I had some stuff I had to scan. My old flatbed would not work with XP-64, thanks Bill, so set up the old freeby HP on the kitchen table. With the mid-tower, a crt monitor, the scanner, and two stacks of books to prop up the book I was scanning from there was not much room. Turned out for that the Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite was just what was needed; it left me just enough room to use the mouse. It was the right tool for the job.
