Answer» I am looking for a new keyboard for my computer in the car. Here are the specs I need, I can't seem to find one on my own:
MINI USB Wireless Illuminated Has a trackpad
Thanks guys, I know someone will figure it out for me Are you willing to pay ten times the price of a plain keyboard?
Wireless? In a automobile?
And What is Mini USB? Mini USB and wireless? What is that supposed to mean?
This computer isn't being used from behind the wheel, is it?

Can I get a link to it? This is in my buddy's car. I usually use the computer while he DRIVES. Whatever he does on his own is his problem. Whatever stats he told me is what I typed in here.I go that photo from... http://www.wetkeys.com/ The back-lite keyboard is here: http://www.wetkeys.com/Hygienic-Backlit-Keyboard-w-Touchpad-EKB-97-TP-p/ekb-97-tp.htm But at $196 it is rather pricey. Here is a review of a lower price illuminated keyboard under $100. Logitech Illuminated Keyboard CNET also does reviews of other keyboards in the same article. There some USB to mini USB adapters. Newegg has several and I'm sure others do to.
You could buy one of these and try a standard USB keyboard.
Mini USB connectors started showing up in cameras several years ago, but I don't think the mini's have ever been standardized. I remember one PC Magazine columnist complaining that even a major camera manufacturer didn't use the same mini connector on all of it's cameras.
Even if it doesn't work at least the adapters are under $10.
Are you sure that the mini USB port can be used for a keyboard, and it just isn't a link to the radio for an MP-3 player.
