I have a Logitech keyboard with twelve extra buttons.
Most are for controlling Winamp, the others are for
starting programs. As quick access is also an aim of TLB,
I thought maybe people here might be into that type of
thing.
Does anyone here know of a particularly good 'extra
buttons' keyboard? What is the best or biggest you
have seen? In particular, I'm wondering if anyone knows
of add-on keyboards with these type of buttons. I've
only seen numerical keypads. It surprises me that
monitors don't have these type of buttons around the
screen.
Talking of monitors.. at work (a college for disabled people)
we have just aquired a new touch screen monitor. This is
not an old style clip-on one, it's seamlessly integrated with
the screen. Basically, in Windows, the mouse pointer
follows your finger and you re-prod to click. I haven't used
it much yet, but the experience of 'prodding' the start
button is bizarre and fascinating. Maybe it's just the
novelty, I'm not sure I'd like one for home. My finger tips
never felt so huge!
