Does anyone use a decent wireless keyboard with trackpad for their rig?

Any recommendations?

I did - and then switched back to a wired K&M with USB extension leads.

I was getting pissed off with the power saving of the wireless devices that sometimes wouldn't come out if sleep mode.

How do you handle that? Have a little table next to you for the mouse?

How about a wired keyboard with trackpad?

Yeah problem is the PC is the other side to where I would put the keyboard down, so the cable would reach across the rig

Like @Darren S says just get an usb extension lead then you can cable manage it around your rig?

I use this at the side of my seat and frame.

Looks a bit conductor('ish) and is silly expensive for what it is - but maybe there's a cheaper one on the likes of eBay?

Yeah not enough room for something like that.

I used one of these for ages, it’s useless for gaming but if you just want something compact to be able to change settings/launch games etc then it’ll do the job

I echo the above, I had that exact one at my old job to control a computer that was on a big screen in the office and it worked great. Meant I didn't have to keep getting up from my desk to walk over to it.

I’ve still got a K400 I use for my Raspberry Pi. Been absolutely battered over the years and still works perfectly.

Does anyone have a buttkicker pro?

What is the ease to get it setup? Just a case of simhub and adjusting the levels?

Worth the money?

Does it ever go to a good sale price? Like ~£350 or is +£400 all you can hope for?

I've only read mixed comments online and haven't actually tried one myself.

However, it seems to be a bit of a lottery with the integration of certain setups and software. If you have patience - go for it, if not I'd be a bit wary.

My cousin has one and rated it, it just adds to the immersion.

There are also haptic chest suits you could look into too.
