Yea, my keyboard is out of easy reach as well. I'm mostly racing these days, so I don't really need it. Not that I could do all that much with it while at race intensity. I don't do much with the in-game stuff like ride-ons and such.
I have recently been setting the tablet nearby on a shelf while racing to help keep track of the huge group of riders in the race. (Just scrolling the live results to track the lead qualified group). I also had it for the group recovery ride last night-- it was kind-of nice to be able to chat a bit to pass the time on the recovery ride.
I'm trying to look at the limited course selection as a positive -- since I'm mostly racing and getting more competitive within the C group I'm finding courses that suit me well and those that don't. I'm getting a sense of where I tend to get dropped and where I can potentially drop others, where I can likely jump to a faster group after we get split without bringing the slow group up with me, where to start my sprints, etc.
Even so, more courses are good. I think they'd be well served to actually connect all three worlds (four by the spring) with a bit of road so that you could move between them. But they do continue to update Watopia a couple times a year and London received a minor update a little while ago as well.
