Looks interesting. I love touchpads and the other functions sound good.

Hey thats pretty cool

americanskiff · 05-29-2008, 09:09 AM

I thought so....also says its compatible with MCE

The touchpad looks pretty neat.

I wonder how this would work: I currently use a mini wireless kbd from mp3car store, and generally control with the trackball.

If I have my mini kbd AND the GiSTEQ plugged into usb ports at the same time, could it work to use either as the mouse controller, or would they fight??.....

Otherwise, it would be a pain to plug and un-plug usb receviers just to switch between touchpad and wireless kbd.

I think Im going to order it tonight to use with my laptop in my truck. Im not sure about your problem with it working with a wireless keyboard. Ill let everyone know how it is after I get it...

Yea and I just got the email saying it shipped today.

The kids get mad because they sit in the back and can't change XM channels and can't pause /play the movies.

Now they can ......... if my wife doesn't take control of it .

It looks like there is a good chance this will do it....what Front end are you running? Nothing else there is a touchpad for mouse movements

I'm running RR with the standard skin.

I have a touchpad already that works fine, just need something more mobile

americanskiff · 05-30-2008, 03:06 PM

This is mobile for sure.....it did look like a play button forward and reverse and volume on it..dont know if it will work with RR. Hopefully it will. Im not sure what frontend im going to run yet. RR or G-Net or maybe just Xp no front end. I really like the look of the new iTunes with the fullscreen album covers that are reflected and is easy to see

hailrazer · 05-30-2008, 03:13 PM

Here's some more ino on it and it says it has volume control on the second line under "features":
