Hi, I am new to this forum and was about to buy an iGesture pad (the only one available in Australia that I know of) when I discovered Fingerworks has closed down.....just my luck, I finally find what looks to be a great product and then they want to stop making it?? I am now in the dilemma of wheth...

I too would like some sort of explanation as to what happened. The technology is good (no question there), some say the products were pricey but I don't think that was prohibitive. Lots of things are pricey, the individual just makes a decision if they think the product is worth the price - and lots...

While surfing, I came across the following site (I believe last updated 1 June 05) http://www.outsearchinc.com/about.aspx It is a site for Coates Analytics Group (provides Financial Distribution Intelligence)........ Jeffrey White was most recently the CEO and Chairman of FingerWorks, Inc. a private...

I just received a (very prompt) reply for my e-mail to Wayne Westerman, in which I asked him: "Have you sold the company and will your product line be taken up and continued by another business?" His reply: I wish manufacturing had continued or shutdown had gone smoother, but if we all cross our fin...

I think if we want to know specific details, we need to ask concise questions. From my earlier reply from Wayne, I get the impression that *they* aren't/can't speak about the details of the sale/takeover of the company. Hence the vague answer I posted from Wayne under "Shedding Light on Fingerworks"...

I am a new owner of an iGesture pad - great product. I primarily use my a mouse (or now iGetsure) for my computer work. I had not thought about getting a Touchsteam LP but with Fingerworks closing down and with all the talk about buying the *last* Touchstreams by die-hard fans, I am now wondering wh...

For me, I'm going to try the Typematrix EZ-Reach 2030 http://www.typematrix.com/ezr2030/ in DVORAK. I have shoulder problems from 'reaching' when using a normal size keyboard. The EZ-Reach is compact unlike other ergonomic boards, and having just learned to touchtype in DVORAK, I cannot go back to Q...

Firstly I am in Australia. I was going to buy a Touchstream DVORAK just as Fingerworks closed. The only ergonomic reseller that sells (sold) Fingerworks products in Australia had only two items left: An iGesture pad A QWERTY touchstream (their description: colour black?) I bought the iGeture pad as ...

I posted 2 PM replies (chumpboy and Peter70) with the URL of the website that still had a Touchstream. Would be interested if either of you were successful.......and I will never know what I missed out on, having never used a Touchstream :( If only I had discovered Finger Works 6 months earlier!

My EZ-Reach 2030 arrived this morning. After a only a couple of hours I am already used to the key layout. My opinion: I love it :) The keys have a really nice tactile feel, I like the grid layout of keys, and because of its compactness, I have been able to bring my iGesture into a much better reach...

Hi All I just had to share my good news. :D I finally found a numpad on eBay (it pays to keep looking there) after months of trying to find one and being on the the verge of giving up..... it appeared. It had a buy it now price of $119 (US) BRAND NEW - what a bargain! So of course I jumped at the op...

I've been using the TypeMatrix 2030 Dvorak for some months now (after missing the boat wth the TS). I concur with most (just about all) of Shawn's extensive review. I couldn't imagine going back to a standard keyboard and I am also waiting for the day when mainstream manufacturer's realise the impro...

Thanks for the thought ivanw, But is a bit beyond my capabilities....I don't really want to remap any of the existing keys as I use them all....but if it was possible I would like to map the blank space between 'up arrow' and '1' as a double 00 key (similar to the factory mapping of the blank space ...

I am on a steep learning curve here. Firstly to test mapping a key on the iGesture numpad, I opened the FW retro numpad file to see how they wrote the code. An example for the number 4 is: <TapArea xcenter="6.1" ycenter="3.9" isRectangular="true" width="1.9" height="1.9" macro_name=" 4 " layoutConte...

I've been away for a while so this is a bit belated. Just wanted to thank TorbenGB and ivanw for their efforts in trying to help me map a double 0 on my numpad. I tried both methods and still could not get it to work...... my 'real' work is keeping me too busy to play around any more at this stage b...

Another LP has come up on eBay 5821108038 in London (post worldwide) currently the bid is GBP 0.01 but I don't think it will stay like that for long

Nothing much to it.......the default numpad xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE MTS_config> <MTS_config MTS_config_version="1.60" min_firmware_version="1.46"> <RequireLib name="FW_main" /> <MacroLibrary /> <UserOptions driverContext=" win qwerty" layoutContext=" numlock" enabl...

I performed the default (v1.6) upgrade 3 times to check that I missed nothing....and ony 2 files get uploaded:

fbin\konfig4f0040numpad.U.byt

fbin\digitalMini.U.byt

Hope this helps,
