Fellow redditor Lenbok published a 3D-printed bottom plate/case to lock a Humla in place:

Just whipped up a bumper case this weekend with a bottom that is customized for my laptop to let it sit in place over the existing keyboard without activating any of the buttons and keeping it essentially locked in place – Lenbok.

As commenters pointed out, many laptops use the keyboard for heat exhaust, so make sure it doesn't overheat while you're using such a setup.

Resources

STLs and the OpenSCAD code are available in the author's github repo.

Essentially all you need to do to adapt for a different laptop is to create a KLE layout for the laptop and suck that json in as described in the README in my repo) – Lenbok.
