Maybe we're confused, but we were under the impression that the oft-delayed, mist-like device known as the Phantom Lapboard had been released to the public. Apparently, we were mistaken. Regardless, Maximum PC has gotten a thorough, in-depth look at the $130 pivoting keyboard / mouse / mousepad combo. We won't bore you with the details of their encounter with this beast -- which they claim is due in June now -- though we can tell you that they complain of a "wimpy" left mouse click, which frankly is a deal-breaker for 4/16ths of the Engadget editorial staff. The other 12/16ths don't like it because they had a bad experience with a matte black keyboard once.
