USB Supermini Keyboad Touch Pad Black with built-in

This is not an item that the average person would probably have any real use for, but for some purposes it's indispensable. In my situation I have to support touchscreen PC's that don't have a keyboard or mouse attached, and there are times when a keyboard and mouse are necessary. Rather than carrying around a full sized keyboard and a mouse, and not having a place to set either of them down while using the other (and how do you use a mouse against cinderblock walls if there's no table?), you can hold this in one hand while the other one types on the keys or uses the built-in mouse touchpad. The keys are really small, too tiny for touch-typing but then you won't want this for word processing anyhow.

It's only about 8 inches wide and 6 inches front to back and maybe 5/8" thick; it has a decently long cord attached. (So many items and appliances are ruined by the mfr saving two cents and providing too-short of a cord this one is better.) If you need to have a keyboard and mouse for a computer where there is little space, or where those things are not able to be used conveniently, this is a godsend. Possibly there could be some handicapped persons who would also benefit from a device this small that provides both the keyboard and mouse.

If I have any gripes about this little mini keyboard it is that you have to make sure the num lock hasn't engaged, because if it does, some of the keys revert to typing numbers instead of regular characters as it turns some of the keys into a numeric keypad arrangement, but you get used to watching for this and avoiding it.

You might also find this useful if you have a 'utility' pc tucked away as a file server, which does not usually need a keyboard and mouse left lying around. You plug this in to the USB port, Windows installs it promptly, and voila, you have a keyboard and mouse.

Someone apparently thought my little mini keyboard was pretty cute and walked off with it and I had to buy another one immediately, because for my purposes, there's nothing else like it. I showed the vendor who provides the touch screen PC's and he bought some for his employees to use, and they found out just how handy this is.

It's well made, or so it seems, much like any typical computer keyboard only smaller. If you need a mouse and keyboard in a pinch, and don't have space or place to put the regular items, this is perfect.

This thing is tiny. It's pretty tough to do touch typing on it as the keys are very small and close together. But it's absolutely perfect for my needs I use it as a keyboard for a Linux server machine when I need to log in directly to the console instead of using ssh or a remote desktop. I don't need to do this often, so I didn't want to invest in a KVM switch to share with my main desktop machine, since KVM's are often temperamental. So, since my monitor has two video inputs, I can now just switch monitor inputs and bring out this little keyboard/touch pad combo that stays plugged into the Linux machine and fits easily on top of the case when not in use.

I could also see people using this as a portable keyboard for logging into servers, kiosks, HTPCs and other types of systems without real keyboards/mice. I haven't tried it with my PS3 yet but I'm sure it would work for that also.

Overall it's perfect for me, but if you have larger hands (or even normal-sized hands) I doubt you'll be pleased with the touch typing performance of this keyboard.

I use this keyboard on a lap desk while sitting in my easy chair. It is perfect for that purpose. Yes, it is small, but it works very well. It is a little smaller than the keyboard on my 10" netbook but it still works fine with my large hands. The touchpad is very useful and performs various touch commands flawlessly. The keyboard is very quiet, too. My only complaint is the mouse buttons and their placement and the buttons themselves. The buttons are crammed under the touchpad and they are easy to miss. They need direct, firm pressure to execute commands properly.

The keyboard's feet grip smooth surfaces very well. I can tilt my lap desk at a 45° angle and it won't slip off. The unit is very well made and has a solid feel. I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone seeking a small format and minimal footprint.
