You wanted a mini wireless keyboard? Well, you got it! - Page 6

I just picked one up, and it works great. Just takes a little getting use to using it. At least it is bigger than a Palm Treo keyboard, those are a pain to type with. Also tested it with my Xbox 360 and it works with it too. Only problem I had is sometimes it would not work through my hub, but if I left the USB receiver and unplugged the hub's power. Then waited for the computer to acknowledge the disconnect, then reconnect the power and it would work fine. Then again it might be a problem with my hub, it is an older 1.1 model. I typed this with the keyboard trying to get used to it and I have gotten better at doing just this much. I would recommend it.

Bought it and it works great. I was at the mall and just happened to run into one and thought 7day no questions asked return policy Im trying it. Paid 32bux for it in the store with Tax, but hey I wanted it now and I can use it for a trip Im making tomarrow.

The only complaint I have so far is the Space key sometimes sticks and the keyboard overall feels kinda bulky and cheap, but hey its wireless and it connects pretty fast with no drivers.

Not having CTRL, ALT or DELETE isn't a bad thing when you can use the hotkeys script app several pages back.

ok got it to work, works nicely once its working. For odd reason, when i had it hooked up to the hub near the computer, didnt work, but once i connected it to the hub thats in the front of the car, worked beautfiully.

only thing is would've loved it if the keys glowed up or lighted up somehow at night time.

I was thinking this as well. But that'd chew through batteries.

I bought a wireless keyboard off of Ebay here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170127045642

and it works perfectly. I have my carpc in the rear and I never have to turn around to use it. You do not need a line of sight. Very nice keyboard and small...

Add a trackball and 2 mouse buttons and it would be perfect.

Agreed. I just got mine yesterday and it seems very useful.

For those who've had them a while, how often have you had to replace/charge your batteries... since I only will use it ocassionally I expect they'll last a long time, but if it goes thru them really fast maybe I should carry an extra pair...

The Alkaline RadioShack Enercell (regular) batteries that I put in when I first got my keyboard are still in it. I have some Nickel Metal Hydride rechargable to put in when these die, but have not needed to yet. I also have a charger in my car from RadioShack (23-017) for the same batteries. Neat charger, I also use it for my Digital Camera batteries.

Mine is still on the first set of batteries also. It has a sleep feature to save power: if you leave it on but don't use it for a few minutes, it goes to sleep until the next time a key is pressed.

Wow...I didn't realize there were two different versions of this..the Mad Catz (has built in rechargeable battery and USB charge cable) and the Gameshark (uses AAA batteries). I had picked up the Mad Catz one and on my drive back to STL (from Cleveland) it died on me...so I went to go exchange, and they had the Gameshark one...I like the idea of being able to change out the batteries...instead of having an extra cable for charging.
