FingerWorks Offers Replacement PowerBook Keyboard

Posted by pudge on from the now-we-just-need-a-drop-in-multi-button-trackpad dept.

JerryKnight writes "FingerWorks, the inventor of TouchStream keyboards such as the LP, is taking pre-orders for a drop-in replacement for the keyboard in a 15" PowerBook G4 that is pretty much the same thing as the LP. Now the beautiful PowerBook can be completely smooth. Words fail to express the enthusiasm felt by me and hopefully anyone else who has used these keyboards. No word on availability. List price: $259." It's called the MacNTouch. Hm.

    This keyboard looks okay, but I don't think it would work for me in daily use. It just seems to awkward. I persoanlly use my left thumb to do the space bar, and I think I'd be deleting a lot of letters. We really need a two button trackpad mod. I've seen the underside of the trackpad button in my iBook (clamshell) and it looks pretty easy to mod. The cable comes out easily and the button shouldn't be too hard to put a two button version in there.
