Eldmannen Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Depends how you define "computer". Alot of stuff are "computers". And you can login remotely to a computer using SSH or telnet or something then use it even though that computer dont have any keyboard. I've never used a computer locally without a keyboard though as it heavily restricts the productivity and usefulness. The button dont go down since there is no button on those virual laser keyboards, so I guess it is a little strange to type on them. Do you think they work good?

zaphirer Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I've used that at a mall, a year ago or so. A IR laser beam points at different spots on the keyboard and 'activtes' when the beam is broken. It's cool, and doesn't feel weird, but there is a slight delay when typing. Hopefully that was resolved in the newer version, like the one in the cell phone.
