Keyboard Reviews

After installation, some functions worked, but was unable to download digital still photos. Finally went to Logitech WEB and downloaded latest software, performed Drive Image prior to installation of downloaded software and executed download. Now able to download digital still photos successfully. Software that came with WEB cam doesn't perform, even crashed my system. Logitech should also provide Technical Support Numbers for frustrated customers in the User Guide. Logitech also put disclaimer on 'latest download software', which didn't give me a warm fuzzy...but I was doing a Drive Image, so I have a fall back position.

I bought this product from ...[price] based on the reviews and the editor's choice .... The outstanding features of this camera is 1. Easy to use, you can take pictures on the way home since batteries are included. Built in microphone, you don't need an extra cord for microphone. 2. Quality is ok for indoor shooting. 3. Price is acceptable. However, there are some shortcoming: 1. No flash, that make your pictures look too dark and no details. 2. No good for outdoor, this camera tend to misjudge the sunlight so most pictures are worst than ones took indoor. And also no good for objects with distance.
After think carefully and did some study on the internet. I decided to return this product. Because most of the time I would use it to shoot as a digital camera. Maybe only once a week doing some video conference. I found one which can meet my need better---"Fujifilm FinPix A101... These are my experience looking for a "not expensive" but quality more than acceptable, "pc-cam" feature, flash light. Hope this review would help those who has similar needs.

The Logitech Traveler is a great web cam! I saw a $1500 Sony Mavica used as a web cam The immage was not as good as this little gem. I took it to The Hoover Dam. Some of the Pics were really good and some were not but who cares. U can snap so many, Just click and then u can delete the junk. I have had so many compliments on the quality. I operate on a 1 gig Athlon with 384MB or memory dial up with Windows ME. Yes the Photos taken at your PC are really great. I have never had any problems with the software . After reading the reviews I am afraid to download any new Upgrades. I see other people on cam. They ask me the brand name because they say the immage is such quality!!!! Thumbs up Here

If you own a 15-20 year old car, you will like this thing. Like an old car, the DV1 is quirky, but because I am more focused on cost (and I have never used a more expensive PDA or owned a new car), I am willing to put up with the shortcomings. It is only an organizer, you can not add software, but that is all I need. My DV1 has never died the big death (though you can see others have), but I can tell it is cheaply made (poor fitting parts). I have had some troubles with syncing with Outlook. I have leared, you have to pay attention to the settings on both DVsync and Companion Link, and still I am not sure why it does what it does. But on the whole I feel ok about syncing now. Outlook is the main reason I got this thing (I am finally using Outlook's calender in a shared setting). And the DV1 is ok for Outlook (maybe only Outlook), it transfers todo items, calender and contacts from (only) your main or root contacts folder. I have tried Royal's PIM for a different organizer, and I prefer Outlook. The DV1's form factor is pretty good, it is small enough to carry comfortably in a coat pocket, but just large enough to be easy to use. I never use the detachable keyboard, and while I see where it might make some data entry tasks easier, it makes others harder, so I feel no great desire to learn how to use it. If you need to take your Outlook information with you and even add a bit to it from the field, but you don't want to pay for anything else, this could be a good organizer for you.

go to radio shack and get this for only 49 american dollars

This is a very good pda. I actually got it at circuit city, not on amazon.com, but still they are the same product. anyways this is a really good pda. it doesn't have internet and software connections, so if your looking for a pda with that you should look for something else. otherwise, this is a good product for if you want to be organized. for instance it has a phone book, even with the tabs so you can skip to a certain letter. Also it has a to do list, and you can check them off once you have done it. also it has a memo area where you can just write down quick memos. Also it has a planner where it gives you the whole month view. Another thing i like about this is that it lets you view what you have written. you don't even have to click on it. it shows you the first line that you have written, on the bottom of the screen. Also it has an area where you can set up things like when you want the week to start, sound on or off, when the auto shut off should kick in, and the format that you want the date set in. Also it has an erea where it shows you your memory usage. Overall this product is great for those of you that want to get organized. I would really recomend buying it. it is good fro those of you just starting to get into the PDA "thing" . BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!!!! c u l8er

I am not a professional graphics artist and mostly draw for pleasure. But still I find that the Graphire series is NOT for drawing purpose. I usually use Corel Painter to do my work and that Graphire series does not support tilt sensing(also limited sensitivity level compared to Intuos Series) puts major limitation to your artistic expression.

