   today I used my computer mouse to control my recliner!

   this wasn't an awesome Foone Hack though, I just accidentally yanked on a cable and the mouse was in a draw next to the wired remote.

     if anyone saw that horrible accent-related typo, no you didn't

     my motorized recliner seems to use the same connector as the IBM PC keyboard a 5-pin DIN.

     no I've definitely never thought about making a keyboard that can control my recliner, definitely not

     @foone have you considered using recliner settings as a keyboard?

     @BRicker nasty! I had the power supply of mine burnt itself up recently, but thankfully it wasn't reclined when it happened

     I had the good fortune to be the occupant of a motorized rocker-recliner when it released the magic smoke. (Good luck because that meant someone a generation older and less able to self extricate smart in it then.)
     The recliner function's power-cord apparently had had a long running argument with the platform-rocker components, which eventually bared both wires, and thus arcing, circuit breaker trip, etc.
