[Athen] using phone as keyboard input device

[E.A. Draffan]

I have not tried this and so I really do not know if it would work
http://jm2pc.sourceforge.net/ but it is open source and free! Java mobile to
PC. 

 

There is also a mouse that is a phone but looks a bit out of date and yet I
am sure I came across an new mouse with text keys

Subject: [Athen] using phone as keyboard input device

 

Does anyone have experience trying to use a cell phone keyboard as a
computer input device?  We have a student who has enough range of motion and
dexterity to text on his cell phone quite efficiently, but really struggles
with a full-size keyboard.  I can find small adaptive keyboards which are
quite costly, but was wondering if a cell phone keyboard would work. 

 

Thanks.
