Comments about Iogear 2.4GHz Multimedia Mini Keyboard with Laser Trackball, Scroll Wheel and Backlight:
have used this key pad for a month-- better than expected-- track ball is ten times better than a touch pad -- the back lighting (blue) is ok, but I think orange or white light would be much better. Except for the blue lighting this would be a Five STAR . I have a PC connected to my 73"HDTV and I use this key pad to surf the web, email, and to sream video from netflix, vudu,hulu and any other site. I have not tested for maximum range, but I use it at about a twenty foot distance with out any problems at all. I do not know of any other key board (at any price)that can satisfy my needs as well as this one. This is high guality and well worth the [$] I paid.
