Item # 120881149782 It's hard to find more info, and I don't see it on logitech.com, which is odd. It seems to be designed especially for Sony PS3, and I don't think it can work with multiple devices. > The Logitech model K400 has a much bigger touchpad plus conventional > switches below it. Yes, but that is not bluetooth, just wireless. I need bluetooth to be able to use it with the smart phones. > A Dell model looks promising also: Item # 190808896980 > > eBay seems to have several good possibilities found in a search for > "bluetooth keyboard"... many duds tho. That one doesn't have the required built-in touchpad or trackball and I see no indication that it can pair with multiple devices. Thanks, Chuck, for looking it up for me. It looks like you found the same thing I found -- that they aren't quite serving my needs, yet. It's strange because in my crazy view of things, this is something *everyone* should want right now! ;-) IOGEAR is close, so I guess I'll stick with that for now, but it is annoying that I can't seem to scroll with it. Maybe I need to try that again.
