I set-up my computer so that you have to log-on before using. I had to enter my password ten times before I could use it because I had no idea if the scroll lock, num lock or cap lock was on. How hard is it to have that on a keyboard?

We have a computer hooked up to our TV, so we needed a wireless keyboard so we can sit in the living room, use the computer and watch programs or use the internet on our TV. This keyboard freezes up constantly, needs to be reset, and about 80% of the time does not reset correctly or after the first try (more often after about 30 minutes of frustration).

The battery cover in the back is completely flimsy and poorly made. Ours does not stay on, and we asked the company for a replacement that we have yet to receive.

This keyboard is nice when it works, but you spend more time wanting to throw it at your TV screen that actually using it to watch online TV.

The keyboard trackball failed after 2 weeks use. We had an older version of the same keyboard that had a failed scroll wheel.
We had to remove the trackball circuitry from that unit and replace it to the new keyboard. It works fine for now.

This is a good idea and I was excited about it, but I used it for about 3 days and it stopped working. I am using Vista Home Premium on a desktop.

Overall, this thing is lame. I got a Microsoft wireless keyboard with a built in notebook-style mousepad that I am very happy with.

I bought this for use with a Windows Media Center computer. It does the job.

However, it is quite heavy and slippery!