If you are going to use your tablet for photo editing or quick simple writing board for presentation purpose go with the Graphire. But if you are going to be drawing Intuos is the choice. I hadn't realized how important tilt sensivity is before using Corel Painter.

Concerning the size, 4X5 will work for a lot of purposes. But then again, if you are into serious drawing I would recommend 6X8. I own 4X5 Graphire tablet and the small size does not allow me to drawing straight from the computer. So I usually have to go through scanning. Take note that the area of 6X8 is actually twice that of 4X5.

I bought the Graphire3 to work with my Ibook. It is a perfect addition to a laptop as its very portable and easy to install. It also replaces the annoying mouse pad and button most laptops have. The only complaint I had was that I didn't have the most up to date operating system on my Mac so had to install the most up to date software for it to run. Unfortunately Wacom was very unhelpful, and I had to figure it out myself. Although this tablet is perfect for somone on the go with a small desk space, it is advisable to get the largest wacom tablet possible as the actual working area can be limiting.

This tablet is great! The installation was super easy and had absolutely no errors/problems. This is great for beginners or advanced. I use it for Flash cartoons, I use it a lot. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to draw or edit photos or whatever. The erasor on the pen is very useful and the buttons are fully customizable. Everything has worked out great.
PS: The shipping was very quick!

I have had one of these beat boxes for over a year and enjoy it. It's fairly easy to use and fun to perform on. It's not a "serious" instrument but it has capabilities that only a few years ago were costing much much more. The keyboard function is fairly limited and has no performance nuance like touch sensitivity, but it works in a pinch. It also has automated mixing and processing capabilities that took a lot of effort and time to execute a few years ago. It definitely allows non musicians (or non-keyboardists) to jam and create club music. Some of the grooves are very good, but most are pop and sure to sound dorky within a few years - but then again - retro gear will have its own appeal several years hence. Likewise, the effects are what are currently "in" in dance production. I like the ease with which effects can be sync-ed to the beat.

As to use by pros - it might be a good addition to a DJ to spice up a mix. I am a guitarist, and I have used this unit as a drum machine with a small combo and it sounds fine through a PA. It's a fun jam box, and the price is right.

I wanted to learn basic keyboard/piano-type keyboard. So for a long time I was looking for a good musical keyboard. When I saw this DJXII under 100 bucks I ordered it immediately.

This has got hundreds of bells and whistles with the keyboard I was looking for. I like it and I am learning keyboard right now.

Look, I'm an accomplished musician and while this thing is fun, it's not something i'd use in the studio. But i sure as heck would use while DJing to fill in between songs. If you are shopping for a keyboard to learn how to play honkey dorey songs, dont get this one. If you are seriously into Hip-hop, techno, and house, this is one cool tool to use!

I had high hopes for this touch pad. I am not especially happy with it. It is rather difficult to scroll with it. It takes a very steady hand & patience to operate, & simply slows me down. Highlighting for copy & pasting is very frustrating. If you are trying to remedy a sore wrist or carpal tunnel, look into the Quillmouse. It's rather expensive ($100) but MUCH better than a touchpad.

It is possible to download a Windows XP driver for this device. However, you really don't need one. I tried the touchpad with the XP driver and without, and found that the pre-installed generic XP driver provided smoother cursor motion. Of course, if you want all the special Glidepoint features, you need the XP driver from the Fellowes Web site, but I found the Glidepoint features to be more annoying than helpful, and the cursor motion became somewhat unpredictable. I recommend just hooking this device up to your Windows XP machine and letting the pre-installed XP (Home Edition) driver do the work. If you do, you'll find that this touchpad functions exceptionally well, and is a great value for the money - much better than those combo keyboard-touchpad devices, which are harder to use and less ergonomically satisfying.

I have long been a fan of glidepoint technology, having been using an Alps touchpad for nearly 6 years that is FINALLY dying in the time that I would have gone through numerous mice. And ALPS wasn't supporting my old baby any longer, so I was out of luck.

I just got this Fellowes Touchpad in the mail yesterday and I am already a VERY happy camper. I love the versatility of it and the programmable features, such as "gestures" which allows you to set up a symbol recognition system that you create similar to the Graffiti alphabet on Palm OS handhelds. There are also buttons for your default web browser and e-mail programs. Plus one other button for whatever you want it to be.

