Prodikey



I guess some could find it useful if they record.

You could also spend $55 to have a volume control on your computer keyboard.

EDIT: I just noticed something weird... the piano keyboard is BELOW the qwerty keyboard. So, if you type a lot, there's no wrist rest to keep your hands above the piano keys?

Bill Santa Claus brought me one of those at Christmas 2005. There is a cover for the piano keys that serve as a rest for the wrists. It was a novelty thing and I can count the number of times I've used the piano keys.

Pretty neat, Bill.

I notice it says in the specs that it has a removable palm rest...

I guess we have to wait to hear from someone who has one, or has at least tried one.

Thanks for the link.

Ian

Sorry Steve, I didn't see your post.

I have one of the original white Prodikeys. It's on my wife's computer now (her idea - I was ready to eBay it). It qualifies as an arranger with the included software which is pretty elaborate really even though it's on a kid's level, but the keyboard itself is little more than a toy. The keys are very small. I used to have it on my office computer back when I had a dayjob and noone knew it was a music keyboard because the wrist rest/keyboard cover does a good job of hiding the keys. I used it to work on Band In A Box files in my spare time. Not a substitute for a real MIDI keyboard but an interesting and unique goof-around thingie none the less.
