Ergonomic iPad drawing stand for creatives
“I test iPad accessories for a living and this drawing stand is genius”
“Designed to deliver a more Wacom-like experience to iPad”
“Darkboard is meticulously designed for artists”
A versatile workspace — at your desk or on the go!
The Darkboard iPad drawing stand accommodates three different setups:
Easel Setup
Perfect for drawing or writing, this setup lays your Darkboard at a comfortable 30-degree angle.
Vertical Setup
Flip your Stand around to set up your Darkboard in a vertical, desktop-like position. This is great for using your iPad as a primary or secondary monitor while working.
In Your Lap
Use your Darkboard on its own to rest comfortably in your lap. Great for drawing on the couch or in bed!
An iPad stand designed for drawing and notetaking
Comfortable
No more hand cramps! Darkboard mimics steering wheel ergonomics to minimize fatigue during long drawing sessions.
Versatile
Darkboard has three setup options: Use the Foldable Stand for the Easel or Vertical setup, or use it solo on your lap!
Lightweight
Darkboard weighs less than the box it’s shipped in! It’s rigid enough to provide support and durability, while maintaining a lightweight profile.
Secure
The protective iPad cradle is made of polycarbonate, one of the strongest plastics available. Your iPad fits snuggly in the cradle so it won’t fall out.
Take the pain out of drawing
Crafted from Leatherfoam Cushion: Darkboard is made from premium EVA that balances sturdy rigidity with supportive cushion. It’s the same material used in high-performance sports equipment.
Grippy surface texture: The subtle grainy texture gives a comfortable grip while you’re seated in place or on the move.
Ergonomic grooved handles: Angular grooves closely mimic the ergonomics of steering wheels — designed to minimize fatigue during long drawing sessions.
