Good keyboard for my living room, July 27, 2012

I had a regular keyboard for my Google TV in the living room. It's big and clumsy, pain in the neck to move around. Earlier this month, after a coffee incident by my wife, the space key stopped working and i finally got the excuse to retire it.The size of the keyboard is ideal. My not so giant hands can handel it well. It fits perfectly in my entertainment center drawer along with all my other remotes, where it belongs. Setup is a breeze and it works like a charm with my logi tech revue . My wife likes its simplicity and easy to use. What can i said.The price is about right: I don't want to spend $60-70 on a name mini-keyboard unless you want to use your keyboard 45 feet away from the monitor - which is rather absurd.

It's a bit smaller then it looks.I hooked this to my 8 year old laptop (MS Windows 7) that is serving as my Home Theater PC / Skype machine. The dongle plugged right in, autoconfigured in seconds and the keyboard was functional right away.I purchased this one because not many keyboards have mouse buttons on the opposite side of the track pad. In this case, there is an addition set of mouse buttons on the left side of the keyboard, as well as two buttons on either side of the track pad. So no need to move and readjust the keyboard to use the mouse (ie, click and drag). It does this VERY well.The battery is a common rechargable battery (Blackberry I believe), and therefore somewhat future proof.Very nice little unit. Wish I could have it in black. But that's clearly a super minor deal.

This works well with my windows 7 64bit and W8 64bit Home Premium PCs. A good little device. I would recommend buying one.
