I think it's the same problem with every brand of virtual keyboard - it's virtual

So first you have to look where to put your fingers. But if you place your wrist firmly on the desktop and don't change the position it's easy to hit the correct keys after some time of practising - especially if you are familiar with blind typing

The Celluon Laserkey also supports a kind of "virtual mouse": if you "hold down" the key with the mouse pointer symbol in the lower left corner of the keyboard you can use another finger like a touch pad on a notebook. You can even do mouse clicks!

The overall usability is astonishingly good! My only problem is that I didn't get the Celluon connected to my 770 yet

Regards, Diet
