Pros:
This product is amazing. I was looking for a multimedia keyboard to replace my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. This has everything that is needed in a multimedia keyboard. It is full size so you have the much needed number pad. And the media center shortcut buttons are well placed. It has great reception and I haven’t had any problems with it freezing up like I did with my Microsoft model. The track ball moves smoothly and it doesn’t take long to get used to. This thing is perfect for surfing the net from the couch or Lazy-Boy.
Cons:
The one con is that the learn button on the bottom of the keyboard sticks out enough that you can accidentally press it while using the keyboard. Then you have to go to the comp and reset it. I solved this problem by taking the keyboard apart and just cutting the button down with a pair of snips.

This product is my dream keyboard. The wireless system works perfectly, each time to power up your computer you just press the mouse button and the keyboard begins working instantly. The dedicated multimedia keys are very well distributed, the trackball is perfect and even more efficient than a mouse because you don’t need space to move it and the movements are really very precise, thats why the trackball is the preferred device for advanced cad and technical users.
The keyboard has worked perfectly, no problem with key assignment or typing speed. I really can recommend this product.

Excellent remote keyboard with trackball. I use it to play Windows Media Audio from my living room computer to watch on the 52″ LCD Hi-Definition television using various visualizations, including G-Force and White Cap. Great for parties! No need to get up to go to the keyboard to change songs. Can do it from across the room (after I set my martini down!). Trackball is great, and is quick to get accustomed to.

pros: nice low profile keys on keyboard, great trackball, nice location on left-right click, page scroll is great, multimedia keys are fine, nice range. nice look.
cons: reconnection button is almost the same place that I hold the keyboard, it’s very easy to hit that accidentally, reconnection sometimes took 2 seconds, sometimes 2 minutes.
it is not bluetooth so receiver should be visible to keyboard, but nice distance if the receiver is visible.
sometimes backspace doesn’t work, I have to push it twice, but while typing long emails I have almost no error.
I wish there was no numeric keypad, it is making it just bigger that’s all.
Overall it works and I am not going to replace it with a different model for now. maybe in future with smaller size and blueetooth, best thing on this keyboard is the trackball it works perfectly.

Pros:
1) Quite responsive.
2) Precision track ball.
Cons:
1) The keys are not as soft as a laptop keys. At times I have to press hard or at an angle
(e.g., interchange Left Hand < -> RH)
2) No indication of Caps or Num lock. So, kind of hard when entering passwords
Thoughts:
1) Keyboard layout is condensed, could have done away with number keypad.
2) Alternate mouse buttons near the track ball. So, can manage it with single hand.
