For the most comfortable typing experience, I prefer a slightly angled keyboard. 5-10 degrees maybe? I have a mechanical keyboard on my desk that I always use with my legs stretched out in front. Previously I used a laptop stand to position it at the same angle. Which worked but increased the height of the laptop higher than I needed. Another downside was that we now have a "hotel" in my work office so I don't have a personal desk to store things at. So I had to lug this plastic stand back and forth along with my laptop, mouse, and power cord. It hurts a little. Enter this product so perfectly that it gave me the setup I wanted while eliminating both disadvantages of the plastic stand. I liked it so much that I immediately ordered a second set for my laptop bag. I highly recommend it for those who want easy, ergonomic tilting with minimal fuss.
