Cideko introduces wireless keyboard plus mouse

I’ve seen wireless keyboards, wireless mice, and wireless mouse devices that work in mid-air. However, I have never seen a wireless keyboard that acts like a mouse before. At Computex 2009, Cideko had on display a new gaming keyboard that would act like a 3D mouse when moved around in mid-air.

My first reaction to such a product was, “What’s the point?” But it does seem like a cool idea, albeit a little unnecessary. Think of all those computer games that you could play without actually using a mouse. By simply moving the keyboard around, you have access to all normal mouse features as well as the ability to type at the same time. To right and left click, simply press the buttons located on the top of the device.