In addition, there are scroll and zoom bars on the right and bottom sides of the pad which make web surfing very nice indeed. The pad also has a zoom feature on the left side, and back/forward along the top. The top right corner is blue and works like your right mouse button.

You also have 2 conventional buttons for right and left just below the touchpad area.

I was worried that it would not be compatible with my Win XP, but I went to the Fellowes site and they have a compatible (just not M-soft stamp-of-approvaled) driver that works fine without any glitches with the touchpad.

I bought this product almost a month ago. Received it from amazon within a couple days. Sent my specs to Fellowes for the custom keyguard thru email. No response within a week. Wrote customer service. No response again. Its now 3 weeks later, and still no response and no custom keyguard. I knew Fellowes was hit and miss with their products, but I would have at least liked to have seen the keyguard. Bleh.

I have 6 keyboards in my business that are used daily, and this product helps keep dust and other contaminants out of the electronics part of the keyboard. Where can I order the skins?

I purchased our first one close to 4 years ago. And it still is just as nice as the first day that I put it on my keyboard. We just purchased a new computer and was dissappointed that I could not find it in any of the stores in my area that their website said carried this product. My husband suggested that I check Amazon.com. Glad that I listened to him, too, saved ourselves $10.00. Great product, really! I have been telling all our friends that they need one of these skins for their keyboards. Now I can tell them where they can get a good deal, also.

I haven't used alot of differant keyboards but I am supprised that this one has an extended hub on it. This keyboard came with my Imac and I think its great. I just pluged in my mouse on one side and my printer on the other and to my supprise printed! The fact that it is clear and black does make dust and dirt very noticable when present. But it looks very nice and with an extra usb port I'm happy with it.

The new apple keyboards have black keys and clear plastic...cool look and the usual functionality.

...are those who can't properly use spell checker.

The power and sleep buttons are the same size and height regular keys which make them easy to bump when using navigation keys or number pad. Almost all Belkin keyboards are like this. I'd bump them even when reaching for something on my desk and I'd lose hours of stupidly unsaved work. Waiting for your computer to start up again isn't fun either. Other times I'd bump the sleep button, which was less disastrous, but just as infuriating. Adding insult to injury, the power button would not turn the computer back on or wake it. I finally ended up taking a hammer to it. Funny, now that it's in a thousand peices, it still works as well as when I first got it.

I looked at this keyboard in a store and discoverd that while it is called "ergonomic", it is flat. It doesn't curve up in the middle like ergonomic keyboards from Microsoft and Logitech. You can't tell this from the pictures on Amazon. However, the Belkin Ergoboard Pro does curve, but as I write this it is not for sale on Amazon.

Although, being honest, I should admit that it's my first ergonomic keyboard, but I had a chance to use all kinds of other regular keyboards for more that 14 years of my computer-related experience. You must know that this keyboard appears to be highly reliable (so far), it's not light, it does have a very convenient key layout and a good key action. It's not noisy, not too easy or too hard to press. And yes, it does look cool. I never had an ergo keyboard before, because I don't believe in low-quality and overpriced MS products. Also, Logitech keyboards and too expensive and I never liked black keybaords, which Logitech somehow prefers to offer.
Belkin products usually offer a great value and reasonable quality (often their quality is higher-than-average), and this keyboard is no exception. It comes with a PS/2 to AT adapter ($5-8 value), which is necessary for users of older desktop systems or for those who use older types of keyboard extension cables.
Everyone in my household now wants one like mine, so I will probably order three more ErgoBoards. Also the Pro version should be considered by those who want a USB hub.

Well okay, it's not absolutely hideous looking, just a little bit cheesier than the original G3 keyboard that came with the first iMacs, whose style it most obviously resembles. It is also huge in comparison, though you might just say it is generous in its layout. Most importantly, the iMediaKey is actually comfortable to operate, and its many extra programmable buttons are quite convenient to have. A really wonderful, if perhaps confusing, feature is that the F14 & 15 buttons, labeled scroll lock and pause, actually control contrast. I just love this, because otherwise on my iMac I would have to open Displays from a drop down menu and wait for the preference pane to load before accessing the setting. The Function keys respond immediately. Also of course there are volume control keys; they are grouped among the other rather small soft rubber media buttons. These have a real neat feel and I kinda wish all the keys were made of that material.
As for durability, well I only carried this keyboard home last evening, so I can't vouch for that. The two USB ports do not offer as snug a fit as that of Apple's keyboards, but they seem to be working fine none the less. The Power button also has a loose feel to it, but it rides in a deep well; so while I don't fear that it will ever suffer accidental damage, its spring might perhaps wear out before the rest of the device is shot.

