Call me an idiot, but here I am recommending a
keyboard that I just assumed worked in Linux. It
seems that there is some serious question whether the
Versapoint RF actually has linux USB drivers for it or
its built in mouse. I've been using it on Windows for
a couple of years and was planning on using it on my
Gentoo XBox once I finish it. Sorry if anyone bought
one only to find that it actually doesn't work. I'm
going to try it on Linux this weekend to confirm for
myself if it has drivers, if someone has already had
success please let me know.
