USB RF Wireless Handheld MCE Keyboard

I have found using the mouse pad is mostly what I use this for. I have used the keyboard section from time to time but I use it in the living room as a remote control to watch movies and check and see if I got email. If responding to an email is warranted I get up and use a normal keyboard. The back light is a great feature BUT you have to find the one button on the board to get the back light going and its not easy. The space bar is easy to find so you can pause and play videos using it. When it falls asleep I just mash down on the keyboard a few times to wake it up. It blinks a light when its on as it 24/7 making it easier to find. The charge lasts a long time I think its a couple of months between charges and I found that when the mouse pad is slow to react and the pointer gets jittery its letting you know a needed charging is coming. takes about an hour. The most annoying thing is you have to hold the pad very delicately from below the keypad to get your finder input on the touch pad to respond. Its still working just as it did when I got it, no reliability issues at all.

This one doesn't work out so well. Each time it goes to sleep, it can't see the connection when it comes back. Moving on the touchpad produces intermittent movement on the screen. In order for the device to be useful, you have to reset the USB connection. This means you have to unplug the USB radio, wait a moment, and plug it back in. You must do this every time you don't use the device for more than 5 or so minutes.

While it is working, it works well enough. The key layout is illogical (left and right arrows are opposite the space bar, and opposite their expected sides, for example). The key presses don't always register, and the tactile feedback is like the buttons are filled with sand, rather than making a solid contact.

Overall, it is only barely functional. Great form factor, though. If my experience is to be expected, i would not recommend.

This works well for my Home Theater Computer. I mostly use it to navigate Netflix and watch movies.

Going to sleep too fast is not that big of a problem. It's a one button push and you are back in business.

Short learning curve on the touchpad.

I recommend for HTC application.
