With microUSB to miniUSB converter this works on N810 as well -- correct?

Looks like it's right in a perfect size range where it might be usable for both thumb typing, AND touch typing. Though, that might mean it's barely comfortable (or slightly uncomfortable) for either.

If anyone gets one, let us all know how it goes! :-)

Interesting, pending my hand and the hand in the picture are roughly the same size, the keyboard in the pic and the keyboard on my EEE PC have the same size of letter keys, which would mean it would work for touch typists. Probably wouldn't want to type a dissertation on one, but plenty good for posting on forums.

There is a better picture of the unit here:

The hand is definitely not normal.

No kidding! Look at the picture of the mini keyboard on top of the regular keyboard, then compare it to the picture of the keyboard in the guy's hand. That guy must have some giant Sasquatch hands or something!

You did notice that there are three keyboards in that pic, right(there is someone in another thread that didn't)? The keyboard on top is the mini keyboard, there is another black keyboard in between that is the size that used to qualify as 'mini', and then the normal sized white keyboard at the bottom.

My bad. Unless you look closely (obviously I didn't look closely enough), it's hard to tell that there are two black keyboards in the picture. It just looks like one keyboard. Probably wasn't the best choice for a model photograph.
