A couple of you guys sent me links to this gamers desk lapboard and it looks like something you guys might / might not like. What are your thoughts on this?

I'd buy one just because I hate having to lean over the coffee table when playing games on my TV in the livingroom. Even with my mouse pad on a book on the couch it doesn't feel right. I'll give one a shot if the price isn't too steep. Looks much better than a piece of plywood across your lap.
I think some of you are missing the point. Its for your lap whilst playing on a HDTV.
No one missed the point. $40+ for a rectangle to set your keyboard and mouse on. $2 worth of MDF from home depot does the same. Add in some work with a jigsaw and router, and you have a custom one to fit your keyboard, mouse AND lap. Not only that, but the thing seems too small to be of any use.
Its not a bad idea, its just that people who can operate a jigsaw, or at least walk into a lumber store, hold their arms up in the air and say "i want it cut it this long", can do it for far cheaper.
Assuming you buy this because you don't have a place for your keyboard and mouse on your desk/whatever, then where do you place it when it's not in use? It doesn't make sense.
Meh, I'm not impressed.
My solid wood desk looks nicer, my standard keyboard functions very well, and my G5 laser mouse is quite happy on the nekkid wood.
