can't REALLY take the place of an arcade trackball in my opinion but it's better than that keyboard...
seems like we have a lot of trackball posts lately -- are a lot of people trackball adverse or what?

Hey Vidmouse, that looks pretty neat. I would like to hear from someone who has tried this on a control panel. It might save some real esate on a small or crowded control panel. I'd just like some opinions from people who have tried it, before I loose nearly enough money to buy a good happs off ebay.
As for replacing a trackball with a small keyboard that has a touch pad... let's dont even go there!

that would be a nice unit to put on a keyboard tray under your control panel, that you could pull out and use when you needed to do windows stuff, but mounting a keyboard on your control panel just isnt a good idea.

If I ever need access to the keyboard or mouse, I just lift up the control panel. I say go wireless if you really need to.
DarkBubble:
Unless you're a Typing of the Dead fanatic, a keyboard on the panel is a no-no.

I agree. I'm using the exact same keyboard on my keyboard tray. I like it and it's got a small footprint.
