    Hi. I'm looking for something, sort of like a lap desk. Basically, the way I have my computer and monitor set up, I sit back in a chair and have a wireless keyboard on my lap + a wireless mouse resting on a thick book which itself is resting on a flat arm of my computer chair. This works great, however, I'm looking to buy a new computer chair and 95% of the new chairs have curved arms, which would make it very difficult to balance a book and mouse pad on it to use. So, is there something I could buy that maybe would attach to the arm and create a flat surface for a mouse pad? Maybe a small lap desk that could conform to the curved arms or something? I don't know. If you guys have any ideas of what I can use with a chair with curved arms, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

    HAHA JK,
    they make these lap desks that are cushioned, but as far as attachable, I've never seen one. Example of a lapdesk: eComfort Lap Desk at Brookstone
