Cons: Hot-keys are very annoying but changeable and no lights so harder to use in dark.

Pros: Lightweight, responsive keys, usable cursor option, easy on eyes, easy on wallet.
Comment:
I bought this a while ago from NCIX hoping to get a wireless keyboard for surfing the net. This keyboard does just the thing. Now I can surf on my bed and on the coach from my TV. I also don`t need to use a mouse because of the cursor controls on the top left and right. The only thing I think could make this product better would be a back-lit keyboard for writing papers in the dark (even though I know it drains power) and having the hot-keys as the option with the fn control key. I still haven`t needed to change the batteries and for $38, this thing is a steal, even for just surfing in front of a TV!

Cons: -touchpad sensitivity can be touchy (especially on 1920x1080 resolution)-wireless connection can by iffy if you don't have line-of-sight of the transmitter-default layout has the media keys on instead of the Function keys (F1-F12). e.g. if you want to get F5 (refresh) you need to press Fn+F5.

Pros: -compact design-built-in pointer (just like a Blackberry touchpad) & buttons-uses 2xAA (longer life than 2xAAA designs)-rubber-like underside (like the cover on a Thinkpad) for better grip-standard USA ANSI key layout moostly (French version is also available)
Comment:
I bought it to replace the less than ideal layout bilingual wireless keyboard & mouse that came with my Acer Revo R3610 which I use as my HTPC. This HP keyboard feels very solid and has my preferred key layout (US ANSI). It is very compact since the right mouse button doubles as the pointer (like a Blackberry touchpad on a BB9700) so it does not need extra space for a trackball or 3"x2" trackpad.The touchpad can take some getting used to especially on higher resolutions (1920x1080) and may require some fine tuning of mouse pointer speed. The wireless can be iffy if you don't have line-of-sight of the transmitter (I sit about 8-10ft away). I initially installed the transmitter on the back USB ports on the Revo and was getting weird keystrokes/repeating keys like the keys I was pressing were stuck for 2-3 seconds. After I moved it to the top USB port (so I had line-of-sight with the side of the transmitter) everything worked normally. You also have to use 2 hands to use it since the mouse movement pointer is on the right side and the left-click is on the left side. The only downside for me is that the function keys (F1-F12) default to media keys (play/ff/rw/stop/sleep/etc) instead of function keys. I use the function keys more than the media keys. Overall it's a very good and reasonably priced HTPC keyboard.

Cons: touch pad inaccurate

Pros: compact, build quality, range
Comment:
bought it to use in front of the tv, feels very slick, light but not too light. I wouldn't recommend relying on the touch pad, it's just not very good. Having left click on the other end of the keyboard is also weird. I didn't by it for the mouse ffunctions though so I'm pretty happy with it.
