Not ringing up as reasonable in my mind at all. :wtf:
It looks just like my old gaming board made out of spare shelve piece : also had a glued-on comfy mousepad I snatched from work )). Used it with my Logitech MX5000 for quite some time.
Except mine had bottom guards, so when you sit on a couch you don't have to actually put it on your lap and sweat your balls during the gaming session - it was more like a mini-table.
Note that the "lapdog" is without a keyboard or mouse, so in essence its a usb 3 hub on a alu plate with a mouse pad on. for 1300 kr thats a bit steep
Or else just get a shelf cut to size and a USB hub ( valcro works ) then your current mouse mat.
and all that for a 4.8m usb3 cable and hub, on a plate of painted aluminium and some foam.
Just add your own keyboard, mouse and USB hub, or use wireless.
I, for one, am excited to be using this in my home!
I have one question, how much power does the USB supply? because i know that the K95 RGB for example needs more than the 2.5W that USB 2 supplies but can scrape along on one USB3 port and 3.75 W, seeing as a mouse will draw 100 to 150 mA (0.5 W to 0.75 W) it could be of interest of potential byers if tehy could use their current keyboards and mice on this device.
