Not sure if anyone has seen this before, but it is pretty sweet. And Useless..

Just letting the world know this useless information :O If you buy one right now, tell me, i'll come over and watch. (it has to be hard to see the letters in mid morning.)

 

Yeah I have seen it before except it was infered I think.

Good for in-car computers ^^

If your looking for a more traditional bluetooth keyboard/mouse microsoft and logitech have what you need.

I think this one is pretty cool:

because its rechargable, I hate swaping batteries.

 

Yes, those pictures have been floating around for quite a while already. Sure, they are cool, but they are, in my opinion, rather impractical. Laser and infrared just doesn't give you the same feel as a conventional ones.

 

Well, good suggestion on the keyboard, but no way in shiznit am I going to pay 200$ on a keyboard any time soon. Rather, I looked at the Microsoft Optical Desktop Elite for Bluetooth :

Why does it say you GET 50.00$ ? What's the catch, I'm missing something...

 

Well, since I already have a Logitech MX1000 cordless, I might as well go for a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823126009&ATT=23-126-009&CMP=OTC-17exta6 or something with back lights and multimedia features. If you can name off other keyboards like that, please do.

What's the deal with the 50$ phones!?

 

I was away sorry for the delay, I was reading about 50 reviews on that keyboard I linked Its all good reviews and I found it for 150$ shiped... im kinda tempted

I have my main pc, im building a 2nd pc, and im building a notebook. It would be nice to have one keyboard like that to use with all 3.

As for the "you get 50$" stuff. Its because alot of the mid to lower end phones are free when you get a contract with a cell company. Usually 2 years but maybe only 1 year for a lesser phone. Then with the additon of rebates you can actully "get 50$" thats real. Just make sure the rebate terms are easy or that its an instant rebate.


My Sony w600 was a 300$ phone or somthing crazy like that but it was free after all the rebates. But it was hard to get them all as the first 50$ rebate was instant so no issues there, then the 100$ rebate was after 3 months of paying my bill on time in full every month. Then a 150$ rebate after 6 months of paying my bill every month on time in full. So any mistakes or any lost bills = no rebate.

Note: just because a phone supports blue tooth does not mean it can run or has avalible the software to use it as a computer remote, thats mostly high end stuff. Your best bet would be a simbiant based phone, those are like mini computers.

note: if you like that one keyboard you linked you may also really like the one I have/use. Saitek Gamers.

Best key response of any keyboard I have used, I love how it feels and its backlit and has a detachable program pad that you can set macros and stuff with.
