Abstract
An accessory for a computer game can be placed on a table top or in a person's lap. The accessory has a pair of extensions which can be moved between retracted and exposed positions. In the retracted position, the extensions serve as legs which support the accessory on a table top. In their exposed position, the extensions extend from a bottom or side edge of the accessory and wrap partially around the player's lap, enhancing the stability of the accessory. The accessory can also include a contoured underside having concavities sized and spaced to fit against the lap of the game player.
