I use this keyboard when I watch my TV whiwh is also connected to my laptop. The keyboard isn't genreally on my desk as I mostly use it on my couch. It has an integrated trackpad so I don't need a mouse on my couch too. It is also very lightweight so I can easily take it wherever I want in my room. However I wish it has backlight because it's somtimes hard to see the letters in the dark when I'm typing the name of a movie for example.
