TwelveSouth MagicWand: Bring your keyboard and Magic Trackpad together as one

I absolutely agree! Here is a detailed comparison of the two that shows how much better the aTrackt! is!

But there are differences you may be concerned about. First, theirs is made of plastic, not aluminum. That's something I considered, but decided against, not just because I personally prefer aluminum, but because there's a reason Apple chose it too. It's obviously much more durable and 'rigid.' Imagine your keyboard being silver plastic instead. Sure it would look almost the same, but it wouldn't 'feel' the same.
I also like something heavier than just the keyboard and trackpad in my lap. Look in the videos... the units 'wobble' much more when typing because they're really too light to be used in your lap and just don't have the same front support. It's good in a pinch, but I wouldn't want to use it every day in my home theater.
Also, the pieces 'snap in' to the bar so, as you can see in the reviews of it, you can't easily shut the units off because at least one of the two will have its power button covered. Mine, you just lift out the unit and hit the button. (Not usually an issue though as they do feature auto-off.)
On theirs, even with their spacer, the trackpad and keyboard are *very* close together meaning your fingers tend to accidentally brush the trackpad when you type, which, because with theirs you have no choice but to use 'tap-to-click' when in your lap, will cause problems. Our original design had them right against each other as well but that was driving the testers up a wall so we added the spacer. It may be a small gap, but it really makes a huge difference. One of the reviewers (iLounge.com I believe) pointed out that same issue, even when on the desk (you could remove the spacer, but then you can't use it in your lap, meaning it's not $10 more for our aluminum desk version.) You just don't have that issue with ours.
But the biggest thing for me is that when used in your lap, their product 'floats' in the air (which is why you need that spacer between them, to keep them from 'paddling') and as a result, you lose the physical, tactile click on the trackpad. That's a deal-breaker for me because I use my thumb to click while dragging with my fingers. An original version of my product had the 'floating' design that had the same result... no physical click, and it drove me up a wall! So I decided to go with the 'frame' approach instead.

no it will not.

I wish the price on that wooden tray were cheaper. I was considering it but it's just to pricey for me.

I do the same thing for the same reason.

I imagine there are going to be a lot of people who spend $30 on this thing, and then discover that it's actually better to keep the keyboard and trackpad separated a bit.
