   If you want a cheap small media keyboard then go for it. If you want the trackball to replace a mouse then forget it. The trackball jumps erratically and you end up having to shake the unit to try and sort it out! It will drive you nuts after a very short while. The trackball buttons are pretty poor as well. Mines going back….

   The keyboard works fine. Has good range. However, the tracker ball seems to be defective. Looking at other reviews where some people say it works fine and others have issues makes me think there may be quality control issues! Is it worth the risk. My view probably not!

   Good points

   - Wireless range

   - Looks good

   - Easy to get set up

   - Action buttons (eg volume control) are well layed out and convenient.

   Bad points

   - It is a bit thick and bulges at the back

   Really bad points

   - The tracker ball is useless. Really, really useless. I have used tracker balls since the 80s and I am unimpressed!

   Overall.

   Not worth it. If you are going for a product with a built in trackerball. Choose something else!

   This is a cheap wireless keyboard with multimedia keys etc. pluged in worked straight away. Roller ball part needs to be a little more responsive. but fantastic product and supplier was very prompt

   Despite the bad reviews for this and many other trackball/keyboard combinations I decided to buy this one. The keys are very nice to use and upon plugging the dongle in for the first time it was ready to go. Mouse sensitivity needed to be turned up a notch separately from my Logitech laser mouse. I agree that the trackball may be a bit off at times but if you master a technique, I use my thumb with smooth motions, it’s actually quite useable. There are a massive array of media keys to use, even a handy TV guide and information. Excellent keyboard for the cash and even came with Duracell batteries! I’m using the keyboard right now from my bed with Amazon on my TV, again, well worth it.

   I bought this just for occasional use from my bed, through vista onto a TV and its perfect… had it 3 months and the batterys have lasted. not missed a beat since ive had it.

   install was very easy. bit of a pain that because of the layout between the roller ball and click buttons you have to use two hands, but it becomes very intuitive and is alot less cluttered than a seperate keyboard and mouse

   would recommend to anyone
