Summary: Fantastic, shame about the hot keys.
Review: Being a heavy user of the PC around 8 hours a day I needed something flexible and the KB99NT is a great all round keyboard, quiet, comfortable and portable. Great for when you need some space on the desktop or just want to sit back. Unfortunately I run Windows 98 and cannot get the shortcut/hot keys to work and would agree with the others about the mouse, it's quite awkward but I have my Logitech trackball working at the same time as the keyboard pointer so I have the pointer when i need to be away from the desk and the trackball when i am nearer. Very good choice, well recommended for all.

Summary: Effective Means Efficient
Review: I actually got this keyboard from a cousin of mine and at the first sight I must say I was pretty shocked. "Whoaaa..." I thought...."cordless!". "Looks like a James Bond's device".

And so it does. It's black, small and handy. You could easily carry it with your left hand and write wiht the right one. Could you? Well, not really. Not at first, that's for sure. The keys are allocated in a slightly different way than in a standard regular keyboard, so it's a bit tricky to write fast at the beginning. With practice, however, this gadget becomes the most comfortable keyboard you have ever used. And, by the way, the keys are almost noiseless and work very softly and smoothly.

Finally, the big feature - being cordless. I had pretty much fun wiht this one and I must admit it really works well. Except the small detail - the infrared sensor must face almost perfectly its other part, the one connected to the PC. So if you have a PC designed desks with a lowered keyboard shelf (which are extremely popular at work) it will be quite tricky for you to position them correctly.

And one more point in favour. If you run multimedia presentations at work (with Microsoft Powerpoint for example) it's the best device you can actually find. Your presentation will become a real showtime with this keyboard and a big projection screen, no need to say.

Review: I bought this key board at a Computer Show at first I didnt like the joy stick mouse connection. Now I cant live with out it having that feature on the key board makes it more mobile so I can sit any where in the room with out a desk or flat surface. I wish that more cordless key boards had mouse control on the key board.

Summary: Best periphial you can buy!!!
Review: I bought this keyboard about a year ago. It is WONDERFULL! I am no longer tied down to the computer. I can lean back in my chair and surf the web at my hearts content. The keyboard is extremely comfortable to use with good key action. The "Hotkeys" are a joy and make it easy to handle all of the commands from the keyboard. The only drawback is that the "mouse" is difficult to get used to. I highly recommend this to anyone who spends alot of time on the NET.

Summary: Pros and cons
Review: I bought this product because I wanted a cordless keyboard. This item is cute and small, built in mouse and number pad. The pros: Small, attractive, cordless, wonderful hot keys. Cons: The keyboard better be pointing towards the infrared box in close range (worse than a cheap remote!) the mouse takes time to get use too! (2 tiny buttons next to a micro joystick) The number pad is part of the key pad! (must press the FN key all the time)and worst of all the hot keys stopped working after 3 months! My friends at first say "WOW" when they first see it, but in minutes they start screaming "I hate your stupid keyboard!" "A" for effort, but "D" for performance!

Summary: An extreamly beautiful keyboard, But that infrared ?
Review: I found this to be a most beautiful keyboard But at this point it stops. A very quite keyboard to use and the styling and weight is extreamly well thought of.But that Infrared has got to go, And the mouse is borrowed from the laptops which in my case is undesirable. If you are doing a lot of networking you may want to leave your mouse on the desktop. If you are doing much typing like word processing & spreadsheet work you may need a box of batteries handy. I love it's looks and style but it could be upgraded in these areas.

Summary: Chad's Infrared Keyboard Review
Review: I just recieved this product today, and already I think it is the best computer add-on yet. The infrared feature is spectacular. I have not had any problems with it, and the installation is idiot-proof. Trust me. The key space is that of a laptop, but that is no worse; the built in mouse more than makes up for it. This is a must-have-even-if-I-have-to-earn-the-money.

Review: Pros I love the size (I have small hands) and it's easy to switch off the num lock. Infared is no problem.

Cons. Be careful! If you have only one serial port you may have to make compromises. My Palm uses it also.:(
You can't have a mouse AND use the pointing device. One or the other! ( I'm hooked on the scroll feature of my mouse) Good luck. Get this at a cheaper price or look at newer keyboards.