Now if you are using Panther as your OS you might want to take advantage of a recent bit of shareware that can modify Function keys. Perhaps over-priced at $20, FunKeys X lets you program keys F1 through 8, Help, and Home, in ways more than do any of its free or similarly priced competitors. You can launch Google without first opening your browser, open any folder, file or application, switch to Finder, control iTunes, Undo, Cut, Copy & Paste all with one touch. It is configured through its own preference pane and is perfectly compatible with iMediaKey!

You know, after pounding out this review on my new Macally keyboard, my eyes have grown more used to it and I don't think it's bad looking at all. Yes, it's really quite attractive...

Feeling dizzy now, gotta go lie down...

This keyboard is great! It is basicly just like an Apple Pro Keyboard. The only difference is the extra 19 programable buttons. They can be used to do almost anything. The defaults have them carry out Volume Adjust, Audio/Video Player buttons (play, ff, stop,etc.) and anything else you want. The only thing I can't get right is the start-up key. But I believe that is happening because of my Mac model. Otherwise, perfect keyboard. I even used it to type this review!

I bought this to replace the Apple Pro keyboard that came with my G4. With the Apple Pro Keyboard, I found myself constantly typing double or triple letters, even if I only pressed down the key lightly. After months of feeling illiterate, I gave up.

After agonizing over a keyboard purchase, I chose the iMediaKey, hoping it might offer some of the same features as the keyboard it was replacing. And it does! It not only has volume controls on it, as well as media eject functions, it also has a POWER BUTTON that works through the USB port! For all those people like myself who really miss that ability to power up off the keyboard, you can welcome it back.

In addition, there are full music controls (FFwd, Rew, Play, Stop, Pause) on the keyboard, buttons for email and your internet browser, and several programmable buttons. The best part about it is that this thing is plug and play- install the software, and all the buttons are pre-configured. Eudora came up immediately, as did IE, which are the two clients I use for email and web respectively.

I like the feel of this keyboard a lot. I'm used to older Mac keyboards, and having to actually type and not touch. You definitely have to push the keys down. But there have been few if any key repeats, and I feel much more confident with this keyboard.

My one complaint is that the caps lock key does not have a light on it and is placed close to the A, so on my first day I was hitting it a lot. That immediately became a non-issue.

If you need to replace your Apple Pro keyboard, this may be the one. I can't vow for durability yet, only because I have only had this keyboard for a little over a week. But for functionality, it's perfect. Knock wood!

If any of you value your sanity or life, stay AWAY!! I got this for Christmas. I was happy because my friend had one and it worked fine for him. Lucky for him, not for me. It didn't work with the drivers that came with it. I had to download the driver from Belkin's site to get it to even recognize that there was a keyboard there. Now, whenever I press a button once, it fills the entire screen with that key. WITH ONLY ONE PRESS. I figured that I might be missing something so I contacted their technical support. A week later I got an email saying I should just download the drivers from the site and not use the one that came with it. They won't take it back or anything, if I ever meet the president of Belkin.......

I just received this keyboard for my palm t3 and it works great. however, there is just 1 issue that would make this perfect, at least for me. The spacebar could have been more centered than it's now. looking at the keyboard, there is really no reason why the "alt" key needs to be on the right of space bar, which is pushing the spacebar towards the left. if they had just put the "alt" key to the left, it would have been perfect as i noticed that tapping on the spacebar on the extreme right edge (due to the fact that it's left bias and I'm using my right thumb) sometimes misses the actual space character.

I'm in high school, and am not good with writing down notes, there is always too many papers. So I saw a different keyboard on the web and wanted to get it for my birthday. I had wanted a keyboard before, for when I go on trips and need a computer to type reports and so on. Well, it was the night before a trip and I had a report that was to determine my final grade due the day after I got home from the trip. I had gotten the project that day too. I couldnt get it online, so I went to staples and this was the only keyboard left. I was so frantic I bought it. And Im definetly glad I did. I use the keyboard for everything, and I can take it anywhere. I like the design the most, it fits inside everything, and is so easy to unfold, that and I've never had a problem with it and have had it for about 2 months now. I love this keyboard!
