For those who isn't able to memorize the complex system of IME, they could just write on the that pad and the word would be recognize by the program and be entered on the computer.

first off, i find it cumbersome to use handwriting recognition as opposed to typing because how horrible my handwriting has become (from years of typing)

additionally, as it has been mentioned, no love for southpaws.

however, i guess in the event that someone finds it handy they shouldn't be weary of quality. A keyboard is a keyboard is a keyboard. My $3.00 keyboard is as good as any other keyboard i've used. It lacks any discernable features like programmable keys, but all the keys work, they all type the write letter, and they are all in the right place, and have stayed there.

The problem i see is that this is basically a laptop keyboard (and that appears to be the trend) and keys are smaller and cramped. if you're used to that good for you, if not, drop a C on a Wacom.

oh, another flaw that makes me uniterested is the fact that i need to supply a num-pad. I use that thing almost as much as i use the home row, i have a USB pad for my laptop, and could use it, but it cost me $20, so in the end i'd have to shell out $45 if i didn't allready have one.

If they threw in a USB keypad and a USB hub built in (presumable 2 ports, one for the keypad, and one for a mouse), bumped the price to $39.99 (or so) you might have a decent product... of course assuming the recognition is good quality... natually.]]>Sep 19th 2007 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/
Oh man....

please try the comparison:

a shit keyboard >> Logitech Elite >> IBM Bucking keys (Das Keyboard, IBM Model M)

your typing experience will never be the same. ]]>Sep 19th 2007 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Does that mean I'm old school?]]>Sep 19th 2007 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/

Do you think the third one was supposed to say "write" instead of "right"?

D'oh!]]>Sep 19th 2007 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/Sep 19th 2007 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/19/cheap-keyboard-boasts-handwriting-recognition/
