onn 8.1" Core Tablet, 64 GB, Android 16, Blue (2026 Model)

26" x 14" Wooden Lap Desk - $209 - Note, I've had similar setups on desks Like this too. This desk is the maximum that'll fit between the arms of my chair. The weight helps a lot for stability but the lighter one was pretty stable too. Gladiator NXT EVO with SCG Premium Right Grip $139 Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle - Left Hand $149 GNX MFH Multi-Functional Holder $18 GNX THQ Throttle Quadrant $79 GNX USB Controller HID-Main $13.50 STECS STEM Standard Throttle Extension Module $47.50 Streamdeck XL $250 Belkin 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub Industrial Strength Velcro Roll 2" wide $21 Note: Last I looked VKB still has an active coupon code "Karolinger" for a minor discount. Note that the GNX modules in the center are just that, modular, they can be put together and linked up in all sorts of setups so there's no need to do this exactly. I mostly went with this setup because I had the STEM and wasn't using it. I almost used a GNX SEM modules, but I didn't do it because it looked pretty similar to the STEM. I could add the SEM next to the THQ but then it's a tight fit and I'd have to put the sticks wider, assuming I'd even have enough room. Also something like this 7" budget tablet for $97 fits easily where the StreamDeck is. The 8.1 size of that also fits but it's it's very tight fit and can't be put beneath the STEM module. Also there's no reason you couldn't do this with their gunfighter joysticks instead. That'd give you the ability to hot swap grips. You also get smoother action on the base though you lose the base buttons. I'd been planning to give this a try as I haven't been using the gunfighters I have for the cockpit much. That said the GNX Gladiator is more than enough stick for 99% of people. The grips between them are identical it's only the base that is different. I' Also when putting down velcro on a lapboard to mount components, use the soft side on the board and mount the hook side to the components you want to mount. You don't want to be resting your hands on the hook side of velcro. This is a pretty secure mounting setup, I can leave all those components with the board 90 degrees vertical and they will stay in place. When I moved those gladiators from an old lapboard I had to this one I needed to use a wrench to pry them off the board. The key is surface area. The more surface area contact you have, the more secure it is, but you can get a pretty good lockup with surprisingly little contact areas. When the velcro's new it can take a little wiggling to get it to open up and make a good connection.

Sure, pick, they've been getting good reviews and have little to no bloat installed. ONN8 [ONN7] (https://www.walmart.com/ip/ONN-7-CORE-BLU-G5/18523851311?classType=VARIANT&athbdg=L1103)

Going to throw out this super cheap and nice Android tablet I've been using, since my older Kindle tablet was EOL'd by the 32 bit to 64 bit switch: https://www.walmart.com/ip/ONN8-BLU-TABLET/18593964369 Pros: It's so damn cheap at $138 USD atm. I actually paid less, I got an open box model for I think $80? It's worked totally fine. Everything was in the box and it was basically brand new. 64 GB of storage is plenty, with an SD card slot for expansion so I have a 512GB one in there for movies/TV shows. Works out well for long flights with questionable wifi coverage 6GB of RAM, so plenty for OSRS plus some light multi tasking or other apps/games Android 16 and it's a clean version of it unlike Samsung/Amazon/etc. IIRC it's bootloader unlockable too, Walmart apparently doesn't care. I have had no issues with the basic Android setup but someday might unlock it and see if any custom ROMs are nicer. Battery life is solid, I've had it last through an 8 hour flight home from Europe and multiple other 4-5 hour flights too. For OSRS specifically I'll play for hours until I notice it's low on battery. Typically I can play for a long grind, get yelled at by RuneScape to stop and then notice my battery is at like 20%. It's USB-C anyway so I sometimes just plug it in if I'm doing something where I really don't want it to die (quests, wildy stuff, etc). Cons: The stupid color. How the F is there no basic black? I went with Blue, it was the least ugly color The screen is low res. 1000 x 1524 resolution is not "clear viewing" imo but it works fine at the same time. It's better than the Kindle I had, but I'd prefer a normal 1080p res or ideally 2k for better quality. Plus more res would make the OSRS interface easier to use, it's a bit jammed in there but totally usable at the same time. Pretty sure the CPU is weaker than most modern Android/iOS tablets, but that's the downside to only spending $138 Limited case selection since Onn is a Walmart brand and not super popular. I found a basic black case for $15 or so though, so it's fine, but don't expect a lot of options. I've had this thing for a few months now, since the 32 bit depreciation went live, and I love it. It's 64 bit so future proofed and it's so cheap, that if this thing dies I'll just buy another every year or two. Hoping like many of my other cheap ass Android devices it'll last forever. I still have a Moto G5 I got for like $50 at Walmart prepaid, never activated it and I use that thing as a small bike computer (it just runs Open Street Maps/OSM with offline maps lol, previously used Strava but got annoyed by losing wifi and having no map, and not paying for offline maps because I'm cheap). I did look at other tablets, but I really dislike the Samsung/Amazon/etc skins over Android and haven't used an iOS device in over a decade (iPod Touch on iOS 3 or 4 I think) so I wanted to stick to the ecosystem I'm used to, barebones Android. Sucks there's no modern Google tablet (Pixel, or whatever they used to make), but this Onn tablet is sort of a cheap option that fits that niche. I also leave it running while I WFH so I can AFK woodcutting, smithing, mining, fishing, etc. Fits well on my desk without distracting me too much lol.
