flat keyboard

Jiffyman · 06-18-2005, 09:37 AM

I was just wondering if theres such a thing as a flat keyboard well maybe not completely flat cause that would be bad for you so i guess what I mean instead of having keys it would have sorta touch pad

sorry if i am confusing you my keyboards kinda broke so i have to use the on-screen keyboard

Yes, there are touch-sensor keyboards, like this one:

But they aren't cheap at all (300$+) and it's not a very ergonomic solution for a normal PC-user.

There's the roll out ones too

They're much cheaper.

Ah yes... I didn't post one of those because they are only for PDAs(or where) Plus I hear they are hard to use. Back when I first got my PDA, I considered getting one of those.

I didn't, though, because it would be hard to type in my lap

Ya, but you would have a free built-in joystick.

That would be tight to have a virtual keyboard but I don't think I would be stable and very hard to work with

Oh by the way the other one can you post a link cause thats exactly what I'm looking for

And lorland that looks like what I was thinkin before but my question is why so big I have a phone with touch pad like that and it's not nearly as big sorr it may seem like a stupid question and I don't even know why I'm asking you cause you didn't make it but oh well

That particular keyboard is made for use with medical equipment, so it must withstand shocks, dirt, etc., etc.

Logitech makes a keyboard that comes with a mouse, and is a wireless set. It is very thin, if that is what you are looking for. Thinnest thing iv'e ever seen
