I have only been looking for 10 years now for the perfect keyboard to watch computer TV from my recliner or while sitting up in bed. I have had this perfect design in my mind. Addesso finally read my mind and created the perfect keyboard.

It is small, easy to handle and the mouse functions are in exactly the right place. On the top right corner of the keyboard you have the trackball mouse for your thumb. Your index finger is conveniently placed on the left mouse button. In the upper left corner you have both left and right mouse buttons for your left thumb. Then you have your left index finger conveniently placed on the scroll wheel.

This is the first keyboard I've had in my life where the function buttons along the top of the keyboard actually work. I use the keyboard with my home theater system and Windows 7 Media Center. I can manipulate recorded TV programs with ease.

This is a smart keyboard for leaning back in your recliner.

I have (as many others) one of my laptops connected to my TV. I looked for a long time for a good wireless keyboard so I don't have to get up every time to go to another website or start another hulu program. Remarkably, there aren't that many wireless keyboard available that have a trackball or touchpad so you can easily move your pointer around the screen. And those few who have are usually very expensive.

I *love* this Adesso wireless keyboard!!! It effortlessly connected and works perfect. Has left and right click buttons, a scrolling wheel, controls for volume, and just works really well. The best thing ... this is one of the cheapest wireless keyboards available! I'm thinking of buying one or two more to connect to my other TV sets and give to friends as presents.

We are using the keyboard at our information desk for our hostesses to use in helping visitors navigate through our website, sign-up for events and just for information within the church.

Great having the mouse incorporated into the keyboard. A little learning curve and a bit akward to begin with, but after using it a few times it is awesome! Especially to keep the information desk clutter free of wires.

Recommend anyone to purchase this, matter of fact, going to purchase one for home to use on the home theatre, yet another great place for it!

Nice looking unit and good feel but mouse tracking is a little rough. I'm a bit disappointed that the range is considerably less than the 100 feet stated in the manufacturer's promo.

Worked just as described. Easy to hook up and use. Button placements are perfect. Works with our media center running Win7.

This keyboard feels very nice in the hands and using the mouse is really easy. So far about 3 weeks on original batteries. Problem is is that it is advertised as up to 100ft range. DONT believe it!! It has trouble at 20' unless I aim the keyboard directly at the dongle. I am very unhappy with the lies used in advertising this. The entire reason I bought this one was because I needed about 30 feet range. It is so sporadic at that range that it is useless.

After a week of using, this keyboard is really a good product. I do recommend it, but there is one more functional thing would like to chare to people that....fast typermay dislike it....as it response some what slow....

My mother complain the key was not easy to type, and then I teied to type some sentences...it comes out...missing letters......I use another key board with the same typing speed, did not get any problem.....

I just receive this keyboard today and immediately connect to the PC and...it turns....SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!

The design of this keyboard is just what I have been wanting for a long while! And noe, it is in the market, especially, in my hand.

You can scroll up and down by your left hand index finger, the left and right keys of a mouse is now under left hand thumb, and also a quick left key button at your right index finger position.

You can control the volume, media play, IE just like a regular multi-media keyboard but with advanced convenience and size.

the only thing I want to complain is that ...it does not have an indication light to show the on/off of the "num lock" and "Caps Lock" keys...so that you cannot know wether you have turned on or off of these two keys besides by typing and finding the error.....|||||

Still, highly recommend to people who want to have a convenient kayboard with good handling size, build-in mouse (especially ---- optical track ball), moderate feeling of the keys.

Simple setup! Put the batteries in the keyboard, plug in the USB transceiver and it starts working.

I am using it at home on a notebook computer up to 80 feet away.

I am using it a work instead of my work keyboard and mouse.

I have been using it 14 days, all day at work and some in the evening at home on the same set of batteries it came with.

I plan ordering one of the following for work next month, (to have the 10key pad:
Adesso 2.4 GHz RF Wireless Multimedia/MCE Keyboard with Optical Trackball

Multimedia Keyboard and Optical Trackball

It fits nicely in your hands for home, kitchen or living room work.

If you used it alot for media center in a home theatre environment, back lighting might be helpful.

I recently bought a 42" flat screen T.V. and connected by labtop to the TV by HDMI ($0.39 from [...]). After purchasing this keyboard, I can now sit on my couch across from my television and control all aspects of my computer from this keyboard. The scroll bar is great, the trigger with trackball fit comfortably and naturally. Trackball speed need to be adjusted to preference but easy to do from control panel on computer. This product has made internet browsing and watching movies and clips far more comfortable. It also has movie/music control buttons (play, pause, rewind, stop, ffwd) all built into the keyboard. The product literally lets you place a keyboard in your lap and control your computer from across the room, and if equipped, viewable on a great big T.V. I've already ordered one for my family as well as a friend.

Works well for my HTPC application. Dedicated buttons for navigating in web browsers and Media Center are great.
This is a small keyboard but I think calling it "Mini" is exaggerating.
Track ball takes some practice and occasionally has stops and starts. Lack of CAP lock and NUM lock lights make entering passwords frustrating.
Overall it fits the bill better than I had expected.

Comments about Adesso 2.4 GHz RF Wireless Mini Keyboard with Optical Trackball - USB:

This keyboard feels like it was built to fit your hands. All the mouse controls feel like extensions of your fingers and navigating the TV screen from the couch is great. The controls were well thought out as well as the overall shape. When it's time to use the keyboard it sits securely on your legs and is very easy to type on. As of this writing I have yet to get into the other controls like the preset keys, so far I haven't needed them. So far it has given me every reason to recommend it.

I use this product to operate my pc on my tv monitor, most often to control windows 7 media center. It works great, however, a better description of which additional keys do what would have been helpful.

Comments about Adesso 2.4 GHz RF Wireless Mini Keyboard with Optical Trackball - USB:

Great design, love the mouse button layout and scroll wheel. Wireless lets me go across the room and control my computer (Ubuntu 9.10 OS) while using my 42" TV as the monitor. Very user friendly.

Comments about Adesso 2.4 GHz RF Wireless Mini Keyboard with Optical Trackball - USB:

I bought this keyboard not because I needed a wireless keyboard but because I needed a mouse that doesn't hurt my wrist. This thing is great. Very comfortable on the lap or on the desk. My only complaint is that it's wireless and requires batteries. I'd love to find a wired version of this great device. Also, a larger, ten-key version would be cool too.

The best part about this product is that the Page up/down, home/end, and backspace all lie within reach of the right thumb making web browsing super easy.

Comments about Adesso 2.4 GHz RF Wireless Mini Keyboard with Optical Trackball - USB:

I researched several mini keyboards with trackballs and this one got great reviews. I see why. I use it for my media center. The receiver is about 15 feet away and always has a strong signal. Great product!

Had a logitech, it only worked to 8 feet, but most TV's are 10-15 feet from the couch. replaced it with the Adesso and it works great, no separate mouse with the integrated trackball and ergonomic mouse buttons. Set up required me to find a channel that did not conflict with a wireless access point, but after a few different channel tries, it worked fine. This make surfing the net on your TV awesome. Just put an old laptop in the tv console, hook up the vga and it's great.
