[ddots-l] Re: wireless key bords

I've a Giration, the one with the 100foot range, not the 30fot one...  It's 
batteries on average last for nearly 3 months, and that's only 2 double A's...  
There's 
a small transceiver module which plugs into a USB port, and has a telescopic 
antenna, and an on/off bar parallel to, and underneath the antenna when 
folded down.  I've placed my antenna on the computer, and have used the thing 
all over my 1/4 acre property, even though the house is brick and has 
burglar bars over all windows like a Faraday cage.  (grin)  In the studio, I've 
put velcro on the bottom of the keyboard, except for the batter compartment 
door, and it sits on a plexiglass sheet cut to size, covered with velcro, with 
4 countersunk screws holding the sheet onto two tom-tom shell mounts, which 
are in turn mountes onto a short boom arm with gimbled clamp on one end, and 
two brackets on the arm at each end holding the L-rods...  This assembly, in 
turn, can be easily mounted on the bottom of a cymbal boom arm extending below 
the drum rack, or, on a small piece of (thin) rack pipe or a portion cut from 
the lower part of a boom arm, or, snare stand Etc., which is in turn mounted to 
the vertical stantion of the rack with an "L" clamp such as those made by 
Gibralter, the company who makes my rack, and most of the parts--theirs and 
DW's which make up my home built assemblies...  The neat thing about this 
assembly, is that it can be made to swing in and out of the way as needed, and 
held at any comfortable typing angle, yet the keyboard can be removed as 
needed...  I can run everything from my drum throne...

 Shawn! I love my wireless keyboard, whether I'm using it for music or
 anything else! Musically, I use it for the reasons you mentioned.  My
 configuration is such that I'd be dashing all over the place trying to
 record things if I didn't have it.  I bought a more expensive one a few
 years back with all the fancy buttons, which can easily be reconfigured to
 do whatever one wishes for them to do.  But that's not why I wanted this
 particular brand.  It purported to have a long reach, and indeed I spent
 countless hours using the wireless keyboard and a wireless headset upstairs
 or outside while the server sat downstairs.

 One thing to note: my wireless keyboard is a Logitech, and the software that
 came with it places an unnecessary process into my task manager.  It has to
 do with making all those fancy buttons cooperate.  So watch out for extra
 goodies that might attempt to slip themselves in when all that's really
 needed is the basic driver.

 Satauna in Albany, thankful today for the blanket of snow that covered the
 landscape this morning.  FINALLY!
