I recently got a toshiba e740 off of ebay primarily for mp3s and short videos, but I'd also like to be able to play some games on it including NES emulation.

Unfortunately, not only are the keys inconveniently laid out, but theres a slight delay between when I press a key and the games register it. For all other purposes, this isn't even noticeable, but it really keeps me from playing games.

I've seen small keyboards for other PPCs that go on the bottom of the PDA like a docking cradle running parallel to the device. although those little keys wouldn't be great for typing, I think they'd be perfect for games. Does anyone know of one that would work with an e740? Also, would this eliminate lag, or is that just the speed of the device? (btw its not just emulators that lag like that)

Thanks!

If you're talking about a thumb board, Toshiba sells one by Targus that will fit the E740.
