    I wanted a lighted keyboard for the docked CF-30 MK2 at the desk. I had some CF-VKBL03's and tried a modified USB cable with a PS2 / USB adapter. No Smoke. The mouse and keyboard both work. :D

    You can get usb A male to usb A male leads ready-made which I think would be OK wouldn't they?

    Your post made me realise that I'd really like a wireless version of that to use with my pc from my favourite armchair. My wireless keyboard and optical mouse (from Logitech) works well enough but a keyboard with touchpad would be simpler - and the mouse wouldn't disappear down the side of the cushion when I doze off :)

    Thanks Blair, I had no idea they were available. Guess that means I need to get out more... or spend more time online... or something.

    Thanks Onirakkiss!

    "Mini gyroscope fly air mouse" puts me in mind of the wii controller that I've seen on TV though... and therefore something to be avoided.

    Like trendy trainers, this year's jeans, open-top sports cars, motorcycles less than 50 years old, Tinie Tempah, Arcade Fire, sleeveless t-shirts (kidding :D)...

    "Over 60? step away from the cool stuff! It looks stupid on you!"

    Definitely something a little bit spooky about the way the cursor follows the movement of the device so closely isn't there? Like it's watching... self-aware... :eek:

    Great little device but I think I need the bigger keys of the K400.
