I hate to write this, but "mee too"!. 

I sit in my sofa with the MnM in my lap, the sequencer/knobs/display
in front of me, the keyboard sticks out to the right. Used some
pillows to keep it level with my lap.

Ergonomically, Elektron has messed up. For example: The display vs
knobs vs keyboard. If you use the MnM normally you play stuff with
your right hand, and then tweak sounds with your left hand. Is it
possible to have a look at the display to see what is going on?
No. Your left arm covers the display...

If you put the MnM on a keyboard stand you will have to strain your
neck all the time to see what is going on in the display.

To me it is obvious that the MnM was developed as a desktop box
without the kleyboard. Remove the keyboard and lots of stuff falls
into place.
