4 out of 5 stars Better than expected for the price!   August 28, 2007

Like other reviewers, I purchased this keyboard for use with a home theater system. Surprised that Sony doesn't offer a Bluetooth keyboard to go with the PlayStation3 (yet), I did some research and settled on this RF unit as the best stopgap solution.

Unlike the other reviewers, though, I have had no problem with the RF signal fading in and out. Admittedly, I don't use the keyboard all that much, but whenever I do I am always impressed by how well it functions. It reliably wakes from sleep and functions as advertised with only occasional missed keystrokes. The integrated trackball is a big plus -- no separate mouse to clutter up your living room coffeetable just for scrolling/navigating.

Your mileage may vary, but at 12-15 feet away from the PS3/TV my unit works like a champ.

While its design is nowhere near as nice as that of the new ultra-thin aluminum Apple keyboard -- and its appearance is not very impressive (hey, its a keyboard!) -- at least it is ergonomic and comfortable to use. The rounded corners are nice, and the keys have a decent tactile quality.

All in all, I'm surprised to be this pleased with it, given the knocks it has taken from other reviewers. Not a bad deal.

I use this as the keyboard for my living room entertainment center. Although I have the USB RF receiver in the front USB port, I am able to type and mouse as if it were a wired keyboard/mouse even from my kitchen 25 feet away. This is the best purchase I've made for my entertainment center. I love the trackball on the right and the scrollwheel under the left trigger spot. My only complaint is that the RF times out after a short while (5m perhaps), but it comes on with any keystroke (and it still registers that keystroke). When I need to use the mouse, I just hit the shift key and it functions again. This is probably a good feature because it should be saving battery life. I've been using the same batteries for three months and have not had to re-register the keyboard to the USB receiver.

Simple and low cost. As others have written, you can't type too fast or move it around too fast otherwise transmission drops out. However, I am using it from about 2)+ feet away from it's USB receiver plug


3 out of 5 stars Great keyboard for HTPC   January 18, 2007

The keyboard if great - light, small but not too much, with scroll wheel and mouse buttons on both right and left side. It feels very natural when using it. The problem is with sensitivity of the RF - it works 100% up to 1 meter, then starts loosing typed chars or mouse movements. At around 5m you need to point the keyboard directly to the RF receiver, which must be in clear visibility (forget placing it in the USB port at the back of the PC). I had to use USB extension cable to make the RF more reliable. The RF reset did not improve the sensitivity. Also, after some time with no activity (1-2 mins), the mouse cursor does not respond. You need to press any key and then the mouse cursor works again. Looks like if the keyboard goes into some sleep mode and mouse movement is not waking it up. Apart from this RF issue, the keyboard is excellent and would get 5*.

This high quality product allows me to cruise the Internet for high class pornography from my couch. A definite must-have for any household. The roll ball allows for smooth and sexy cursor precision while the small form factor allows me to balance the keyboard on top of one leg without effort.
