This is what I was hoping for! ErgoDox with proper Tenting / Tilting!!!

Looking at this tenting solution again and seems pretty elegant. Seems to be more versatile than trying to mess with Kinesis V3 or VIP3 tenting tools.

And not to forget, tenting AND tilting!

It's not a 30º tenting option, but I think it will certainly make the ErgoDox so much nicer with this (almost) built-in solution. Let's hope they get to 70K!!!

I'm not a mechanical engineer but I do have some doubts whether this will be really stable.
Good to see the effort to solve tilting and tenting though.

Hrrm.......

We need up to 4 inches beneath the "inside " edge..

This won't be enough. unless those legs are telescopic in some way.
