There’s apparently been some breakthrough in miniaturisation, since compact wireless keyboards are coming out of the woodwork these days. The latest to tempt you away from your smartphone or tablet’s on-screen layout is this little number which manages to squeeze an optical touchpad and full QWERTY into a form factor that looks smaller than an iPhone.
But it’s not only designed for use with mobile devices. The inclusion of that clickable touchpad means this Bluetooth keyboard can also be used with cursor-driven Windows and Macs. And volume and playback controls extend its usefulness even further, letting is also serve as a wireless multimedia remote for a home theatre PC.

This Trackpad and Mouse Combo in One Is Either Twice As Awful or Half As Good As a Regular Mouse
someone needs to make one of these that isn’t a total pain in the arse to use.
must admit that this doesn’t look too bad to use
I have had one of these for the last few months and there are a few minor problems with it – no \ key. I mean why! I use it on my HTPC and so don’t need it all too often, oh except to browse SMB shares, or switch XBMC between window and full screen mode (changed with a custom keymap). The other thing is that you can only press two keys at once – so no ALT-F4 as F4 is a modifier on the number 4 (so ALT-FN-4). The last thing is that the mouse ‘laser’ light stops working if you leave it switched on for more than 5 minutes – and only comes back if you switch it off and leave it a few minutes. So it’s great for a quick switch on, move around, turn it off but you couldn’t use it for long periods of time without constantly touching the mouse to keep it awake.
Other than that I find it really good for the HTPC when the remote just isn’t enough. I would probably choose another make/model over this one though.
