Narrow Gaming Keyboard and Giant Mouse Pads - K-Pod

[ng7m]

I thought I would share the following.  I have been using a narrow gaming
keyboard for years now and really like it.  It has cherry mechanical keys
and nice options on the back lighting.  The real reason for the post here
is related to my K-Pod and the positioning of the K-Pod in relation to the
keyboard in my paddle.  Plus, I found these huge mouse pads online for a
very reasonable price.  They are 32" x 24".  I hate table edges against my
wrist when keying the paddle and using the mouse, not to mention using the
K-Pod as near to the keyboard as possible.  I'm pretty happy with the two
big mouse pads which solve the movement of the paddle too etc...

The big mouse pads were found on the shopping site that nobody can live
without these days... search for 'Large gaming mouse pad'.  I found some
big ones on usual auction site too, but they were wider and not as deep.

Anyway, here are the pictures if you want to take a look at the layout with
the narrow keyboard and the K-Pod / Paddle etc...

​I enjoy shack shots and this batch was great Max. I particularly liked the
1899 photo.

I don't have a K-pod but something similar for my Flex setup (FlexRemote).
I keep it on the left side so I can keep my right hand on the key or mouse.

Kev, K4VD

Hi Kevin, I missed your note about the setup earlier. Yes, it's nice to set
things up the way you operate.  In my case, I have always had the K3 on the
left side to keep the right hand near the paddle and mouse, but now with
the K-Pod, I get the best of both worlds.  I can use the left hand on the
K3 if I want to tune the main VFO or RIT (for example), or I can do
everything with the right hand and keep the left hand on the left side of
the keyboard (obviously) to work the function keys etc... while having the
right hand ready to work the mouse, K-Pod or paddle.  When pouncing it's
really night with the K-Pod on the right if you want to use the paddle to
call or fill etc...
