    So you can hold your 'stylus' in the other :D
    Soz :rolleyes:

    Seems a little weird really, though like the idea that the space bar is used to change the letters over...

    Myke, you're gonna need more than a dremel to build something like that :lol:

    Like to see it tried though

    I remember seeing a keyboard made with 5 or so buttons which was supposed to revolutionise the industry, think it may have been on "Tommorows World" (UK prog) many moons ago.

    Darkside...You may have a point! I was just planning on cutting my keyboard in half... Won't that work? :lol:

    Yeah remember it... sounded cool though was stupid!

    Anyone see the one that was projected onto the desk with a lazer and recognised keypresses by the reflections sent back... that was cool :D

    Gimme a couple of hours, I'll run and get my "service keyboard" from the car and try it...... If it all goes Pete Tong, I'll just order another from the guys at Build :lol:

    Yea but what about a HTPC?
    Imagine putting a mini-ITX AND this keyboard in a Maplin project box, may be with a really small finger trackball too, oh and a 5" TFT display. That would be REAL cool.
