Thanks to all for replying both on and off forum.
Just unplugged antennas here due to T&L so had a few moments.
I ordered a pair of Logitech K360 keyboards from Amazon.ca just now.
I think they call this type "compact" rather than "mini" and I expect it'll
help reduce my "Chubby Checker"
twist that I do.
Conflicting online reports as to the exact size, but I am hoping they'll be
15" wide, compared
to the ones I am running now which are 18" and 17.5" respectfully. These
compact ones
appear to have no wrist rest, so that'll help me squeeze them together a
little more than the
current ones also.
If anyone wishes to continue talking about anything else "2 keyboard"
related I'd love to hear it.
I am a newb at this 2 KB thing, but am enjoying it a lot.
Back to WAE after the Thunder & Lightning subside.

Subject: Let's talk SO2R dual keyboards
I recently went to 2 Keyboard SO2R (in part tnx to N2IC programming skills
in N1MMLogger) and have modified my desk to be a little lower hacking nearly
3" off the height and so now it's at about 29.5" tall, but am still having
some discomfort to the twisting motion flipping back and forth between
keyboards, especially when doing 2BSIQ (poorly,hi)
I am using 2 full size Logitech keyboards about 17-18" wide at slight angles
to one another (Flying Vee formation) with a very small mouse right at my
stomach in the small triangle of real estate the 2 keyboards don't occupy.
I can't seem to learn to type left keyboard with left hand; right keyboard;
right hand. At least not fast enough to keep up anyways.
Those of you doing 2 Keyboard SO2R..are you using Mini keyboards or at least
smaller than stock sizes?
My new ones, if I go that route, will have to be 2.4GHz as the computer does
not have Bluetooth and I have some RF into my USB bus, but eliminated it all
by going to wireless KB's.
I'd hate to give up the # pad for SN contests (WPX, WAE, etc) and I need
page/up page/down keys for speed changes in N1MMLogger+
What say you?
CU in WAE
Tnx
