Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Free Wii Remote Jacket Offer

That's too funny I was just talking to a co-worker about the old power glove and he said they need to bring it back, as it might actually work with todays technology.

On a different tangent for all of you with out Wiiconnect on there is an update today that allows a USB keyboard to be used with the WII.

Yeah, Ken, something like that

Thanks for the tip, Jason. The ability to use a wireless USB keyboard might be magic for embracing the Opera browser. Cool.

I've been using Opera for the last 4 years but I think now I'm gonna dump it. It's too bloated and it keeps shutting down and freezing up on me. It's become bloatware.

And this is where the fat lady sings.

Opera on the WII is a much lighter version. It seems to work quite well. I hope to try the keyboard when I get home tonight/morning which ever you want to call 2:30AM.

So I guess if I want to continue using Opera, I should get a Wii :-).

I'm pretty sure your son would like it!

Well I amsitting in my HT area and typing this on my Keyboard hooked up to the WII! This is a nice feature. You do have to go back and redownload the updated Browser and Everybody votes channel fo rthis to work. It is not quite as good as a PC but a little more comfortable. The keyboard is only for use instead of the Ninetendo on-screen one that pops up when you need to enter text. The Wiimote is still used for navigation.
