LapWorks Announces Gamers Desk - a Wide Portable Keyboard & Mousing Platform for Comfortable PC Gameplay

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
LapWorks(TM) Inc., the market leader in ergonomic and
heat-reducing laptop desks and stands, today announced its initial
entry into the PC Gaming market with the portable Gamers Desk. As PC
gamers move to their couches to play First Person Shooter (FPS) and
other high precision games on their HDTV or laptop screen, the Desk
provides a comfortable, ergonomically-sound, wide flat platform across
the lap with ample space for a broad gaming keyboard and optical mouse
or a laptop and external mouse. Measuring 11 inches wide by 26 3/4
across, including a 6 x 9 inch mousing area on either end, the Gamers
Desk is made of high-impact ABS plastic, comes in modernistic
'gun-metal' gray and retails for $39.95 directly from LapWorks.

"LapWorks' Gamers Desk makes a timely entrance into a converging
market where many traditional desktop PC gamers are moving with
keyboard and mouse in front of the TV, once the sole domain of console
games," said Jo Jo Marks, director of marketing for Ideazon, maker of
the popular Zboard Gaming Keyboard. "The Gamers Desk helps bring PC
gaming into the living room, where gamers can leave their desks behind
and use a wide platform to handle a keyboard and mouse on their lap."

Avid PC gamer and Gamers Desk beta tester Alex Artigues talked
with LapWorks about PC gaming trends. "PC gaming in the living room
has to date been limited because not all video cards were powerful
enough to drive an HDTV display, HDTVs were too expensive to gain much
traction, and it is a pain to use a keyboard and mouse on the coffee
table or couch."

Artigues added that advanced FPS enthusiasts may prefer the
precision of a mouse over console game controllers which have few
buttons and joysticks with a limited range of motion.

"We wanted PC gamers to be able to play in comfort and with
control wherever they are," said Jose Calero, president of LapWorks.
"Whether gaming on a couch or in an easy chair in front of a
big-screen TV, or at their PC, the Gamers Desk supports all gamer
keyboards with plenty of room for an optical mouse."

The Gamers Desk arrives in three parts which are easy to assemble.
Two Futura MouzPads snap easily into place, one on each end of a
Laptop Desk Futura. LapWorks also provides four locking plugs which
can hold the MouzPads in place semi-permanently.

LapWorks designed the MouzPad so heavy-handed mouse users won't
inadvertently snap it off, while also being easy to remove simply by
lifting up its outer edge. If precision gamers find that they require
a stronger hold, they can use the locking plugs.

Visually aesthetic with a bursting oval-shaped pattern and open
ventilation slots which allow heat to escape, the assembled Gamers
Desk is rigid, thin (1/4-inch), lightweight (1 pound 9 ounces), and
foldable in the middle for easy transport and storage. Soft non-skid
rubber pads on the middle portion of the Gamer Desk keep gamer
keyboards or laptops from slipping. There are four utility holes for
cables, pencils, pens, etc. It carries a 6-month warranty.

LapWorks expects later this year to launch the Gamers Desk in
colors and patterns similar to the recently-announced Painted Laptop
Desk Futuras. Pricing is undetermined at this time.

LapWorks welcomes feedback from the gaming community to consider
for future gaming platforms.
