Author Topic: Life Size Picture of the Keyboard? (Read 6863 times)

Harper · « **on:** May 30, 2004, 04:30:42 pm »

I\'ve done some searching around, both on google and here, and I\'ve not found such a beast. So I\'ll ask: can anyone make a true-to-life sized picture of the keyboard? I think it would be most helpful to determine just how big it is, since most of us are not able to fondle the devices before we buy them.

Thank you much, and I do apologise this has been done somewhere.

[Edit: Apologies. I made the assumption that since I was in the C7x0 hardware forum, people would gather I was speaking about the C7x0 series keyboard. My fault. ]

I don\'t know about Harper but I would like to see a life size Cxxx keybord.

I\'ll try my best with my digital camera...
but it won\'t be exact cause I\'d have to resize it etc.

Put a ruler next to it when you take your picture since it will be impossible to determine the output device the requested users will have.

FYI, I do not have a ruler with me, but I can tell you that the keyboard is about the height of a US one dollar bill and the length 3/4th the length of the same bill.

Dear Rikiya
The link does not work:

You\'ll have to copy the URL and paste it in the Address Bar yourself.
Geocities won\'t allow you to see the picture when it\'s linked from another site.

That is quite nice, thank you much. I was wondering if you could do one with a ruler along the bottom of it? If we had that, and you took the picture directly above the open zaurus, we could scale it to be the exact size.

A little larger than life, but here you go...

Thank you very much. I have taken the liberty, and a ruler, to try to get it is as close as possible to proper scale. Here it is, for all those curious:

Proper scale ?

It looks tiny looking at in on my Zaurus.

Perhaps we should quote proper scale on what size of monitor and resolution...
