Black USB wireless keyboard with trackball/touchpa

Post by toasty » Mon Jul 21, 2003 2:14 pm

You wouldn't believe how rare these are....

At least I can't find one on the internet!! [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I want it black to match the Xbox that I'm using it with, wireless so I can browse the net without cables everywhere, USB because the Xbox doesn't support serial/ps2 and with a trackball/touchpad so I don't have to use a table.

I can't find one anywhere.

Anyone know of a supplier?
Cheers

Dan, couple of options -

1. A wireless USB keyboard with at least one USB replicator port built-in - then you can plug a std USB track-ball in.

2. A PS2 keyboard with built-in trackball, mated to a PS2 to USB adapter.

3. USB bluetooth connection between X-box and Virgin handset, with VPN connection over PPP to your home broadband connection. Then via a wireless ADSL router to laptop fitted with trackpad ?? [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Actually after a further bit of research found this UK company

http://www.inpace.com/wkeyboard.html

Although it is not USB you can get a PS2 to USB adaptor which may be useful

THe RF may be better than IR as well

Ideal for use in the car as it will fit in the glove box, definitely my choice as it can work in front or rear of car without the need to have line of sight to the PC

Hope this helps

Cheers
