Rii Mini Wireless Handheld Keyboard with Touchpad / Mouse / Laser Pointer for PC HTPC TV PAD- White

Is kind of nice to use but causes more trouble than any good.This device always has my computer as sketchy. Blue tooth is no favorite of mine anyways. I don't like no blue tooth device ever.I thought it was rf like logitech mice. Those mice/trackballs are nice. However those are just pointing devices. Logitech has a keyboard that is wireless but I never tried this. I think the dongle there used for the mice can be used on the keyboard too for logitech. I don't think they have any small track pads, and small keyboards though.The response on this thing can be good at times and horrible at times. It really bugs me to the nth degree. I've been trying to get this thing working now for about 4 hours. I got it to work but it doesn't work to my satisfaction. Maybe without security it would function better. (without pairing). The pad is small too. Can be responsive in some user names but not in others it seems. I've had it hang some in both as well. I am not sure how to change the sensitivity. I have the controls almost all the way up but for the laptop trackpad. Rii I guess is the brand.The laser works nice and it is rechargeable. Using on a win7 i5 hp elitebook machine. When you turn it off and back on it takes a while to pair up again. I feel like I wasted my money. I thought I could get away from a hot laptop in my lap and being all crunched over but now I am more bothered with it's dysfunction or halt in function at times. Also instead of those tablets and their virtual keyboards I thought I could have an actual in your hand keyboard. Those "on screen keyboards" I have tried and can't type well on those. Also I have trouble finding special keys like"_". I don't think this item will be the solution or a good solution. Anything I have ever had as a bluetooth device, never has been much of anything good. I don't know how fast it operates but that pairing and break up and reconnecting is a pain. The windows software also is very bad in ease of use. With networking it is easy. Maybe you have to create a personal network with bluetooth. You want security with a keyboard however but I don't think bluetooth is the right solution.The keyboard was slightly bigger than I thought but fits. The keys are raised to like a bump. I was hoping more for an indent or key like action. That bubble press stuff kind of stinks or don't like the reaction and feel to it. Either you don't press hard enough and miss a key stroke or you have to hit the keys hard and slow to guarantee you will get one character but might get more than one character with a bounce like reaction from that raised button.Those keypads like that make me upset and bothered.I will try training myself with this keyboard but I don't think I will appreciate it's function any better. It is a closet or junk drawer item. This can go with the rest of my blue tooth junk. I think I might like it more than a screen keyboard but not much more.The packaging was tight and I ripped it apart to get at it. Now I want to send it back. I don't know if I can do that now, or not.In the book it talks about a blue led when connecting and it is green.

Purchased this keyboard to use with a HTPC I recently set up. The keyboard is about the same size as the QWERTY keyboard on a smartphone (more specifically, smartphones that have a slide-out physical keyboard), so if you're used to texting with a smartphone, it's quite easy to adapt to this keyboard. In fact, if you're really good at texting, it may be possible to type TOO fast on this keyboard, as I've noticed it sometimes tends to miss the occasional keypress if I try to type as fast as I normally do on my phone. Just an FYI.The touchpad works well, but I must admit that the mouse buttons can be a little cumbersome, especially if you need to click, hold and drag something on the screen. Unless you have VERY flexible fingers, clicking and dragging requires both hands, which can easily get cramped for space. It would have been nice for the manufacturer to include a second set of mouse buttons on the left side of the keyboard to make click-drag functions less of a cramped endeavor. However, the touchpad does have tap-to-click and doubletap-hold to drag, so this can help with that minor issue. Also, the virtual scroll wheel (Accessible by holding the Fn key and dragging up/down on the touchpad) is extremely handy.Although not something I'd ever use or need, it's kinda neat that it has a built-in laser pointer. This would likely make this a good keyboard to use for presentation purposes.Finally, I really like that it has a built-in rechargeable battery, and that it charges via ordinary USB.And now for the previously-mentioned caveats. Although primarily designed for Windows or Linux, this keyboard will mostly work with a Mac. In fact, my HTPC happens to be a Mac Mini. But, there are a few limitations I've observed, one of which I noticed before I even started using it.First...although it will work with a Mac, the way this keyboard is designed means that you cannot perform any keyboard shortcuts that require you to simultaneously press Ctrl+Command. When using a Windows-based keyboard with a Mac, the "Windows" key functions as the Command key, while Ctrl and Alt remain the same. This is fine for full-size keyboards which have Ctrl and Windows on separate keys, but this keyboard has Ctrl and Windows, thus Ctrl and Command, on the same key. Toggling "Fn" determines whether pressing the key produces Ctrl or Windows/Command. Therefore, it is physically impossible to simultaneously press Ctrl+Command using this keyboard, without remapping the Command key somewhere else.Second...not all of the media hotkeys work with OS X, at least not in the programs I've used so far. The volume and mute buttons do work, but not the play/pause, back or forward buttons. Depending on what programs you're using, this may or may not be an issue to you. Even though not all of the media hotkeys work for me, all of the programs I've been using so far have alternate keys that perform the same functions, such as the space bar for play/pause, and the arrow keys for back or forward. Still, it's worth noting.Third...The touchpad seems to be really sensitive and jumpy when using it with a Mac. Now, I'm actually not blaming the touchpad or keyboard itself for this, because I've noticed issues with mouse sensitivity when using any non-Apple touchpad with a Mac (Of course, Apple-branded touchpads seem to work just fine...go figure). I think this is less a limitation of this particular keyboard, and more a minor compatibility glitch when using a touchpad primarily designed for use on a PC with a Mac. To be fair to this keyboard, I did try it on my Windows 7 laptop when I first got it just to experiment, and it worked perfectly fine with no sensitivity issues.So, to sum up, this is a very good HTPC keyboard that works well in most applications, but watch for missed keypresses if you try typing too fast, and be prepared to potentially cramp your hands if you try to perform click-drag functions with the touchpad and mouse buttons. Also, when using this keyboard with a Mac, be aware that it does have some limitations which could potentially be a bother depending on your setup/situation (no Ctrl+Command support without remapping, not all of the media hotkeys work, and the touchpad can be sensitive/jumpy).

Love it, looks so cool!happy with my purchase I think I will be buying another one for my other computer I love the style of this one.I bought a black one last year it was not built like this one.Quality Is why better on the white one thank u.
