Good Deal on Mini Keyboard
VoltaTom:
Thanks for this! It wouldn't work for me with PayPal but worked fine (I hope) with Google Checkout.
BadMouth:
Received mine today and they are perfect. Have them hooked up to computers 5ft apart + another 2.4ghz keyboard being used and they work great without interfering with each other. (can't say that for the Lenovo mini keyboard that I have)
You can't really hold them like your texting on a phone because of the touchpad being on the side, but for games that require a mouse or keys not on my panel, they'll do the job.
These two will find their way into the driving cabs.
I'm considering ordering another pair if the deal is still available.

I'm looking forward to getting mine. Order says it hasn't even shipped yet.... I'm impatient :angry:

Hey BadMouth do you think these keyboards would be suitable to play ScummVM games or are they a little small to use for extended periods of time? I want to have a wireless keyboard in my arcade for old Sierra/LucasArts games and these keyboards look awesome, but if they are super tiny I may have to go with a keyboard that is slightly larger.

Not in my opinion. It is pretty small. The actual keyboard area not including the top row of other buttons is only 1.5"x4". It's kinda weird because your right hand has to reach across the trackpad. That throws the whole texting on a phone feel out the window. I ended up using my index finger on the right side of the keyboard instead of my thumb. It would be good for typing in searches on a HTPC, but not for any real typing. The trackpad works really well though and would be fine for the point and click parts.
The Lenovo Dinovo one I have feels great to type on with your thumbs because of the way it's held, but the mouse sucks and it doesn't work when near other 2.4Ghz devices.
