This new and improved keyboard offers auto-shut off, a stand-by battery life of six months, a 30 foot range, and useful hotkeys. Despite its small size of only 13" it still manages to feel like a standard sized keyboard. Read on further to see what else this keyboard has to offer.

    Pros:
    decent range and battery life

    Cons:
    1. Pricey for what it is, if it worked good, than I guess it may be worth it
    2. If you type too fast, can easily cause double key inputs, have to type slow and careful. I am a medium speed typist, but that's already fast enough to cause an unacceptable amount of double key inputs, to the point where it is useless for work.
    3. Goes in to sleep mode in about 2-3 minutes(too quick), to wake it up, have to remember to hit a key once before typing away, very annoying. I always start typing, and the first letter never registers since it goes to sleep too soon.
    3. No visual (lights or on screen) indications of Cap Lock or Num Lock.

    Summary:
    STAY AWAY, there are better keyboards out there for the same or less price. I end up getting the BTC III keyboard, worked out great. This vidabox end up being used by my 2.5 yr old son.
