USB Multi-Touch Pad and Numeric Keyboard Mashup
Posted on October 9th, 2009 No comments
Multi-touch is the new, erm, normal-touch, and everyone is getting in on it. It’s easy to see why — moving your fingers over a flat pad is much easier on the wrists than mice and trackballs (for me at least) and you can invoke a lot of intuitive actions (zoom, scroll, twist) without really thinking about it.
Now Elecom is getting in on the multi-touch game, only with a twist. The TK-TCT005BK is a combination USB touchpad and number pad. Press the familiar “num” button on the top edge and it works just like a numeric keypad. Obviously aimed at laptop owners who lack a separate number pad, the device could also add multi-touch to your desktop PC. And PC it will be. Elecom’s pad only works with Windows . Perhaps that’s what the “BS” button is for. ¥4,200 (), available in Japan.
