Er.... except, do they have a model with 10-key? No 10-key is a deal breaker for me.
Useful for guys with small hands. Or gals. Or helicopters. Whatever.
Hard to type with big hands.
The only thing I dislike about it is the power option. Only powered via coin cell batteries. No USB power? No rechargeables?
I'm looking to build a Raspberry Pi "doomsday" device powered by rechargeable batteries and solar in a small weather proof enclosure such as a Pelican case. Been looking around at different options for the different parts I will need and so far I haven't found a good keyboard I want to use. This one fits the size category very well, but I'm not sure how easy it'll be to obtain coin cell batteries when SHTF.
Maybe someone, somewhere, makes some sort of USB adapter for a coin cell battery slot? Seems it might add more complications than I want.
Get some rechargable coin cell battries? https://tinyurl.com/5cey6b38
If the keyboard has no power input, how would they recharge? Taking them out and needing another device to charge them to swap them back? Lots of complications there.
Nah, this is the most portable keyboard ever:
Unfortunately it is discontinued, all you can get is cheap Chinese knockoffs.
It is miles better than a touchpad, especially when used in a moving vehicle.
Wow, never seen that one before. I've got a few micro BT keyboards laying around from days when I was tinkering with the notion of using them with HTPCs.
I had one of those back when I had a HTPC. Big fan of the trackball, the keyboard not so much and it desperately needed backlighting since I was always using it in the dark. It just up and died on me one day, and then learned they didn't sell them anymore. Just went with a Logitech K400 which was.... fine.... just bigger. That one worked pretty well until I tipped over a full glass of red wine directly into the thing. I don't do HTPC anymore so no real need any more.
Apparently there was a backlit version also.
I have a k400, and I despise it. It is unusable held in hand and the trackpad is so bad, I need to scratch it for minutes to get the pointer to the other side of the screen. And half the time it registers trying to move the cursor as clicks.
I had at least one version in that line... they've never upgraded the trackpad, and that's the one thing that would make a keyboard like that useful, IMO. I'd probably buy one in a heartbeat to replace the full-size MX Keys I'm using for the HTPC (only wireless keyboard I have right now).
As it stands... aside from some 25-year old Toughbooks I used once, the K400 is in the running for the worst touchpad ever.
wow. mine sure wasn't
I am in agreement the trackpad on the k400 is lousy. It is also not wine proof :)
Might not be any good, but should survive wine spillage https://www.newegg.com/logitech-k310-920-004033-usb-wired/p/N82E16823126301
ok sure.... but... cord stretched across living room to HTPC would lead to more random wine accidents
Not sure the cord is the issue here :p
One of my first htpc builds used a ~30ft USB cable that wrapped along the walls and under the couch to a keyboard and mouse that was mostly used just for troubleshooting issues.
I later upgraded that to a wireless Logitech keyboard with trackpad, but now I just use a Nvidia shield with Plex.
