Things like the n52 and Strategic Commander (have to buy that one on ebay) are key items that allow many of us to box. I found something this week that is a nice substitute on the cheap. I don't have a url it is so basic. Happened to go into an Odd Lots this last week (think of the gab between a dollar store and Wal-Mart/Target) and found a USB numberpad designed for laptops. In a nut shell this thing has 15 keys and while you have to reprogram the target computer's keys to the number pad the majority of those things are for camera angles which I doubt many monkey with on bot machines. In theory you could probably have this thing cycle through the your hotbar hotkey sets using a combo of a numberpad key + 0 - 9. Anyway, while it certainaly lacks the functionality of my n52 I can't really beat the $7 I paid for it. I plug it in if I spin up my 4th computer which is infrequent enough that spending another ~$40 or whatever for an n52 didn't seem to make sense.
