About:

In addition to touch screen control, I also wanted a wireless mobile keyboard/mouse combo from which I could control the unit. After searching around for quite some time, I ran across a company by the name of Bluelogic. Their Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, which supports Windows 98 - XP operating systems, comes complete with the keyboard and wireless Bluetooth controller. The Bluetooth controller attaches directly to an available USB port, and the best part is that it requires absolutely no drivers to install, it utilizes the built-in HID USB drivers.

The Keyboard itself has 88 keys and 11 hot keys. From left to right the hot keys complete the following functions: media player start, pause/play, stop, mute, volume up, volume down, full screen view, Internet Explorer, system sleep, Outlook Express, power off computer. These function keys are hard coded and can not be changed. The keyboard itself is very light and compact making it easy to carry around and handle. The trackball features a ring built around it which resists contaminants such as food and drink spilled on it.
