I finally got the chance to try out the Lenovo Wireless Mini Keyboard I ordered as a remote for my Shark. (see the Joystick threads)
I'm happy to report that it works quite well right out of the box.
It has the arrow keys and the page up/page down buttons. And as a bonus, the trackball allows me to change the jog speed remotely as well.
I shot a short video of the sytem working if you want to see it, and there is a link with the video for the keyboard at Amazon.

Re: Wireless Remote for the Shark
Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the update and the video. A question with regard to changing the FRO - did you have to tab back to the program tab, use the track ball to change the FRO, then tab back to the jog tab? Or, did you find that the track ball enabled FRO adjustment without leaving the jog tab in the Shark Basic Panel?

Tab back and forth. The mini keypad simply replaces the one on the laptop.
