(More customer reviews)This is a rather nice keyboard, especially at the pricepoint of 29.99.
I got it because I was tired of losing my mouse - the touchpad works great except for when it's cold. For whatever reason, below about 60 degrees, the touchpad doesn't register. Since it's wintertime, it's a minor annoyance to have to rub the touchpad whenever I haven't used it in a while.
I'm using linux, so I'm pretty happy that I haven't had any compatibility issues. The touchpad worked flawlessly the first time I plugged the unit it. The keyboard itself is extremely thin and light, and takes two AA, which is pretty nice. You can swap the touchpad into a numberic pad via a toggle button located above it. It's a pretty nice feature to include, and probably is the best use of the area, as I rarely use the touchpad, except for during spreadsheet data entry, at which point I tend to go mouseless regardless.
The only issues I've had so far are some sporadic problems with keyboard registers. I'm unsure as to what creates this problem, and it's probably more to do with my operating system than the actual device itself, as I've had similar problems with other wireless keyboards. I will note that it occurs less frequently with this keyboard, but that might be because the unit is new, most of the other keyboards I've picked up have been used.
The summation here is that for the price, this keyboard really can't be beat. The four stars instead of five is because of the registering problem and the touchpad difficulties with cold. I might revisit this review should the next batch of updates or a new distribution is released and these two problems go away (they'll indicate a driver problem, instead of hardware problem).
