I've been looking at one of these for awhile, so I can ditch the keyboard altogether when playing poker (i.e. right hand on mouse, left hand on numpad):

Does anyone have one or one similar? Do you like it?

For anyone interested, you can add a wireless mouse which works on the same receiver for just a few bucks more. Search buy.com for Part #CDX5N4

Default Gyration Mouse

Along the same lines, I was wondering if anyone has tried the Gyration Mouse. I have visions of sitting in my jacuzzi holding the mouse and playing online.
I sometimes do this with the laptop resting on my knees. Not very safe - for the laptop or me!
Anyway, gyration feedback would be appreciated.

I don't like the small enter key, but I love the backlighting! That's really nice.

The enter key is standard.

Some keyboards have oversized enter keys, though.

That smallish enter key has become standard since they started adding on more and more crap buttons onto keyboards. A big fat L-shaped enter key was made popular by IBM on its typewriters and was easy to find on keyboards until a few years ago. Most typists I've talked to like it a lot better. It's getting more and more aggravating trying to find it, though.

What's even more aggravating is when they make the shift keys the same size as regular keys. That's brutal.
