I'm thinking of giving up my office/man cave to turn I to a spare room or nursery one day. I love pc gaming and all the hardware that goes with it. Apart from battling my partner to not giving up my office I have a couple options. I could just get a gaming laptop and sit at the dinning table or make a sff gaming build and plug it into the TV in the lounge. I'm leaning towards having it in the lounge, hence the thread title. My question is how is that comfortable as you would have to sit up in the sofa and leaning towards the keyboard and mouse on a coffee table, won't I get back ache after a while. The games I play is RTS so it's not like I can use a controller.
Lounge pc gaming- can it be done comfortably

Look up the Corsair K63 Lapboard - very easily and comfortable!
Combined with an ITX rig in the living room, you shall continue the gaming dream
How does it stop you from hurting your back with no back support due to sitting in a sofa. What do you lie the keyboard and mouse on, a cushion?
Did you even look the product up I said? It's a board with a memory foam cushion underneath, you put the wireless keyboard and mouse on it, with it all rested on your lap (hence, lapboard lol)
Why would you have no back support sitting in a sofa? You have a back on the sofa to support you... If your sofa doesn't support your back, you have a crap sofa and should really sort that first and foremost

You literally sit on the sofa, and put the board on your lap... have you ever eaten dinner on the sofa with a food tray on your knee?
Now imagine that with a memory foam cushion underneath so it moulds nicely and is comfortable on your knees, followed by a mouse and keyboard on top of it, instead of a dinner plate.
Your exact predicament of having to reside your gaming setup to the living room TV setup, is part of the reason why Corsair came up with this product lol

I've made a couple of lapboards. I use 6mm MDF and cut to size - first one was nice and wide, room for a cuppa and a full keyboard with a belly curve. It sat nicely on my armchair at the time, IKEA Poang, too.
Latest model used a 60% keyboard as it's almost exclusively for gaming, the entire board is much smaller. For this one I've used 3m USB cables and run it wired. I've used velcro to hold the keyboard on, and embedded magnets so the mouse sticks too in storage. The first one I made, the mouse would slide off anytime I moved it around. The new one can hang on the wall
