Mini Wireless Keyboard for your cab

Nephasth:

I've been searching for a small, very small, keyboard with a trackball that is connected and powered via USB, I don't want wifi or bluetooth. I've found some that are close to what I was looking for that are for use in cars, not exactly what I was hoping to find though. I also found some cool stainless steel industrial bolt on keyboards, but could never find a site actually selling them, or a distributor for that matter. Then I came across the app for Blackberries that allows a Blackberry to be used as a computer keyboard through either usb, bluetooth, or wifi. Since I already have a Blackberry that I don't use, the price works great for me.

This one goes on sale for $30 w/free shipping every so often.

Been tempted, but never ordered one because I don't really need it.

I have been using this little keyboard for a little while, and I am very happy with it. It just works. It is so much easier than the wireless keyboard and mouse I have been using for years. I haven't even had to remote in yet because this thing seems to be fully functional. I forget to turn it off all the time, and it shuts itself down. It has been a little over 2 weeks, and I haven't had to recharge the battery.

I think it is expensive, but I would pay it again in a heartbeat. Convenience is worth a little extra cost.

I have one of the lenovo ones.   Is it very handy and does work pretty well.  There are a few things I do not like about it though.  There are no F1 - F12 keys on it.   Not even with a shift buttons.  So that is a little frustrating at times, but not very often.   I also forget there is an on/off switch on the back.   I forget to shut it off and the batteries die pretty often.   Glad I have rechargeable batteries for mine.  Just wanted to put my two cents in there on the short comings of the Lenovo one.
