Why in the hell did they make it run on batteries?  Seems like a USB cable would be fine.  Who wants to have to recharge their keyboard every 2 hours?  ???

Because it's wireless?  ::)

A mini USB port like you find on a digital camera might not be a bad idea, though.  You've gotta have a connector for charging anyway, might as well make it a USB connector.  Enables compatibility with non-Bluetooth systems and devices, too.

my, uh, wife saw this on CSI: Miami a few weeks ago.   :blah:

MYX:

But would you really want that big honkin monolith sitting between you and the monitor? :P

It would be cool if you could fit it into your bezel.

As for seeing it before... I first saw the prototype a year+ ago... the difference... their in stock now.

But come on... your friends are over, they say something like 'can we change a dip switch on this game' or more likely 'I remember having 5 guys per quarter'... and you flip a switch, and a picture of a keyboard shows up above your joystick... and you hit esc, tab, down arrow ect... then set it...

Also would be cool for frontends to allow you to search for a specific game with a keyboard... or maybe type in your name for favorites...  All of which most arcade machine specific frontends don't really allow because they don't expect a keyboard easy to access...

I don't think I would spend the money... but if I was rich...  come on lotto!
