Quest for 8" keyboard

Is there any alternative to Traveler keyboard of about the same size - 8", at most 9" width?

No, I didn't buy it yet. I'm thinking about putting a keyboard right under 8" Lilliput on a gooseneck mount, hence The Quest

Yes, I love this one

Unfortunately it's 11"+ long, way too big for my setup

Well, you could do what I did and hack off the sides. (I haven't filled it yet) or take it out of the case completely.

I looked at a zippy once, didn't like it for the money. Nice size though and the backlight is a plus.

Oh yes, just like this

Except I'll probably turn the keyboard other way around

I just threw it there so you could see

My keyboard is getting wedged in the double din.

I'm thinking of actually just replacing the case. It's literally only as big as the keypad inside. It's one solid metal piece with all the keys attached and a tiny circuit board with the leds.
