RF mini-keyboard?
kalkin:
I'm building a cab with a retractable keyboard shelf and now I'm looking for a suitable small cordless keyboard. I'm guessing an IR keyboard won't work since I want to be able to put it ontop the control panel without any IR receivers sticking out of the cab. Does anyone know if there are any RF mini-keyboards around? The only ones I found are IR.

You know, if you had a smoke monitor cover, you could have an IR reciever and noone would be able to tell... ;)
Of however you can accept no less then RF then try this Logitech solution...

You are looking for RF (RadioFrequency). This doesn't require any Line of Site. So perfect for a closed cabinet.
I bought one at big lots for 20 bucks. It also came with a RF mouse. But realized something... it SUCKED! I had to return it 3 times to get one that didn't work... I took it apart and fixed it myself.
Now, there is also nice RF keyboards and mice. They go for around 50 - 100 bucks. I hear these are REAL nice. If you plan on using them daily, I would recommend spending the extra cash.

I've been happy with logitech's wireless keyboard and mouse -- I wouldn't call it "mini", but it's not huge.

I had one of these also. No more RF-controlled devices in my cab! >:(
Anyway, when I'm done with my frontend keyboard should only be needed for service issues.
