I recently wired up the homemade midi footswitch (described at https://cycling74.com/story/2007/10/16/1252/3782) that uses a repurposed usb numeric keypad. It works like a charm but now I'm thinking wouldn't it be great to do the same thing with a wireless keypad. The problem is that I'm using a Mac and there don't appear to be any wireless keypads that are Mac compatible. So here's my question: Does anyone know of a wireless numeric keypad that is Mac-compatible and if not, is it likely that a non-mac wireless USB keypad will transmit USB data of some sort that can be gathered in MacMax (perhaps by using something other than the "key" object?) I'm hesitant to buy a keypad (much less take it apart) until I know whether there's hope it'll work.

Not a numeric keypad, but I just bought a nice mini RF keyboard, complete with trackpad, to use with my Mac Mini iTunes server (and to play the best game evah, PocketTanks, in the comfort of my own living room :-D). Pretty reasonably priced too, see: http://tinyurl.com/6jjlwy Cheers Roger
