Keyboard and mouse in one

Posted by Tiago

Sanwa keyboard

If for some odd reason you don’t find the mouse easy to use, and actually want a 2-in-1 product, pay attention to the latest keyboard launched by Sanwa, from Japan.

As you can see on the image, the keyboard has a touchpad below the keys that works as the mouse - pretty similar to a laptop configuration. There are 2 versions of the Sanwa keyboard, one that has wires and works via USB, and the other version is wireless.

Maybe this keyboard was made with a specific (small) group of people in mind, because I don’t know many that would change a normal mouse with a touchpad. Do you?

The wireless version would be a major plus for an HTPC/PVR.

Are there any pricing available? If reasonable, I’d get a wireless one for my PVR.

Thanks for the comment, Nick.

I don’t know the price of this Sanwa keyboard, but I found other keyboards with similar features that can be seen on the following link:

It’s very handy for people who use a wireless keyboard for their media centre. When you are sitting on the couch with a keyboard, you can’t use a mouse….
