The structure is basically a steel plate on a ball joint. This makes it a universal platform since any keyboard with magnets at the back can attach to the steel plate.
The ball joint allows the plate to rotate continuously in a certain range so – according to the author – "it's easy to tent and tilt the keyboard to one's liking".
