Works great with a multimedia PC connected to my HD-TV. Small yet a full keyboard allows typing any commands of file names needed. Easy to hold in my hands, on my lap or balanced on the arm of the chair. Replaced a previous wireless KB & trackball which had become unreliable, dropping characters. Not oly is this one reliable, but muich better. I love the small side of the USB dongle.

This product works great if you need a keyboard on your phone or other bluetooth devices. You have to add a bluetooth dongle if you want to use it with an Xbox it seems.

I bought this keyboard for my asus ipad transformer n works perfect..battery last long, now i am surfing the web through my ipad..hdmi..to my lcd tv......nice

the keyboard uses real keys (not silicon rollout keys like other iPad keyboards). It's also super light weight and small. However, the keys themselves are tiny.

Overall connecting is easy and the use of the keyboard is great. For what i use the keyboard for it does the job, but the 33' called out on the box is way off. luckily I am close enough to my PC that it works (6'-8'). I know the keyboard is small and that is what I wanted, but not made for writing essay. Quick searches on the web, browsing, multimedia perfect.<br ><br >I would have graded this at for or even 5 stars but the range does lack like most wireless keyboards I've read.

The track ball is a little too sensitive but with a little experience you can get the hang-of-it. It's nice to not need a full-scale keyboard and mouse if you're just browsing the ineternet.

I had been searching for a keyboard/mouse combo that was wireless and small. I have tried several other models that were just too small, or too big, or just didn't combine a mouse function into one unit smoothly enough. This unit is perfect for working remotely. I don't have to worry about all the wires and a separate mouse. Easily connects; no problems after a week of full time usage. The multimedia functions are awesome too.

After the 2nd day the &quot;m&quot; key quit working, 3rd day the trackball became difficult to use, the 5th day one of the quote keys quit working. Whats next? I'll try to return it.

I returned this keyboard after using it for half an hour. The trackball is horrible -- all but nonresponsive -- and the keyboard itself is poorly set up and quite flimsy. I could find nothing good about it.

I've been programming with this keyboard (computer sits 3 to 6 feet from keyboard depending how I sit) for a few months now (8+ hours a day). It's never missed a key stroke(like I read before purchasing) and I've been very happy with it. It types nicely (using it right now, in fact), and is a bit "clackity", but not nearly as loud as the default dell keyboards. I ditched my other keyboards in favor of this one. The backslash/pipe key is in a funny lower right position (but fine once you adjust), and I still like my old mac-book pro keyboard the best. All that said, great product, especially for the relatively low price! Oh yeah, trackball does feel kind of cheaply made, but works well.

We like the light, space-saving design which includes a cool trackball mouse so we can recline on the sofa while surfing, streaming videos or listening to music. I agree with other reviews that the left-side mouse buttons are a little difficult to get used to but I can see why they designed it that way. When you have two hands to use it's really not much of a problem but who wants to put their beer down every time they wanna click on something? Suggestions for improvements - side scrolling would be AWESOME and if the trackball itself could be pressed as a left-mouse button then there'd be no stopping it! All in all we like it a lot - way better than the full-sized wireless keyboard we were using before. So far the batteries seem to be lasting longer than expected considering how much we use it!

Excellent range, no hassle to install, it was a pure plug and play! If everything I purchased worked as well as this product does I would be one happy camper. Great price, great feel, great performance and very versatile.

I bought this to control my living room PC media center and its great! The trackball takes some getting use to but it works good. The auto sleep function is great for saving battery (just touch a key and it comes back on) The range is great works all throughout my living room. Def a perfect solution for a media center PC

The design, feel, trackball, range, size,and overall look of it is great. The problem is There is no support driver so right from the beginning the mouse was jumping around my screen like crazy. I had to google around for some support because there is absolutely no customer support on this product or number to contact. I really like the keyboard and want to use it mainly for my media center. I finally found a driver for another similar keyboard and used that so my pointer stop jumping around. After a week it would start started acting up again and would selecting everything icon instead of just one. By then I was already frustrated. The scroll stopped working properly and customer service wouldn't work on issuing a replacement. I'm not a computer illiterate so I did spend quite a bit of time on-line trying to find a solution on the issue. From possible sticky keys to hardware incompatibilities.

This is everything you would want in a wireless keyboard... unless you want a "great feeling" trackball. That said, the trackball being "adequate" is the only thing that hardens this review... otherwise, I would be gushing. I did expect a little more solid trackball design for $50. This is a great keyboard.

I purchased this keyboard about 9 months ago. I am happy with it's performance, especially for the price. I purchased this hoping it would work for both my PS3 and for my Win XP HTPC. I use a kvm (for keyboard and mouse connectivity only) to connect to both devices IOGear 2-Port MiniView Micro USB PLUS KVM Switch with Audio and Cables GCS632U. I have full functionality in Win XP, internet buttons work, even has a sensitivity setting for the trackball. I use to change between the PS3 and the HTPC. I use my TV's HDMI selector to select between audio and video streams. This keyboard works well for watching movies, browsing int, etc on the PS3. Pros: 1-cheap 2-long battery life (using for HTPC 5 hrs a day) batteries are lasting about 6 mos. Batteries would likely even last longer if I turned the switch on the keyboard to "off". This unit does so well on "no battery use standby mode", I choose not to even use the "off" switch. After maybe 10 min, the first key you touch is not  more

I bought 2 of these for very limited usage. One is still working fine, one died after about 3 months. I've read in reviews that many people have the same difficulties where once you click down on the mouse button the curser acts like the old asteroids hyperspace button and jumps to another place on the screen. Since it does this when you click the mouse, it's common for it to click unpredictable locations of the screen, such as close window or whatever it happens to randomly hit upon. Also you can't remove the trackball for cleaning and it begins to start sticking within the first week or two. I'm moving on and will NEVER BUY ANOTHER one of these IOGear boards again. This thing is absolute JUNK! IOGear, don't bother appologizing and asking me to send it in for an RMA. Last time I was closing a project and asked to save my work it hopped over to NO after I clicked on YES and erased my work. I proceeded to crush the piece of junk into 10k pieces and discarded it into the trash where it belongs.  more

Great product, does the job flawlessly!! I gave it 5 stars, great on the batteries also. It is not only accurate but works as it should where the others don't! The mouse has a on/off switch that it goes off mode if you don't use it for about 20min, it saves battery life but it can be a little awkward because you have to use it before the off mode goes on automatically. Other than that it is a great product and trust me it does the job that many don't!

Construction is good, does what it is suppose to, range is excellent for what I use it for (Home Theater PC) and I am actually writing this review on it because my laptop is sitting on the table in front of me off. I hooked an old laptop with a broken screen up to my living room LCD TV and put it behind it, put the USB adapter into it, ran a VGA cable from the laptop to the LCD TV, and bam, everything works great. I can get all the online shows, netflix, hulu, and the like and can even write amazon review too it would seem. The device is exactly what you need: keyboard and mouse all in one for the living room. Battery life is an unknown but if you keep it cut off unless using it, so far so good. I do not know if it cuts itself off without use (like a timer) but I make an effort to always turn it off when going away so it doesn't use them up needlessly. One thing that would make it easier is for it to have a mouse button on the same side as the trackball. You can do the "move mouse"  more

Works great, mine wakes up from sleep if you either press a key or move the mouse, seem to have good range as well. Installed on a Win7 system with no extra drivers needed only had to pair keyboard with dongle. My 12 yr old thinks its cool so it cant be all bad!
