bluesparky Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I bought a couple of these a while ago, they're perfect for when you're reading some notation on your computer and you want to scroll down without taking your hands off your instrument (insert smutty comment here)... It seems to work with Adobe Acrobat, Office documents and a bunch of transcription programs i've got.

Bilbo Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Like all good ideas - simple and effective. I can see me getting one of these. $49 - that's about £26? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulf Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It seems a bit pricey for what is essentially a keyboard, stripped down to page up / page down buttons and then made a bit more rugged. I'm also not sure quite how green it is when it requires you have a computer on all the time you are using it. I expected a little mechanical gizmo that would flip pages on a physical score! (although USB should have been a bit more of a clue). I certainly appreciate the nature of the problem. Wulf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green issues aside, it's the simplest ideas that often prosper. I've certainly not got the time to build one, or work out how to. If i did i'm sure it'd be the size of my fridge and run on steam....
