i-rocks RF-6490-BK Black USB RF Wireless Mini Keyboard

Pros: Smooth response, rarely loses signal or misses a key. Quiet and lightweight

Cons: Don't ever lose your RF transceiver, because the outsourced "tech support" will do nothing to help you. When I called customer support I was told in broken English that they would just send me a new USB transceiver via mail if I sent my address to their tech guys... what I received however was a slew of reply emails (also in broken English) telling me to go online to purchase the transceiver (not available individually anywhere), then to send a picture of the model so he would know the model number even though I put the model number in the message AND it was the title of the original email, then he sent me an RMA request form PDF and said if the item was not complete they would send it back (obviously the entire problem was the missing RF hub, so friggin duh). Horrible and frustrating experience. Go with a bigger company with more of a reputation to defend, because these people clearly just don't care!

Pros: Great keyboard!

Cons: None at all!

Pros: Excellent size while retaining the usual 10-key pad

Cons: The enter key is huge and the backspace key is half the size it should be. The previous model had a normal backspace/backslash/enter key layout, then they ruined it with this garbage.

Other Thoughts: Bring back the RF-6520!!

Pros: The box is printed with slick logos.

Cons: Right out of box it "Blue screen of deathed" two different PC at the moment of USB initialization. A third PC kept whining about USB voltage overload. I might investigate this on a more interesting gadget, but a keyboard? I got a RMA.

Other Thoughts: Thank you Newegg for the simple RMA process.

Pros: The keyboard is light yet solid.

Cons: I purchased this keyboard to use with my XBOX 360 for messaging, Netflix/Youtube searches, etc. The keyboard suffers from poor range and unintended duplicate key strokes. The wireless dongle was inserted in the back of the XBOX which is located about 7 feet from the keyboard. The keyboard kept losing contact with the signal and when it did function it was unsuable due to duplication of single key strokes. I moved the dongle to the front of the unit but there was no improvment in functionality.

Other Thoughts: Newegg is a great online retailer but they should discontinue selling products of such shoddy design. Save your time and money by avoiding this item.

Pros: Thin, Cheap. Wireless.

Cons: (I'm going to type the rest of this without editing the keyboards mistakes, I will edit my own typos)

Layout: We have a Print Screen Buttonn(whicch wwold be great if I were Harrison Ford in a Tom Clancy movie) a Pause/Break button, function key and a windowss-function button (I guess it's a right click for your keyboard).... but the BACKSPACE bar is a third of the size of th eEnter button. I hit the backslash more often than the backspace when I'm trying to delete something.

Tthhe wirllessss suckss... I type and nothing appears for a few seconds until the first few letters I type are doubled. Seriously, I let the keyboard mo\allfunctions in this review stand. At seemingly random moments, the keyboard will deciide to hang or double up.

Other Thoughts: Not all wireless keyboards are created equal.

/Returning this.

Pros: Works right out of the box! comes with batteries. seems small but when compared to a laptop keybord its the same size.

Cons: none

Pros: I'm using it from the couch, about 8 feet away from the receiver. The receiver is plugged into the back of a computer in a media cabinet. Still, it seems to work well without lost keystrokes.

Very comfortable for mousing (if that's your thing). Beats the $minor_expletive out of a trackpad, or $deity-forbid, that nip..nub..cl...the eraser thing.

Everything seemed to work (media keys, etc) out of the box on Fedora 16.

Cons: The ginormous enter-key makes me slightly annoyed that the backslash key has been relegated to some $deity-forsaken corner of the keyboard - far from any well-formed, non-alien pinky's reach.

Also, a couple more shortcut keys* would be nice (mail, media player (not just nav), etc).

* I know they're not called shortcut keys. I haven't a clue what they are called.

Other Thoughts: Slingblade was a pretty good movie.

Pros: It works- nice size good layout with number pad!!! :) very light.

Cons: I don't like how bright the LEDs are (little bit of black electrical tape took care of that) and I don't particulary care for how the "enter" key takes up 2 lines and has a crouded numbers row with a small backspace key (I like my dell's layout better with the larger backspace key and the "\" key located below it). The transmitter is a little on the weak side.

Other Thoughts: Overall, I like the size, feel and features of the keyboard. I did encounter some interferance/delays in typing or other such stuff due to reception problems, but I was able to resolve them by attaching the receiver to a USB extension cable and also by removing metal cups and utensils I had sitting on my table that were blocking the signal. After that- I've had no reception issues.

Pros: Compact, thin, and wireless... exactly what I wanted.

Cons: The enter key is larger than necessary, and the backspace key is smaller than I would like and positioned too far away... resolved that by re-mapping the backspace key to the backslash key, which is right next to it.

Other Thoughts: Some have said that this keyboard lags and repeats keystrokes... I had that issue, but resolved it by repositioning the receiver. Ignore the snarky comment about adjusting control panel settings... that reviewer didn't know what they were talking about.st a keyboard issue.
