I don't see much point to this, it barely props up your laptop at all. You're still going to get tech neck. I recently got a nexstand, external keyboard, and mouse and it has been amazing.
It's pricier but lighter and more compact.
However, more expensive than it so depends if shredding those grams is worth it or not
My preferred design is like https://amzn.eu/d/0KB8nGM (2x U shapes of metal), which lets you have the keyboard underneath the laptop , so the laptop is as close to the edge of the desk as if you weren’t using an external keyboard
I have a Roost stand and with my keyboard in front of it, the distance is mostly right (13” screen and it’s more comfortable if I scale fonts up by 20% or so). It’s actually closer to my eyes than my desktop setup (24” screen mounted on monitor arm)
If you're having trouble seeing clearly, you should use glasses and/or increase the system-wide font size (or decrease the "resolution").
Rain Design's mStand is my favorite, blends in perfectly.
The mStand is beautiful, but it's not portable.
