Re: Wireless IO AND Re: Why is it so hard to design a rugged carrying

Are you using a full-sized keyboard right now?

Some people have made DIY chording keyboards, out of normal keyboards.
Could a wireless (RF) keyboard be made into a chording keyboard, without
losing the wireless capability??
Mouse may be harder, but for me, mouse is non-critical.
