Ordered some stuff from MonoPrice for mounting the Mimo in a single or double wall gang box. Here's a quick shopping and test list.
1 - very short stalk mini speaker mounting bracket. Flush to the wall it still comes out some 2.5" and is 2" wide. Not really that nice looking but 1/4 the size of the speaker brackets that I use for the family room. These are made for very small speakers in that you can't really pivot them too much if you have a larger speaker.
2. - A double wall insert (not really a box - easier and smaller footprint.
3. - Wall plate - you can go with double with single jack holes on two inserts or a single with two jack holes. Either should work. I went with a double.
4. - Misc cables and jacks - so cheap that I bought multiples.
5 - A 35' foot active USB extender. (just to see if it works). Monoprice even has longer active USB extenders very reasonably priced.
6 - took apart the bracket for the Mimo Monitor. Its basically a small stalk with a screen holding it the stand. There's a little rubber cap over the screw hole. The stalk / screw assembly will fit nicely in a small hole drilled into a blank. The back of it will have a metal spacer to keep the Mimo monitor in place. This "bracket" assembly will sit less than one inch from the wall plate (more like 1/2") still allowing for room on the mini USB jack. I was looking for a right angle mini jack cable but didn't find any.
Will post more pictures. Meanwhile now testing the Mimo 7" USB next to a 7" VGA/USB touchscreen and a 15" VGA/Serial Planar touchscreen. The VGA screens are much "faster" than the USB Mimo Screen. HS Touch still works fine expecially with the camera views. First want to get all of this working with a direct connect; then later with a VM client connect. Only the Mimo screen will wake up touching the screen. I cannot get the other VGA USB nor VGA Serial to wake up. Touchscreen sensitivity is about the same for all. Where I see the difference is in the screen switching with the Mimo monitor being the slowest and the Planar monitor being the fastest.
