Comment Keyboarding from the couch ain't easy (Score 1) 95
That lapboard is huge.
About a year ago I built a MythTV PVR for my wife who is not really into computers. We had a similar keyboard human interface problem with regard to couch-friendliness.
We ended up finding a tiny import "SEJIN SPR-8696WT FreeBoard Trackball Wireless Keyboard" that's 11.5" x 6", has an integrated trackball and infrared. It works great on the couch, tolerates moderate chucking and I still haven't had to replace the batteries.
This is somewhat hard to find online now that I'm looking for it but I did find a few -mostly non-US- links.
- Loads of photos on this Korean page
- Manufacturer's page in English
- Some UK reseller's page
- Brief reference here in French ("Mini-clavier," hah)
Disclaimer: Apart from liking the product I don't have a damn thing to do with these websites, the manufacturer or resellers.
