i was thinking
shall i make a mock up in paint brush of how a full sized keyboard would look (including switchable palm rest / graphics tablet area)
or go straight to the laptop DS (assuming the 2nd monitor would be 1280*1024) but i dont know the average non wide screen size (but with software you can have it the size of your screen and aspect ratio changing the size of the buttons should the need arise ... it is after all meant to be totally customizable)
putting my kb up to the monitor i knew id have to do some jiggery pokery like they do on laptops (at a push you can get 18 keys along my monitor which is 17" thats esc all to pause break)
but instead of what laptops do re the numpad having it on lets say without having a lap top to hand 890iopkl;,./ and having to use a special key to activate the keys
have them down where the right wrist would be but checked off only active with said special key
you could also add a glide pad into the mix as laptops have these but perhaps stylus driven as its a dual gfx tablet and i really hate using glide pads as it is but a styus should work as a mouse subsitute better
i would avoid having buttons like sleep shut down etc as i dropped my kb once and picked it up on the hybernate button ... not nice
they would be hard wired buttons in the casing somewhere
