The Virtual Laser Keyboard

The virtual laser keyboard (VKB) works by using both infrared and laser technology to produce an invisible circuit and project a full-size virtual QWERTY keyboard on to any surface

“Roughly the size of a disposable lighter, (90 x 34 x 24 mm), the VKB enables users to type email or long text as easily as with a conventional keyboard. Imagine how much easier it would be if you had a proper mobile phone keyboard that fits in your pocket“

Sound: Users can control the virtual keyboard sound effects (keyclicks)
Intensity: Control the intensity of the projected virtual keyboard
Connection: Connection to the appropriate Laptop/PC port
Sensitivity: Users can adjust the sensitivity of the virtual keyboard
Timeouts: Adjustable timeouts to conserve the virtual keyboard’s battery life
Auto-repeat: Allows the VKB to automatically repeat a key based on prescribed parameters

Which is a good comparison, this device really is tiny. A bluetooth version is also available which is reviewed at DavesIpaq scoring 5 out of 5, the only negative point being that the battery monitor could be better.

The reviews also mention that the clicking sound is actually quite a good thing as its reassuring to know that it’s working correctly. Might take some getting used to but fancy and works on both your PC and iPaq
