After daily driving this kb for more than a year, I can safely say that I am very happy with the placement. I don't look at the screens often, but from time to time I do and in those cases I am always quite grateful for having them. Most of the time they just look nice though...
Feel free to expand on the idea! It's always exciting to see how this community iterates on each others creations, all the more flattering when my humble contribution can serve as an inspiration for something new!
