I've had a look on the net to see if there are any other mini keypads like this one, and i see Xbox do one for the 360. It has a lot more keys on it, but seems a bit more bulky, and i don't think you can use it without an Xbox controller.
If anyone else knows of a tiny tiny little usb keyboard (approx 6inch long) i'd definitely trade a of box of cookies for a link. Otherwise i think i'll go get this PS3 one.
Oh bollocks, you live in Newcastle too, can't blame excessive postage for not sending them then
Actually i did have a look at that earlier today. But what i'm really looking for is a tiny keyboard with separate number keys, rather than having to shift+ (this is primarily for FSX). There are a few around the 8inch mark like that one above, but i really need one about 6 inchs to fit in the space on my yoke.
Failing that, i was thinking of buying a cheap PDA and hooking it up to the pc and using it as an extra input device. Just not sure how easy it is to set that up ?
Wow that does deserve a cookie. That's real sweet that is, cheers
But, yet another example of rip-off Britain $150 US with an exchange rate of approx 2-1, so yes we're paying £100 GB. It's nice but a bit pricey.
Actually i've had a good scan around the net and realised i'd completely forgotten about Joy2key. That should do away with the need to shift+ everything and bring it all back to one a touch keystroke type thing. So perhaps that PS3 keypad will do the trick after all.
@Ash, yeah, as far as i can tell it's all plug and play, exactly like any other standard keyboard out there. But if you use Joy2key you'll be able to fully programme it to do just about anything you want.
I've sent a PM to the OP asking this, but incase he doesn't reply, does anybody know the best way to attach one of these to the wheel?
I've just ordered one from Amazon (logic3 instead of madcatz though) and I'm wondering if it's easy to attach it securely, my initial idea is some velcro, but something more sturdy would be better.
I used silicone. Extremely strong and possible to remove if you really need to. I attached the cradle to the wheel with silicone btw, not the keyboard directly
I used the plastic bracket that comes with the kp, cut off the curvy parts and drilled a hole for one of the g25 bolts to go thru with a large washer, also added a small bit of double-sided tape between bracket and wheel.
I picked one of these up today from my local Best Buy. This thing looks great, and will work double duty as a wireless KB for my HTPC. $20 US out the door
