I may have missed it, but it seems like the kind of thing that I'd have seen here...

I'd heard that, and I swear it was in a thread around here.

But $130 for the lapboard? No, fuck that. That is not an affordable solution.

I've been playing pc games from my couch for three years now. That lapboard looks retarded, your keyboard permanently tilted and the mouse under it? Just put the keyboard in your lap and use some mouse setup like mine - I put a pillow on the sofa cushion next to me, put a thin 8-1/2x11 book (with some textile roughness) on it and mouse on that. Works great and cost me maybe $10 for the pillow and pillowcase :)

I've tried a ton of alternatives, but that's always the most comfortable and usable.

No, that would be the Phantom's INVESTORS. The designer is happily sitting in Bali playing naked native horsey rides on the investor's money.

No, he could have just sold fancy pillows for the same price and made more profit.

Pillows....WITH EXTREME ATTITUDE!

And a pocket for your poop sock.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe
