<img src="http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/944a39448331f51e3ed856d89f1c99c2.jpg" align="right" style="margin:5px; border:1px solid black;">Quite a few online pokerplayers struggle with some symptoms of RSI, like pain in the arm, hand or neck. This is due to the repetitive nature of movements while playing poker (and gaming and such). Having to move and click your mouse repeatedly during a session of online poker can be tiring for your arm, and with poor ergonomic setups at your computer table, this can cause serious pains for the long-term. While there are programs that make it easier for you, like assigning hotkeys with TableNinja for example, another sollution is getting a keyboard just for poker. Poker Controls made a keyboard especially for that: the Wireless Poker Controller
With buttons to switch tables and easy ways to bet the pot, or just bet 2x, 3x or 5x the big blind, it should make life as a multitabler much easier (and more ergonomic?). It has the most used buttons easily accessible and should you ever have tilt, there's always the TILT-button (a panic-button for pokerplayers).
The device was shown at the International Gaming Expo in London at the end of January, at which they mentioned it would be released in March 2009. So now it's closing its release date and should come out very soon. It is still not for sale, but for any updates you can pre-register on the website of the manufacturer. They will make a draw to give away 1000 free devices to those pre-registered.
So, what do you think? Are you gonna buy this when it comes out or do you prefer your normal keyboard-and-mouse-setup?

The shoulder-buttons are to switch between tables, forward and backwards. Although it might be pretty annoying when you have to click 10 times to get to the table you want to look at. More on the button layout can be found on the website: http://www.pokercontrols.com/poker_control.php |

That Tilt-button could come in handy from time to time though... =( |

Tried this out at the Internatioanl Gaming Expo in london in January and whilst it is nice to use on a couple of tables the practicalities of using it on 4plus tables make using the mouse still far easier |
