Mouse for Pocket PC

hadam · #1 (**permalink**) 02-10-2003, 08:12 PM

I just got my Dell key board. It works great. Much better than the one that work via IR.

Now I can use my Dell key board to type in my e-mails real quick. But it is annoying to use stylus as compare to mouse. I rather have mouse.

Is any one know there is mouse available for Pocket PC ???

Thanks

You might want to try this one also. It is free from Microsoft.
It is called Remote Display Control for Pocket PC. Look for it on the link below.

It allows you to view the screen of the Pocket PC on your desktop monitor screen ...and be able to control it with a mouse.

I really liked the idea at first, but after looking at it and thinking about it...it really tethers you to the PC and that is what I want to avoid.

I want my AXIM to be self sufficient in the field. I am trying out the Kilmist Keyboard XL (www.kilmist.com/keyboardxl) which is fairly good. A little bulky to use as it puts all of the typing in the clipboard and then you can past it to your Word, Text file or whatever other file you need too.

Anyone else tried this one out?

hmm, sounds like an easy way to get screen caps...but i can see where eloyds coming from (i think..). when travling it would be easier for a small mouse to fit into a briefcase, while not so easy for a computer/laptop. in essence, a mini mouse and the available pocket pc keyboards could make it a very mini laptop on the go...sounds nice

I love my folding keyboard from Dell. The only thing is now missing is mini mouse. If I can get mini mouse then I got Axim as a mini laptop to carry with me.

I do lots of travelling and after 9/11 it is getting very difficult to travel with my Dell laptop. With laptop it takes you 25-30 extra minutes when you go through the security lines at airport.

Also the lots of European airliner are getting very strict on carry on luggages. They allow you one personal item and one carry on luggage, but they also ding you for weight. Laptop with all accessories is getting pretty fat.

Axim is perfect for me except I need to get a mini mouse. Key board work great. All my modem CF, Wi-Fi CF and bluetooth CF forms Ambicom are working great with my Axim.

Thanks

I think everyone might be out of luck for a mouse. ESP since PPC is touch activated, im not sure if PPC would be able to support a mouse. Isnt there a way for you guys with the keyboard to bind some shortcut keys? I think some of you expect too much from the current PPC.

No offense, but that is how advances are made to happen happen! :P
