Is the surface large enough to use a separate mouse with my 17" laptop, with the recliner legs up? Will I still have access to the right arm of the chair as I currently use that as a mousepad?

I bought this as a gift. I do not have it to measure; but the tray is large. The specs should be on the product page. I'm pretty sure your laptop will fit just fine with room to spare. Yes, you will have access to the arms of the chair.

Yes,yes,and yes. I love it we bought it for my husband and now I'm using it. great buy multiple uses and adjustments.

The surface is approximately 13 deep by 17 wide, not including the tray at the edge of the table. The height is adjustable so that should not be a problem. The table is completely independent of the chair,except at the base, so it should not hinder access to the arms of the chair.

Only one person actually addressed your question! You will have NO room for an external mouse on the table. Use the built in touch pad or if you are like me, I mount the unit to the left of my recliner and I use a wireless mouse on the right armrest of my recliner. I use a black lens cleaner cloth as my mouse pad. Your 17" laptop will just barely fit and it will cover the cup holder. (In the product review section another person made a video of his laptop on this unit. Bravo!!) You will still have some access to the tray.

I have a 15" laptop and a trackball, and the tray is NOT large enough. Since with my chair it is too hight to be comfortable, snd since it is a trackball, not a mouse, I keep it on my thigh when I'm using it and set it on the laptop when I'm not.

I strongly advice you to NOT purchase this. It is a great idea, but it is NOT stable -- the tray dislodges easily and almost knocked our dog out! However, to answer your question, we returned ours so long ago I can't remember the surface size, but you can have access to the right arm of the chair depending on how you situate the Tray Table.

My laptop is 15" and there is approximately 3" left for a mouse. There would not be enough room left for a mouse with a 17" laptop.

You would have to buy two; the large one and then the mouse. It's two separate units. The mouse attaches to the side of the table. That would bring up two cons though, the table is only about 12" deep, most laptops would hang off the back edge about an inch. Also a 17" laptop would likely be between 5 and 7 lbs, that would make it a little tipsy especially if the legs are extended to higher positions. I wouldn't be sure it's a good solution in that environment but it's possible. (If you click on the mouse model for size and also the color, you should be able to see it with the mouse accessory attached and a sample laptop placed on top) You would have to buy two; the large one and then the mouse.

Not really. Depending on your laptop size there may be a small amount of space for your mouse but not enough to move it around as freely as you'd like. I have a logitech anywhere mouse which works better than any mouse I've had, and can be used on any surface. ..goes perfectly with this lapdesk.

I use my 17in laptop with a mouse on it. The tabs in front that hold the laptop in place could be a bit taller, but that has nothing to do with the width.

It's not high enough to sit at a desk. I have a lap desk for a wireless keyboard and mouse, and I also have my monitor on an arm that I can adjust. That's how I can work from this chair. It's certainly comfortable, but it won't replace a traditional desk chair.

Yes. I actually have a 17" Asus gaming laptop that is 12" deep front to back and 18" across. It fits just fine and I still have plenty of room on the side for a mouse. Don't get me wrong, it completely covers the table from the front lip to the back. Wiht a standard size laptop, you will have no worries at all!

I have not used the LapGear Deluxe but it sounds like that would be the better option. I used the MyDesk with my 17in laptop and mouse to play League of Legends and was comfortable for about an hour. I would recommend seeing what other reviewers say about how the Deluxe lapdesk rests on your legs as that was my main concern with LapGear's MyDesk. I hope that helps.

I'm using my laptop and mouse right now on my lap desk. Plenty of room. The lap desk sits on the arms of my chair but when I sit in a chair with no arms, the lap desk sits on my lap.

Not much room for a mouse, a few inches on either side dependiong on how big your computer is. I use with track pad on laptop

I have a laptop and I use the top of the computer keyboard for the mouse . There is very little room to maneuver the Mouse on the side of the laptop. I love for its size and mobility. I use the cart to holds computer when itake digital rays on my patients.

Yeah, mine is slightly larger than yours and the space next to it is still about 3/4ths the width of a standard mousepad size for me, but as I say in my review the wrist rest is hard plastic and incredibly uncomfortable for mousing. Others apparently don't mind though so YMMV.

Not comfortably. I have a 17 inch laptop and we tend to keep the mouse by the side

Yes it will. I purchased this to use for my 17 inch gaming laptop and my gaming mouse which is larger than a standard mouse and while I did need to purchase two of these to make it thick enough to sustain the weight of my set up, the actual surface size is perfect to accommodate my laptop, which rests on a laptop fan which then rests on top of the lap desk surface with the mousepad with mouse on top resting beside.

My son is able to use a mouse in the 3 - 4" to the side of his laptop, if his laptop is slightly off the desk. I would not say it is comfortable though. I just use the mousepad for mine.

I think I bought the large pink one, which is about 17.75"x11.75" at the surface with 11.75" leg segments. I just measured it...don't know if I do it right... but my laptop is 13" and it fits well with a mouse on the side. I recommend the large one if you use laptop more often and the small one if you use ipad more often :)
