Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Yes, I'm sure that you can find them on a regular keyboard...they are a little more expensive...but more reliable I think.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I think you can buy a separate touchpad and use it in conjunction with your current keyboard. My uncle had one of the first ones before the laptops had them. touch pads OK--everyone with a touch pad instead of a mouse---I've seen them on laptops, but do they come on a regular keyboard too? I'm thinking of getting one if they do. Thanks for any input. KathyPlease visit our website at:http://ACES_Autoimmune.tripod.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Thanks! I do need a new keyboard--this one is ancient. The only thing is that each keyboard has slightly different spacing so a new one will slow my typing for awhile--but, what the hell, I guess I've got plenty of time.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I figured I'd have to adjust to it---is it easier on your hands?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I think it is. No cramping of the fingers and nothing to have to hold on to.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Kathy - I have one of those rounded keyboards and it has a touch pad on it. I don't remember where I got it, either Wal-Mart or at Staples or some store like that. I'm so used to the divided rounded keyboard, its hard for me to type on a regular keyboard anymore.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I think so because I can just slide my fingers across it rather than having to flex them to point and click.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Very rarely my hands actually shake. more often I feel shaky and weak on the inside, but no actual shaking if that makes any sense?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Kathy, Makes perfect sense to me. I'm having the shaky inside feelings more often, but no shaking that anyone can see. -- Re: touch pads Very rarely my hands actually shake. more often I feel shaky and weak on the inside, but no actual shaking if that makes any sense?
