That's why I went with the single-hand game controllers instead. I'm looking forward to the new Steam Frame VR controllers, because they will probably be the best option once they're out.

I map one of the keys to voice input push-to-talk for handy: https://handy.computer/

This involved reverse engineering and writing new drivers for both (with no existing reference for the PSVR). It's all in that library, so if that sounds interesting to you, you can probably get Claude/Codex/whatever to convert it to a Windows app pretty quickly.

I haven't been maintaining this tool actively, but maybe it's useful to someone.

My mother [1], an astronomer at CMU, has been very involved with this effort, and is tracking it with "before" and "after" photography courtesy of the ISS crew.

It is one area of environmental regulation that seems to be pretty easy to make progress on because it's not a partisan issue and the "right way" ends up being cheaper for cities as well as more pleasant.

If you happen to like the ThinkPad TrackPoint mouse nub, these keyboards work great for that type of setup: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/keyboa...

I actually think the biggest downside to the multi-station dynamic setup is that the ideal monitor configuration for that is a single curved ultrawide, and there are essentially no high resolution options.

I think raising my hands up higher (90 degrees as you say) would actually be a lot worse. Never understood that aspect of all the more "real" laying desks.

I should note that I purposely don't use a mouse with this setup, because it would end up being quite far away and would need to be on a solid surface.

Mount the arm to something (like a desk) and swing it over the couch to lay down. In my case, I can actually pivot it between the couch and the chair on the other side of the desk.

Great for a few hours a day when you want to sink into focus mode. Super highly recommended it.
