Mini USB Keyboard

Cyberguys

My coworker handed me a Cyberguys! catalog, and I was flipping through it when I saw this gem. It's 8.74" L x 4.06" W x 0.63" H and only $30! Mine's on the way. It should be small enough to fit in my armrest...

You could get a compact illuminated keyboard that is nearly the same size for less...

True...

It's not illuminated, but it should fit inside my armrest--which is pretty small. Just throwing it out there for everyone (after ordering mine first!).

Couldn't you just get one from Fry's for $15? That's where I got mine and it fits great between the seat and the center console section.

Talking

a wirless keyboard in my opinion is a much better route to take... running LESS wires not more is the way to go.

try the gryration keyboard/mouse combo the wirless mini keyboard works awesome (the mouse too).

Be nice if there was a rechargable mini with a charging dock..could mount it between the center consoul and the passenger seat, just drop it in when not using it to charge it..

ok I have what might be a stupid question. Why would a keyboard be needed in the first place?

... because not every moment the carpc is in use.. will the driver be at the wheel.. a passenger.. or driver while stoped may want to use the computer to compose an email.. or create a play list.. or.. or....

All right. Should I get one of these Playstation2 USB keyboards or Remotes with a full QWERTY keyboard... the keyboard would be much easier.

Are these Logitech keyboards the same size as the Cyberguys ones?
