Well, what I did, was instead of making the wire stick out of the top of the chatboard, it sticks out of the bottom with me, this makes typing/reading much easier, because you don't have a wire in front of your screen. This way I can just put the GP32 on a table, then elevate the chatboard about 5 cm, and keep the top of the chatboard at about the same vertical position as the EXT port.
