Adesso WKB-4000US Wireless Mini Touchpad Keyboard - USB, USB - QWERTY - 88 Keys - Black, Silver

I am totally and completely satisfied with this nifty little keyboard! I have never had a problem "waking" it up. Extremely portable and I have not had any problems with connectivity with the dongle. My last wireless keyboard was nothing compared to the quality of this Adesso. I am considering buying another one as a backup for when I wear this one out!!

I purchased this keyboard to use with an old Mac G4 that I wanted to connect to my HDTV. I didn't want to have a separate wireless mouse and found this baby online. The keyboard and integrated track-pad works great and does the job! Highly recommended!

I bought this keyboard 4 months ago and have been using it ever since; it works flawlessly. I was worried about battery life but have not had to change batteries yet. The touchpad is easy to use and works as well as any laptop I've used.

Pros: The keyboard works great. Its utility is great. It is pricey, but a good choice of product if you need something like that. I've been using it for 5 months so far and haven't needed to change batteries yet. It works perfectly with either Vista or XP. Cons: I have connected the USB receiver to a USB KVM switch, so I can use the keyboard for 2 computers, and it works fine. However, KVM's hot-keys keyboard command for switching between computers don't work with this keyboard. Also, I wish the keyboard was designed such that it had a socket to put in the UBS receiver so transportation of the 2 would be easier. Right now I'm afraid to lose the receiver.

This works great with my old Mac G4 Dual. No drivers, it just works. I'm using it to control my Mac w/46" LCD. Its great for media. I have no problem with it sleeping, i just tap the keyboard and it wakes up

I had it out of the box and working within minutes. Touch pad is responsive but doesn't get false positives the way I've had laptops do. Very nice keyboard for a media computer. My only complaint is that when it drops into power save (sleep) mode, it will not come back out. I have to take the batteries out and reboot the keyboard. It only takes a few seconds, but it's a real annoyance.

I connected an old Dell PC to my HDTV so I could surf the Internet from my living room. I have found that the unit works great. I gave it a 4 on performance because the "double-tap a key to wake it up" trick does not work sometimes. I have to pull a battery and put it back in to wake the unit. Once it's running, it's smooth and easy to use. It's almost too light and compact to place on my lap. I wish it would have caps lock, num lock keys, but that's minor. In all, I'm very satisfied with the unit.

Setup was a bit tricky,I had to uninstall all pointing devices for it to work. After that it has been pretty good. I can use it from pretty much anywhere in the room. A few design issues: - no light to tell when caps lock and num lock are on - no light to tell when keyboard is on or off. Other than those things listed above I find it very convenient to use.

I like this keyboard a lot. I use several of them on mobile carts in a warehouse. They have been wonderful to reduce cable clutter. But I don't like the delay when they sleep... that's frustrating : -( But for the price - I think it's a great value!

The keyboard has been terrific. I have my laptop in a closed cabinet (and use a LCD TV as my screen) and use this keyboard from about 15 feet away. It has been absolutely terrific. No problems at all. An added bonus is the compact size of the keyboard - fits neatly in a small drawer when not in use. Batteries have lasted a long time. Great service from Buy.com too

I got this keyboard for my media center pc, which I have made part of my home theater. I was initially skeptical about the product since it is such an unknown brand, but low and behold right out of the box this little keyboard blew my mind. It is neat and petite and so small in form factor, yet amazingly fast and accurate. I have played many PC games using it and never have I regretted having this. The built in track pad also has a scroll pad built in to it. Overall it is light weight, fun to work with,easy to use and goes superbly well with your living room. I had a question and so I called the helpline, and there were there in a jiffy. I recommend this to any user looking for a good combination of cool with function.

Pros: Compact and lightweight. Cons: The wireless signal is weak. Mine only works from <6 ft. away if at that. Oftentimes when I type, I got running lettttttterrrrrrrrrs.

Plugged the dongle into the back of my Fedora/Mythtv box and the keyboard/touchpad worked - no software changes required. Using it at about 18 feet I get occasional key bounce, but nothing horrible. Touchpad is reliable, and for my uses much more convenient than a separate mouse. I still use a wired keyboard/mouse when working for extended periods, but for short uses (including controlling Mythtv) it's just about ideal.

This keyboard works flawlessly with my HTPC system. No 3rd party drivers required, just plug it in and let Windows find the drivers automatically. The RF signal is great, no need to point the keyboard at the computer and it works from 100 feet away. My only complaint would be that it feels a bit flimsy for the price paid but the overall design and function is good.

This keyboard is great! Its very responsive from both the keyboard and the trackpad. It's very thin, light and compact. It's great for having a Mac or PC connected to your TV and sitting on the couch to use it. It has a great range, I have had no problems using it another room from about 25 feet away. The battery life appears to be good but only time will tell. The price tag is a little high, but now that I own one I see its well worth the price.

I ordered this from Buy.com, and believe it or not, I received it the next day. The product itself is super easy to install and use. Place the 4 AAA batteries into the keyboard, plug in the USB device and depress its little micro switch, press the function (FN) button on the keyboard and you are off and running. I use mine about 15 feet away, and have absolutely no connectivity problems. After about 10 minutes of NOT using it, the unit goes into a sleep mode, which I believe is a power saving feature. Simply depress the FN button,, and you are instantly back up. There is one small thing I need to get used to though. The touch pad, has a built in page scroller. It is very easy to accidentally slide your finger too far to the right of the pad, and start scrolling the page, when you only actually want to move the cursor around. A nice little fix for this (in case the manufacturer is reading this) would be to have a small border separating the page scrolling from the cursor movement. Just takes a little getting used to. Overall, I think this item is a great value, operates near perfect and is so nice to use, since there are no cables. I use mine with my Windows Media Center and LCD TV. If you decide to buy one of these wireless keyboard mouse combos, you will be very satisfied.

The touchpad works great. It is much smaller and lighter than I expected. Has a nice, high quality feel. Perfect key weight. My only gripe is that the [FUNC] key and the [CTRL] key are opposite of the usual positions. Actually, my other gripe is that it is too easy to accidentally hit the touchpad while typing, which moves your cursor. Other than that, I love the size, performance, and ease of use. It wakes up from sleep mode seemingly instantly. Absolutely no setup or installation on Windows XP Pro.

I've owned this keyboard for 5 months. It is an excellent choice to use as a remote keyboard/mouse for a home theatre PC. The built-in touchpad works great - much more versatile than a wireless mouse. I typically use the keyboard at a distance of 15-18 feet from the PC, with no connectivity issues, using the TV monitor for Web surfing, etc. The battery life is great - keyboard goes into shutdown mode after a short period of inactivity. Installation is simple - plug the USB wireless receiver into the PC, boot up the PC (which detects the USB keyboard), hit the 'FN' key in the lower left corner of the keyboard to 'wake up' the wireless connection, and you're set!! I am very satisfied with the performance of this keyboard - best price/performance choice out there!!!
