Ouch! isn't it? It intrigued me until I saw the price. ;[ I expected it to cost around $100 to $150 but $400 is just OUCH!

      Hey guys,

      I was wondering if anyone had an experience with these sort of items. I just
      stumbled upon this - the Orbitouch Keyless
      Keyboard<http://www.orbitouch.com/>.
      Are these things easy to use/worth investing in/and so on?

      Thanks!

      Good morning (or afternoon) Everyone!

      It's time for our first weekly topic!!

      "How could we define a minimum accessibility standard that is easy to
      implement for all game developers? Compare this with including alternative
      text for all images on a website ? a technically easy thing to do, if you
      just remember to do
      it!"<http://gameaccesssig.forumotion.com/t2-january-24-2010-how-could-we-define-a-minimum-accessibility-standard-that-is-easy-to-implement-for-all-game-developers#2>


      What are your thoughts? Is it a simple list of must haves? Does it vary by
      game? Are games too diverse to have a "one size fits all" type of minimum?



      Please go to the forums, register, and post your
      thoughts<http://gameaccesssig.forumotion.com/t2-january-24-2010-how-could-we-define-a-minimum-accessibility-standard-that-is-easy-to-implement-for-all-game-developers#2>.
      Remember, the highlights and conclusion of this discussion *will be posted
      on the website* so it's important that we make these topics a worth while
      read.

      AND YES! We actually do get visitors to the site everyday, and so providing
      more and more meaningful content it a must.



      Thanks everyone!
