Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received the device last week and on day one, I loved it.It exceeded my expectations.Typing on it was a little better than what I do on my Blackberry Storm and the scrolling (while not perfect) was quite good.The back light was a terrific addition as I bought this to use in my theater room where often it is difficult to see much (other than the screen) which is why the back light was great in lighting up the keys.
Right out of the box, I tried using it on my office computer - worked like a champ.When I got home, I tried using it on my laptop which was connected to my home theater projector - again, worked like a champ.Then came the problem... the next day the unit became completely unresponsive.I tried all the trouble shooting that I could think of and read on the manufacturer's website but nothing fixed the issue.I even tried using it in different locations on several different computers and still no fix.What I find odd is that the back light is no longer working either.I know it's not a battery issue as this has been charged fully twice in an effort to troubleshoot and fix the problem.I also tried changing the rf but again, that didn't help.
Something that I found disappointing was the lack of support.If you go to the manufacturer's web site, you will understand precisely what I mean.This is the first thing that I can think of that the support was so lousy - not even a phone number to call!
I am going to try using another - I asked for a replacement because when this unit was working, I loved it (I was even thinking about ordering another one for work/office use).I will report back later as to what I find with the second device.

Revision: July 30, 2010
I received the replacement and wanted to wait a week before posting a follow-up to my review.The replacement keyboard is working like a charm!It works just like it should.I have tried using it in many different settings and on several computers.No matter where it is used, it picks up the signal very quickly and does what it is advertised.For my use, this is a fantastic keyboard.I use it in my theater room where I don't want a cumbersome full sized keyboard.Instead, I just take this out of the coffee table drawer and use.
I am rating this keyboard 5 stars because it does everything that was advertised and better than I expected (i.e. typing is really good on such a small device).I don't believe I should give it less than 5 stars just because I received a defective unit as that can happen with any product.While the support of the company is still not the best, the place that I bought it from was excellent!They shipped me the replacement immediately and even refunded my return shipping costs.
