I think desks in general stopped being ideal after the switch away from writing on paper. Nothing new has caught on and it's quite unfortunate.

I like to work with a keyboard on my lap, and there are so few good options for it that it's incredible. My requirements are:

- some access to the mouse pointer. 1% of my usage still requires it. - shallow keys (like the apple keyboard). This is just preference. - apple cmd and option keys. - no numpad. - wireless and usable at up to 10 feet or so.

Doesn't sound crazy right? The only decent quality keyboard that meets those requirements is the Logitech diNovo Edge... the design of which I find just cheezy enough that I'm not into it.

I'd easily pay $200 for the right keyboard, but it just doesn't exist. In the meantime, I'm stuck using one of these: http://www.hekseskudd.com/products/abidextrous-wooden-tray-f...
