Keyboard Reviews

not very tall, good for elevating, looks nice and not bulky or bad, fits in good with a nice laptop.

We often buy more than 2 stylus pens for our pda so far. But, we don't have to do any more with this PDA Panache Deluxe Stylus pen which is compatible with stylus holders of Palm m100 series. It's strong enough to use as long as the palm and the design is also cool!!! It cost a little bit higher than the regular stylus pen but you can save the same money because you don't have to buy again as it's not broken at all unless you don't lose it. However, I hope to say that there's real stylus pen for palm series now with stroung body and perfect capatatiblity.

This is an excellent stylus/pen combination. I bought this exact item from a store near where I live, and have had it for several weeks. It is durable, easy to switch between pens and a stylus. My only complaint is that it slips out of your hand after a long period of use, but it's excellent for usual use. I'm going to order another one for my visor!

This is a simple and compact way to use keystrokes instead of grafitti and not pay $499 for a new Clie to do it. It attaches easily and isn't bulky like a large keyboard. It doesn't replace grafitti, just gives you another option. I find it much faster.

This bag is compact, very light, and cheap. It can hold your compact or mid-size camcorder, it's charger, and a few extra tapes. It's a nice bag to have if you just bring your camcorder on family vacations. It is also very durable. If you have a larger camcorder or use your camcorder frequently I suggest a larger more expensive bag.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the RF range of this product. After you work out all of the settings, you can do what you need to do from a good distance away, unlike many of those lousy IR Keyboards and mice. No messy or clunky transmitter either. All you need is a USB port on your computer to use a small dongle-sized USB transmitter. If you are running an 802.11b/g wireless network, you have no worries either as these devices run on a totally different frequency band.
The keyboard is solid and easy to use, with some nice one-touch buttons that, sadly, don't seem to be customizable.
The wireless optical scrolling mouse, although functional, is a little small for my tastes. You may run into problems getting the mouse to work but, once you fix that issue (by using a pen or paper clip to synchronize the channels on the transmitter and the mouse) it is a nice item. To save battery power, the mouse will go to sleep/power-off when you're not using it, so I typically just roll the wheel or move it around to "wake it up".
The communicator remote is a really nice bonus as it is an almost seamlessly integrated product with Microsoft PowerPoint, and is a great little tool for doing a presentation. For the money, this is an excellent product to have, even with it's little imperfections.

I have used this product in about 10 presentations since I bought it. I couldn't be more satisfied.

The major difference between this remote and (most) others is that this is NOT a mouse, it is a keyboard emulation. The advantage is that you can actually go back (reverse your presentation), which is something that is very cumbersome with a mouse (right-click, then choose Previous menu option).

The most used buttons are obviously forward and reverse, but I certainly do appreciate the "Hide slide" button. The hide slide effectively blanks out the screen, which is good if you want your audience not to see your slide when they walk in the room, or for an intermission, or when you draw something on a board, etc. Unfortunately, I have experienced some minor problems with the Hide slide button in PowerPoint 2003. No problems in earlier versions.

The only downside I have experienced is some interference from computer speakers. If your computer speakers are positioned between the remote and your receiver in the USB port, you may have to click twice to actually get the signal through. (NOTE: no, this is not infrared and doesn't require line-of-sight; it is RF).

No infrared pointer on this model, but Interlink has another model that does have a pointer.

Overall, this is probably one of the most useful peripherals I have ever bought!

Nobody just makes a keyboard any more. I don't need multimedia and webbrowsing buttons. I don't need my keyboard to not have a wire. I just need something with buttons that are pleasant to push.

The Viewsonic Viewmate fits this profile fairly well. It has a row of multimedia buttons across the top that are small and unobtrusive. The spacebar bows forward slightly, a feature I could either take or leave.

The keys are soft and responsive. The shift keys press nicely even if you only catch the corner with your fingertip instead of the center. The keypresses are quiet.

The three 'Windows' buttons are present, but the 'Win98' power/sleep buttons are not. This doesn't matter to me, since I've never had a USB keyboard where those buttons worked properly anyway. As a programmer, the location of the |\ button disturbs me a little - since the keyboard has a full size enter as well as a full-size backspace key, the |\ key is to the right of the right-hand shift. You can still hit it with your pinky, but you have to remember to go right, not up.

The arrow keys are in the standard place, and are pleasantly distant from Del/End/Pgdn. There is a full numberpad. Numlock/Capslock lights are bright and easy to see even from an angle.

The box contains only the keyboard, and maybe a registration card. Installation is simple - plug it in and go.

In these days where you can hardly just buy a simple keyboard any more, Viewsonic makes a good offering. If you just want to type on your keyboard, this may very well be the one for you.

Got this wired keyboard because I have had some trouble with the Logitech brand wireless keyboards and I didn't want to have to fork down a LOT of money for a keyboard with the advanced features. This keyboard is a great purchase for the money. It so far has given me NO trouble whatsoever and looks to do everything the more expensive keyboards do. A row of buttons above the normal keyboard give access to such things as the internet browser, email client, & the favorites list, etc. To the left of these buttons, one touch access to your word processor, spreadsheet, power point, & calender program are accessible with one touch. On the far right is a media control area with stop, play/pause, forward, previous. Also a one touch power off button for the computer. On the far left, a scroll button for scrolling up & down and clipboard tools. BONUS: All the buttons can be remapped to launch any program you want. The keys are sturdy and feel great when pressed (although the space bar being pressed feels a little weird). This keyboard has everything you could possibly need on a keyboard at a fraction of the cost of other wired keyboards. So far no complaints and am very pleased with the purchase!
