It is completely steady when not bothered. Nonetheless, I would think about eradicating lighter keyboards earlier than I needed to relocate the stand. Heavier metallic boards keep in place, however gentle plastic ones could fall off when moved round, particularly with out cork that would offer some traction.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo my verdict above solely applies to the 4&#8243;\/10 cm large KDS-3 variant with out cork pads.
