2.4 GHz mini wireless keyboard with laser trackball mouse

Worked great with Window 7 MCE. Key responds well and well built. I like it. Worth the $$ spent

I did a lot of research before settling on this keyboard/mouse combo for my HTPC setup. I'm glad I did! The wireless receiver has great range - haven't dropped a signal from up to about 12 feet away. The USB receiver dongle is also tucked away on the back of my computer which itself is mounted on my media shelf with DVR, DVD, etc. boxes (I didn't want it sticking out of one of the front ports) and it works perfectly. The mouse is quite smooth and I love the variable DPI in order to change sensitivity for the mouse movement. The mouse buttons are totally intuitive on the LHS of the keyboard and the roller button cinched it for me (other integrated roller ball keyboards I saw didn't have this - only left/right buttons). The keys feel just like a laptop's keyboard - light touch only required for a key to register with the familiar light laptop "snap" sound. Enter key is large as others have commented, but no big deal for me. The only downsides are:

(1) Overall, it does feel a little "cheap" - the mouse buttons when I click them have a hollow feel to them and I do wonder how long they will last

(2) The "vol up" and "vol down" dedicated buttons at the top of the keyboard are the wrong way round! Sound up is on the left, sound down on the right! No big deal.

(3) Back to the "cheap feel" again, I received my unit with one of the red rubber trim pieces on the side hanging off. Looks like it's become unstuck and I will have to re-glue it. No big deal again, but adds to the "cheap feel".

(4) I couldn't see a way to take the mouse ball apart to clean it - I wonder if, over time, dust will get in there and start causing it's own problems?

As I've only had it a few days, I'm not sure how long the battery life is. The instruction sheet mentions 2 months from average use, so we'll see.

So far, overall, I very much like this keyboard/mouse combo and would recommend it to anyone else looking for the same functionality

Excellent choice for HTPC's. Welll constructed, good range, no "lost" letters when typing. Trackball very smooth. Scroll wheel makes life much easier. I researched nearly every mini RF keyboard out there. This one seems to be the best without spending a fortune.

Excellent Mini size wireless keyboard with trackball. very happy with this keyboard and i'm loving it. and thank you for the fast shipping!

trackball was a little defective when i first got it, company was great with a replacement, Overall 9/10. best htpc keyboard that i've seen so far.

The keys and mouse buttons are good. the trackballl is sensitive. The wireless range is great, no line of sight issue even if my knee gets in the way. Definately recommended!

I am thrilled with this keyboard.It has excellent range and a solid keyboard feel and response.I wish some of the hot keys and function keys could be programmed,but the volume control works fine with my PC.I looked at a lot of RF keyboards and read tons of reviews before deciding on the Zippy.For Windows users,make sure you set the keyboard and mouse to "wakeup" in Control Panel.

Very Good!!!, this wireless trackball keyboard is generally an excellent keyboard. The wireless signal is strong, I didn't experience any interference with other devices such as my Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse 2.0. The keyboard action is smooth. The design is unique in terms of incorporating a built-in trackball mouse. It works well for all tasks, except as a keyboard/mouse combination for gaming. I would rate the gaming performance as "fair". There is no included software to allow for programming the hot keys, but it is truly plug-n-play. No drivers to install, no confusion in how to operate all the features.

I got this keyboard matched up with my Samsung 52" Series 6 LCD HDTV. Love the style and the red rubber on the side was a perfect match with the red on the side of my TV. just got to tell everyone this is a really nice looking keyboard, build sturdy and compact size. The Trackball is so much easier to nagivate my mouse pointer on the screen. The best is it has the speed selection to choose from , so it is fast for me draging my mouse pointer from this screen to another end of the screen. 2 thumbs UP!!!
