 Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 11:50 am Post subject: Different types of keyboards |
 |
|
I have been a little irritated the last few weeks because of my keyboard and my mouse (especially with my laptop). I tend to write and move my mouse a lot at the same time.
So what happens is that I move my rigth hand many times back from the keyboard to the mouse, and back to the keyboard again. And soon my hand feels dead 
What I have been looking for is a keyboard with a mouse built in. I remember that there was years ago a keyboard divided in "two pieces". It didn't get popular at all I think, and haven't seen many of those since then. Besides it was pretty large and had no mouse. If I could decide, I think it should have a trackball included pretty near the right hand.
Then I have seen a solution which has two different parts, each containing the keyboard for the left and right hand. No mouse in it either. But it couldn't be too hard to have the right part built as a keyboard-mouse-thingy.
I have also heard about a pyramid (?) which can control both keyboard and mouse at the same time.
Made a fast scetch too:
So, anyone seen these keyboards? Manufacturer? Other types of keyboards? Own ideas? |

Found something interesting:

Altough it's just a prototype (or not at least in production)
But I have seen commercial versions too... Still looking for it  |

Take a look at the demonstration videos: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~azagnoev/mouse/Video/Demonstration%20video.htm
One problem with these mouse-keyboard combinations is that the right part should be pretty low in weight. Therefore the mouse sensitivity should be set high (as you see in the clips) so that you wouldn't need to move it much.
... Still looking for the "gloves" |
