Rackmount Keyboards?
« on: September 21, 2004, 03:37:59 am »
I was at my Dad's work when something caught my eye. A keyboard with a very small trackball built in (about 0.5")! After searching a bit it looks like it was this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33964&item=5124553621&rd=1

Not cheap. I'm wondering if anybody knows of something like this that is cheaper. I want to hack the trackball portion of it and install it into a micro cab. These are the smallest trackballs I have heard of other than those 8mm ones from a thread a while back. I would prefer not to have to use one of those thumb trackballs, as they are quite a bit bigger.

Thanks!

Still not cheap, but getting closer at $59.

Damn, I'm having no luck with links tonight.....

Here's a picture, it's an Adesso black mini keyboard with trackball, PS/2, 88 keys.

There was an amazing wireless one someone posted a while ago.

It was a keyboard and a trackball.. plus it had a handle on the top.  Anyone have a link to it?

Cool, thanks!

I found this one on that pricewatch link ($33.99):
http://www.coolerexpress.com/wikewba.html
Does anybody know about this company, coolerexpress.com?

I still wish I could find it cheaper since I am only going to be using it for the trackball.

Edit: Check this out:

Looks pretty cool! The only thing I would be worried about is opening it up with a laser pointer in there. Does anybody have experience with these?
