While I don't YET have SDR running on my KX3,I have been running SDR software on my K3 and my Flex 3000 for some time now. At one time I worked in an office dealing with workplace injuries, and part of that was injury claims stemming fromergonomic issues in workplace computer use.We had a lot of devices come and go as ideas for improvements on keyboards and mice,to be honest many of them were not a great idea or solution, IMHO. However, in my current office we still deal with ergonomic complaints. We have had a couple persons try something called the Contour Roller Mouse, and after some time I have managed to borrow onefor the shack. Quite simply this uses a cylindrical bar that rolls around as well as moves back and forth to move the mouse-pointer up/down and sideways.Standard mouse buttons and central rolling wheel as well. I think it is pretty good product from what I can see so far, and since the keyboard is not necessary to be on the desk when doing the SDR stuff...thecontrol of the SDR software via the Roller Mouse is nice.I've used wireless keyboards and wireless mice for some time now to keep the operating desk clear of what does not need to be there all of the time.I have used a Logikey wireless mouse with assignable buttons as well.It seems the Roller Mouse (which does use a USB cable) could sit under the monitor stand (if you don't have the monitor on the wall or on a shelf) to keep the desk real estate managed.
Anyhow, if you want to look. They even offer 30 day trials. Maybe this is of interest to some people who DO have some mobility or mouse issues.FWIW. No interest on my behalf, no commission etc. http://ergo.contour-design.com/ CiaoBrienToronto ON ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
