Unisen iPazzPort Voice Commander KP-810-18V 2.4Ghz Mini Wireless Keyboard/Touchpad/Learning IR Remo

Two things to note:

1) It does not have a Laser Pointer. There are some pictures presented as this model that look like it does, but the spot for the Laser pointer on the KP-810-18V that I received from Unisen USA, is used to connect the headset.

2) The mic in the head set seems useless.

The mic on the device works great with speech recognition software like search in Google Chrome and the speaker works great if you hold the device like a phone. The head phones on the headset work great. The keyboard and track pad work great as does the IR remote. This is a well made, well designed product and works great with my Mini Barebones Entertainment PC which has an IR receiver. I can turn on the PC, put it to sleep and wake it from sleep with the IR remote that comes on this device. More details about the PC are below.

I purchased a Jetway Mini-Top Barebones PC, Model# JBC700C9JG-H61-BW, Part# HBJC700C9JG-H61-BW, direct from Jetway as no one I could find sells this model. I will say it's an awesome little PC with MCE IR, a slim optical drive bay, an nVidia GT520M GPU with 1GB dedicated VRAM, an Intel chipset where you add a 2nd GEN Core i CPU (Sandy Bridge), support for 8GB RAM, an eSATA/eSATAp port and USB3as the more unusual features compared to other small PCs especially for the price. The only downside I see is the lack of USB ports. 2 USB2 on the back unless you count the USB in the eSATA port and 2 USB3 in the front. I added the USB2 hub below to add more USB ports and mounted it to the side of the PC with Scotch Reclosable Fasteners, see below. I'll let you look up more about this PC as it has nothing more to do with this review.

MiniPC:

I had high hopes for this device connnected to a dedicated Windows 7 Ultimate PC running Windows Media Center & XBMC for using to enjoy navigatting amongst the programs for media and occasional webpage viewing on my TV. MAJOR PROBLEM/DEVICE FLAW: The built in mousepad with the usual (push to click) functionality and unfortunately can't be disabled which I don't understand for the life of me since it also has two seperate buttons for left click/right click beneath it is WAY TOO SENSITIVE in making this not only a highly frustrating device to use but impossible for navigation as designed in my opinion. Maybe others have had better success with it if not reliant for whatever reason on being able to navigate ala mouse style and press to select isn't an issue but this totally ruins it for me. Otherwise this seems like a high tech end device and it's functionality I'm sure is second to non if it only worked right OR had an adjustment to either make the sensitivity less disturbing or disable the pad always wanting to press to click when you merely touch upon it to move the mouse on screen. Luckily the vendor has worked diligently with me and has given me a refund. I rate this product overall a D-

Everything works well with this. Distance from the laptop is decent and the function of the keys is great. Just be careful when you are charging the item. The port on this unit has a connection that is flimsy and only slightly glued in. So be careful when you connect your USB cable to it. Any sudden movement and snap it goes. Yes it did snap on me.

The only downfall this product has in my opinion is that the instructions are translated from japanese to english. As a result, the instructions aren't grammatically adjusted and a bit difficult to follow. Luckily there's a youtube video floating around to show you how to program the tv (or anything IR) remote.

The range is pretty decent. My livingroom and bedroom aren't the biggest in the world, so I stay within 15 feet of the receiver, and unless I'm moving around with the remote in my pocket, the signal for the audio doesn't cut out.

Here's one of the most awesome features:

You can use this as a phone.

How? If you have gmail, you should be able to call people right from your gmail chat window. Make sure your audio out (under control panel > audio > ) is selected for your iPazzPort, and voila: Call anyone in the US from your gmail page FOR FREE and hold the iPazzPort up to your face and you are now using a phone.

Also plugging in your headphones is awesome. Basically turns your headphones into a wireless headset; which is perfect for watching something on your HTPC late at night without worrying about the volume.

The trackpad works just fine. It could be slightly more precise but it's not worth complaining about.. definitely not a dealbreaker. The keyboard takes some getting used to because the trackpad to the right makes letters on that side of the keyboard a little hard to reach with your thumbs, but againnot a dealbreaker. It's perfect for HTPC owners. The backlight is perfectly clear. Everyone that enters your home and sees this item will be blown away. Definitely beats having a long distance wireless keyboard & mouse for an HTPC.

All in all, this item is a must-have for HTPC owners.

Want Unisen iPazzPort Voice Commander KP-810-18V 2.4Ghz Mini Wireless Keyboard/Touchpad/Learning IR Remo Discount?

I recently bought this Unisen iPazzPort KP-810-18VR Wireless mini keyboard. It works quite nicely as a wireless touchpad mouse and keyboard. Keyboard has reddish / orange color backlight, which is ideal for using in the dark while watch TV. The touchpad mouse has both left and right buttons and works well. Also you can reconfigure the direction of touchpad so that you can rotate the device to portrait orientation. The one I have also has learning IR remote and audio capability. The build quality is very nice as well.

However, I have a major issue with this thing waking up my HTPC every night. There is no "Power Management" setting in the device properties in Windows 7 for this device, so I can't uncheck the box "allow this to wake up PC". I also went through all the available BIOS setting, disabled all wakeup from USB activities. But this thing still wakes up my HTPC every night! E-mail and web request to the manufacture got no response, so this ends up a 3-star rating.
