Gah! Mousing Injury! Bring out the field doc, quick!

#1 Post by Drezdon » Wed Feb 22, 2006 12:03 pm

OK, I've searched high and low, far and wide, and I cannot find what I want for less than ~$100!

Specifically, I would like to find a keyboard for my desk, which I can plug into my docking station for my T43, which is similar to my Thinkpad keyboard. Meaning, I want a keyboard with the [censored] eraser head mouse!

Like this.

If I could find an ergonomic split keyboard with the eraser mouse (does anyone else call them "mouse c***"'s?), I'd be even happier!

Thanks for the help so far, folks!

Here's another variation on the theme from IBM for you to consider..... http://www-131.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/store ... d=10000001

Go to IBM.com and buy it: here is the link

Costs $99.

Apparently you have to take the UltraNav these days, I cannot find a new keyboard without the UltraNav at the main keyboard page.

Search on eBay for older keyboards ... they had several with TrackPoints on them.

I think the vendor at ClickyKeyboards.com can help you...
