Orientex 2.4GHz USB Wireless Handheld Keyboard with Multi-touch TouchPad, Laser Pointer - White

For the price this is a solid 5-star item. I've tried a few less functional variants but all had issues, like no function keys, no back-lighting and clumsy "mouse" use. The Orientex device gets a thumbs up in all those areas, and it's light and well-designed . This is a very good deal.

Let me say it straight out: this is one amazing device. The size of your average Blackberry 8000-series, it has worked seamlessly with Win XP SP3, Win 7 /64 Ult, Mac OS X.6 and best of all, XBOX 360 with the small USB plug-in dongle.

Has just about all the functions of a standard PS/2 keyboard, with a warm light orange/amber backlight option (looks amazing on the white keyboard with black/blue lettering). It also has a laser pointer, and 2-step ctrl-alt-del access (fn+enter key). Additional full function features include 10 function keys (F1-10), page up/down, tab, esc, multimedia playback control (works with YouTube/Netflix videos), volume control, and mouse left/right click buttons.

An included mini-USB cable charges the device in a few hours, and I haven't had to recharge it yet after ~8 days of use.

So why only 4 stars? This might be nitpicking, but the trackpad is sloooow. With a widescreen display, the only way to speedily go from one to another is repeatedly swiping your finger. A touchpad configuration driver, a la the Synaptics systems found in laptops would make this device 5-star and amazing.
