Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a data input device configured for use with one or more computing devices. The data input device includes a housing and a communications module coupled to the housing. The communication module is operable to establish and maintain a connection with one or more computing devices, and communicate instructions from the data input device to the one or more computing devices. The data input device also includes a plurality of input members disposed on the housing in at least five rows. The plurality of input members includes four smaller sized input members that are directional keys disposed along a portion of a bottom row of input members. At least two-and-a-half input members in a second row of input members directly above the bottom row occupy the same length of the housing as the smaller sized input members. In some embodiments, greater than three input members disposed in the second row of input members directly above the bottom row occupy the same length of the housing as the smaller sized input members.
