned off as to not accidentally type while holding. But the front of the case can be folded back like any other.

Most keyboards also have a short base with nothing to rest the palms on. This one has a slightly extended one. The split zones are also often angled from each other which is not a comfortable position for me. Everyone has different needs. If it doesn't look like something you would be comfortable with, don't purchase it.

No they're not sturdy enough, it's even too shaky to hold my wireless keyboard steady since it's heavier than wired keyboards. It may be because my computer chair has curved arm rests, but I even have to stay mindful of the mouse so it wouldn't fall off every time I let it go.

It's pretty solid, much more so than it looks. Could you make it wobble if you really wanted to? I suppose, but it's pretty stable in normal use. That said, I found myself using the keyboard with the tray resting on my lap, which doesn't wobble at all.

Not as is. You'll need to get a tray of some sort to support the weight. It's meant for another keyboard, but you could rig it for a laptop if needed

No, I wouldn't put anything heavier than your keyboard on it. Mine actually arrived broken so, apparently, shipping was too much for it.

Another "yes" vote for lap typing and that's a priority for me. I could see this varying based on body shape but I can sit on a couch or chair with it on my lap and type comfortably. It feels very stable with the rear clip out (in landscape mode) and although I wondered initially I think it is weighted correctly so that it wouldn't risk tipping over backwards.

No. You really need to put it on a flat surface to type. It does 'lock' closed with magnets.

Not really. Though it seems to be pretty stable, the magnetic bar that attaches is probably not strong enough to hold securely. I just tried it and it does hold, but I'd recommend separating it and not use it attached.BTW, the keyboard works great.

it is surprisingly sturdy. My mother uses it frequently for her Kindle DX, which is the 10" version, very similar to an ipad.

Yes but there is not much flexability with this stand. It swivals and rises but the keyboard & display stay rigid.
