[QUOTE="joeblow, post: 297075, member: 2178"] Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I connected my Logi MX keyboard to the Deck via Bluetooth and it works just fine. The keyboard saves up to three profiles, so I can switch between my PC, my iPhone and my Deck when I use it. With cabinet mode activated, I went through the process of rotating the display in PFX3 90 degrees for vertical mode as well as remapping the flipper buttons to use the pedals underneath the handheld (R4=L and R5=R). I also switch the two sticks so that the nudge was near the flipper controls while holding the Deck from the top. In a sitting position with it resting on my lap, it wasn't too bad at all to control. The visual improvement though is eons better than portrait mode (I'm using 1W view), and I can now say that the experience is about as perfect as one could expect for portable pinballing with this thing. The only problem though is this: I have to input the cabinet code every single time I re-boot PFX3. It's a pain since I am forced to use the keyboard to do it, which makes it a lot LESS of a portable set up, but it is better than nothing. With the news that PFX won't need conds for cabinet mode in the future, at least that headache goes away for that audience. [/QUOTE]
