2.4GHz Wireless Technology

RF technology is superior to the Infrared technology used by most wireless keyboards, because with RF technology you do not have to have the keyboard pointed directly at the host computer. The keyboard will easily operate through the closed doors of your home entertainment center, walls and other obstacles.
Media Center HotKeys and Remote Control Features
It serves up a practical and attractive solution for ending cable clutter. Eight Media Center hotkeys are conveniently located at the bottom of the unit and pave the way for easy access to the Internet, TV or radio programs, and connected media players (DVD, MP3, etc,). Instant media access is just the push of a button away. Additionally, a 14-key remote control, included, lets the user easily operate any connected media from across the room.
Optical Track Ball
A space-saving 800-DPI optical trackball with a 360-degree navigation capability, makes the unit even more mobile or lap friendly, and its not necessary to have a flat surface to operate a mouse. The optical track ball eliminates the navigation problems faced by track pad users with moist, sweaty or calloused fingers.
Offering quiet operation, the well-made, black, flat unit is a sleek 16.7O long x 5.9O deep x 1.2O thick. Its lightweight ergonomic design makes it easy to hold and operate.
