I use a lap desk for this purpose...there are lots of options, but I like this one for it's portability and stickiness:

    Hi,

    I work with my keyboard resting on my legs. I find this is the
    best position to keep my shoulders in a relaxed position. However,
    the keyboard tends to slide down, and I'm always tugging it back
    up to keep it from falling off completely.

    This went to an extreme last week. I had subconciously moved the
    keyboard right up into my lap, which solved the sliding problem,
    but forced my wrists into a painful angle to match the Atreus
    layout. I hadn't realized I was doing this, and the pain had built
    up to quite a high level over a few weeks of use in this position.

    It took only one day of deliberately working with the keyboard
    back down on my knees to relieve the pain. That was a nice lesson
    in ergonomics!

    However, the issue remains - how to keep the keyboard at a
    comfortable distance down my legs, without it sliding away? Does
    anyone have any tips?

    Best,

    Tyler
