This wireless keyboard and trackball combination is perfect for a PC we have connected to our TV in the living room. It works from anywhere in the room. Having the trackball in the upper right corner of the keyboard and the mouse buttons in the upper left feels completely natural after just a few moments of use. When not in use, if fits neatly atop a DVD player on a shelf below the TV - it's the same width as the player. As others have reported, the location of the reconnect button is devilishly located on the underside right where your fingers rest when grabbing the keyboard - I inadvertantly pushed it twice in the first hour of use and have since taped a piece of cardboard over it - a quick and dirty fix to an annoying design flaw. Other than that, I'm quite happy with this product.

This keyboard is very good. It's nice and light and the track ball helps a lots when I do my homework since you can just use it straight without the mouse. Looks very modern and impressive. It even has a wheel scroll and all the media controls! I bought lots of keyboard before, expensive gaming keyboards with lights. This one is super easy to use, no software or anything, just plug it in and it works right out of the box. I don't know what others expected of this one but my expectation is pretty much fulfilled. More keyboards should be made this way. Kudos and thank you. Also shipping is SO fast!!! Keep up the good work.

I got this keyboard to go with my laptop and new 65" LCD TV. I now never have to leave the couch! I can watch movies or surf the net with ease. So far the battery life is just fine, with it going into sleep mode fairly quickly to conserve power.

I agree with the con about the reset button, but didn't count off my stars because it was an easy fix and the other advantages were so good. I just taped a plastic bread wrapper ("c" shaped) around the button, with the hole of the "c" where the button is. The thickness of the plastic around the button seems to be tall enough to prevent the button from being pushed (and the tape covers the button too). It was a pretty stupid design flaw, but I can live with it.

Love the track ball, the left and right mouse buttons, and the scroll wheel. I type messages/emails occasionally and it works pretty good, though it may miss a letter now and then (or I do, not quite sure yet). It works great for surfing and navigating the desktop (or your Facebook or MySpace or YouTube pages). The shift key is small, but I find it most of the time.

I wish I had a full media center to test out the TV channel and music keys, but that will come later. Right now I really love it.

I received this product (Adesso WKB-3200UB) on 4/17/09 and it stopped working on 5/16/09. The tech support number 1-800-467-1195 did not work (I tried continuously between 5 to 6 PM on 4/28/09). It seems to be a nonworking number. It did not come with any decent instruction or manuals to begin with. There seemed to be many useful buttons but I could not take advantage of them becasue there was no users manual or tech support. Altough good design, I wish it was built better. As an example, there is no light for power on, capslock, or numlock. You can not tell if they are on or off unless you toggle them back and fourth. And sometimes you don't know what to toggle. The rubber pad at the bottom kept fallout out (poor quality glue). The battery springs were bearely elastic and remain crushed. I tried this and that but still could not make it work. I decided to return it because I did not want to take a chance even though Amazon.com allowed exchange. It's a shame becasue the idea is good. It's the quality and after service that could not support. I suggest that you read other reviews carefully and actualy try the tech support number (1-800-467-1195) before you buy this product. 2.4GHZ Wrls Multimedia Media Center Keyb with optical Trackball)
