Title: Alphagrip on Ebay
Post by: Input Nirvana on Tue, 26 July 2011, 16:11:23

If you buy one new, it's just over $100.

I have one for sale also, but I want $85 (since it's new), so the Ebay auction looks like a deal.

It's a handheld keyboard. I love the thing. I bet with a few tweaks, some other complimentary products, and time, it could be really popular.

I'm trying to start an Alphagrip wiki...I have not had the time to work on it yet. I'm going to make one programmable, and wireless. That's why I have the extra units (the ebay auction is not me). I bought too many. A couple people here use them.

 (http://www.alphagrips.com/)I've been working out of town 80% of the time since October, and I sometimes go to funky coffeehouses to get out of the hotels at night. When I pull out an Alphagrip (it's super-portable) people are always interested. I've helped Alphagrip sell a couple units that way. lol

I'd buy one if they added an analog stick or two, then made it wireless.

I'm making one wireless.

Do you have a link, pic, spec, info on stick? Do you mean instead of the trackball? I'll look into it.

Sounded like he meant stuff like the sticks on 360 controllers.

Yea, but if I can have an exact example to start from, I can do the R+D.
