Looking for a PC accessory to make my laziness complete(Lap desk?)

Sign in to disble this ad
I've decided to be incredibly lazy and nerdy in my dorm this coming Fall. Basically, I do not want to have to leave my bed in order to use the PC and do all my gaming in bed as well.

So, I have my HDTV hooked up to my laptop. I've got my wireless keyboard and mouse. I'm almost set. I need something to put my wireless keyboard and mouse on while I'm in bed. Right now I just have them on the bed and as a result I have to sit with terrible posture, and I'm not really able to play games in that position.

So I'm looking at lap desks and other stands, but most of them seem to be for the actual laptop. So far my favorite is this But it is kind of pricey and I don't know how convenient it would really be, considering its way wider than my lap.

Then there are the stands that stand up on legs, but I also don't know how useful/easy that would be.

Anyway, anyone have experience with such a setup or any ideas they would like to share?


And yes, I know I'm super lazy.

Sounds like you're on the fast track to getting laid. See if you can find a keyboard tray with a Star Trek theme, that'll surely lock the ladies in.

Got my girlfriend long before I thought up this plan. Nor did I reveal my video game habits until we were serious haha. She fully supports me. Keeps me from going out and cheating on her she says.

Adjustable rolling/swivel trays like they use in hospitals.

Yeah, you'll probably find something crafty you can tailor to yourself on Instructables.com
