great wireless kb! October 26, 2008 I have owned this keyboard for a few years now and it still works great. I initially got it because I frequently use a laptop and wanted to use my desktop more. As my desktop display is actually my tv, i needed a setup where i could type and mouse from the couch. The keyboard has good range and was easy to set up. I ended up putting the receiver w/ a usb extension cord since my usb ports are in the back. You do not need special drivers for it. It works great w/ xp, you just press the buttons to pair it like the directions say. At one time, I did have a problem and Adesso RMA'd it w/ no prob. I really have no idea why the "experienced user" and others had issues with it. This kb is great! Rechargeable batteries are a must cause you'll use it alot! :)
Just okay keyboard, trackpad too touchy for my use, cheap feel to construction September 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this keyboard to help with a limited range of motion and some lack of sensation in fingertips. Because of its small size I thought it would help, however the touchppad was way too sensitive. Typing with the heels of my hands resting left and right of the touchpad, getting my fingers near the touchpad "set it off". This might have been a "learning curve" issue but was too annoying for me. I still have the keyboard but use it with a mouse instead of using the touchpad now that my range of motion is somewhat better. Maybe it's set up wrong in software... not really a "plug and play" touchpad for one who's used to a mouse, and the glidepoint touchpad is much more sensitive than my Dell laptop's trackpad. One plus: it seems to work the same with a Mac and a PC. Might be fast and wonderful if the touchpad use is ever mastered.
Satisfied customer with this keyboard March 29, 2008 After installing the drivers on Windows XP, I was surprised at the number of features available for the touchpad. It does everything described in the ad and flawlessly. I experienced non of the problems mentioned by other users. It arrived on time and worked flawlessly out of the box! Very happy with it.
$53 Paper weight January 8, 2008 I need a good keyboard touchpad, this inferior product jumps the cursor around opening and closing windows, someone suggested repairing the crimped USB wires inside, I repaired the wires but the problem still exists.
It seems Adesso products are too flawed for consumer use. I will never purchase Adesso again and recommend buyers to beware of this company's inferior products.
Adesso deserves 0 stars but I had to choose 1
Compact, Integrated Mouse December 31, 2007 I have used this model of keyboard for at least 1000 hours over the last 2-3 years. I have tried various other compact keyboards with integrated mouses, any I could get my hands on. I have not so far found any other model comparable to this one. I have no problems as far as general functionality with Linux or Windows.
There does seem to be a design flaw that the way the cables are routed inside the keyboard, the cable gets pinched and eventually funky things will happen; I opened the back (just a few crosshead screws), fixed the pinched part of the cable and rerouted it, and did not have a problem after that. I have done this with two units of this model.
