Is there a lock for the swivel base, just in case you do not want it to move also please let me know if the stand moves while typing.

There does not appear to be one although I believe there is a model that does not swivel. I don't find that mine moves freely.

I use an external keyboard so my laptop never moves unless I touch it.Typing off of a laptop resting on a stand would kinda defeat the purpose (ergonomic relief), imo.

The swivel base does not lock. It is possible for yhe stand to move while typing.

Unfortunately there is no lock for the swivel on the base. That's actually the reason I switched to the non swivel version. It shouldn't swivel while typing but it will swivel if the stand is bumped at all. Even a gentle bump will cause it to swivel a little.

No there is not lock but I had the stand for couple month and it does not move when I'm typing.

No lock, and the stand can rotate while you type on it. I use an external keyboard with it; the stand isn't designed for typing on the laptop's keyboard while mounted.

The stand is fixed, it does not swivel. You have most likely put it together correctly.

It does swivel. It raises and lowers easily. I don't think it locks in place. I'll try it tomorrow.

The base of the stand sits on an attached swivel mechanism. The platform where the TV sits turns and the swivel under the platform remains in place. Nothing gets scratched, Very smooth movement. Hope that answers your question.

Are you referring to the stand? I did not purchase the stand in addition to the keyboard. It will fall if you tip it too far backwards or forwards.

Hope it helps with deciding to purchase.I have been using the stand with the rotatable base for about 6 months, and it works well.For extended use when typing letters and etc. I have added a cordless keypad and have been totally happy with that configurationHw.

It doesn't have any kind of lock. It sits in a groove with a non-slip rubber type section that holds it securely. There's also a non-slip ridge around the section that the tablet leans on, and the bottom section that sits on your chosen surface also has a non-slip ridge around it. I've never had my tablet slip off/out of it, even when I use it on my lap without a table. I would say you should make sure you put the tablet in the groove so that it isn't lopsided (in other words evenly distributed) especially if you are using a bigger tablet, like a 10.5" one.

Rotates freely... Non issue when using as a stand on a surface or lap really. I only notice if it rotates slightly when folded over and reading holding it in my hand.

It does not lock in place. It just comes out and sits there. My wife has been using it with a mouse for 4 months and loves it. She has not noted a problem with it moving while she is typing...She is writer so does a lot of typing. If it were a problem, I'd just make catch for it since it is a solid useful tray as is...Hope this helps. Frank

It depends on what you mean by lock. If you mean lock in an open position, no it doesn't. You do want to find a flat surface to place it on while you use it, otherwise it can get kind of awkward typing.

Yes the tablet will swivel on the stand without moving it's feet. Very sturdy little stand.

I think it would hold up to continuous swiveling. The only thing I would advise, though, is keeping it behind the counter or finding a way to secure it to your counter so someone won't run out the door with the stand and your iPad. When I'm at art fairs, I usually hold it while the customer signs it, then put it on the inside of my booth where someone can't reach it without asking me for it.

Mine cannot be locked, it will swivel at all locations of the slide. But I love mine, good and strong, well made !!!!

As far as I know, there is no way to affix the keyboard to the stand. But that hasn't proved a problem for me. The keyboard balances well on the stand -- doesn't shift or wobble.

No, it's not possible to keep the iPad from rotating. I haven't seen any cases that do allow you to lock the rotation of the device within the case.

Yes, once you open the keyboard, it locks in place. Not a hard lock in place, but enough for when you are ready to stop using it and close it, you will have to use some pressure to close it.
