Overall I was much happier with this version. Legend and American used to smell so good. But anyway after a year or so the replacement unit had exactly the same problem. The mechanical feel of the keyboard may take a little getting used to, but for me it harks back to the old days where all keyboards were built this way. These should not be used for critical listening. Also there is a strap on the bottom that is not shown in any pictures - you are supposed to wrap it around the back of the tire and it is a really annoying extra step (although it does provide a bit of extra stability). It worked for a good while but on a recent ride the computer was where it was supposed to be, a bit later not. Clamp arm design. Yes it can handle the full width of at least two monitors. I really like the color & the straps over the top of the foot.
