So, is the keyboard tray resting on your legs just above your knees and your hands are resting on top, sort of at 170-180 degrees (if raised above your head was 0/360)? Or have you done something to raise up the keyboard so your hands are more like 90 degrees (like a normal desk pose puts them)?

Yes, keyboard just above the knees. It's similar to the angle you'd get if you were slouching and your forearms were resting on the desk. Generally quite comfortable.

I think raising my hands up higher (90 degrees as you say) would actually be a lot worse. Never understood that aspect of all the more "real" laying desks.

I should note that I purposely don't use a mouse with this setup, because it would end up being quite far away and would need to be on a solid surface.

I use a very similar setup, and I use a mouse because I've never found a keyboard I liked that includes a touch pad. I've simply taken another monitor arm + a laptop holder attachment. Flip it and put a firm pad on top and you have a mouse pad holder that you can position in 3d exactly where you want it.

Agreed - only Apple standalone trackpads are really worth using as far as I can tell.

If you happen to like the ThinkPad TrackPoint mouse nub, these keyboards work great for that type of setup: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/keyboa...

I would love to use something with a TrackPoint, but I have an irrational fear of committing to a non-fullsize keyboards. It's regretful that they don't build different keyboard variants or license the tech out, but I assume the market isn't large enough to warrant more offers.

I use a setup with a previous generation of that keyboard. I really wish they'd go back to the version I have that has a built-in palm rest.
