    a quick update. tried it with my thumbs (like a controller) and its a mixed bag. Using it like this or with thumbs both have advantages and disadvantages, and, I'm not going to beat around the bush, my thumbs are just a little too fat 😂

      +RmRoyalflush I'd seriously rather game using an IBM/Lenovo trackpoint then a touch pad. the only thing I find touch pads good for are is basic browsing when I forget to throw my mouse in my backpack for my Thinkpad, or I need to pinch zoom in/out on something.

    • @CommodoreFan64
      @CommodoreFan64 7 лет назад

      yeah that's the best way to use one of these, I had one that was slightly bigger with a backlit keyboard for back when I used my Wii as a quick web browser back in 08/09ish, and later on work presentations as they have a build in laser pointer he forget to point out, along with the fact the arrow keys work as a scroll wheel, gaming however is not one of it's strong points for sure.

    I bought one of these for my sister for Xmas. It's perfect for her needs, as she uses her computer for Netflix before bed. Being able to control the computer from across the room is exactly what you would want this for, so it's ideal for HTPCs.

    This is cool. I use an app called Remote Mouse to control my computer with my phone when I have it connected to the screen. It has the same exact functionality of this little keyboard. You can use your screen as a trackpad, tap the screen to click, use your phone keyboard to type etc. Except it works over wifi instead of Bluetooth.

    • @jakegarrett8109
      @jakegarrett8109 7 лет назад +1

      Have you actually used a mechanical keyboard, or are you going by marketing? I have never seen a keyboard that felt like a mech unless it was a mech. Its not like a mechanical is necessary, but its so different, that it makes a regular office keyboard feel so bad, you just want to type on those by smashing your face into the keyboard each time instead of using your fingers.
      Before I got a mech, I was perfectly fine with a basic office keyboard, but now they all feel like trash... The only non-mech keyboards I like are my old HP PS2 keyboard (built like a tank, weighs over 4 pounds, you can stop a murderer with an axe with it, its that sturdy) and my M$ curved wireless keyboard (because its curved and has macro keys).

  • @SianaGearz
    @SianaGearz 7 лет назад

    Bluetooth versions are available, but usually these are not Bluetooth, they use nRF24. It's technically vaguely similar to Bluetooth, but much cheaper and not compatible. The primary use for these was intended to be home theatre PC for very occasional typing, so they vaguely have the size and shape of a remote control, a bit too thick to be a tablet companion, besides having keys of quality that wouldn't be acceptable, and a bit too long to accompany a phone.

  • @Pilotgeek
    @Pilotgeek 7 лет назад

    I have one similar, but with a layout more like a game controller. While great for navigation on a htpc, they are trash for gaming. I always love seeing videos like this, because its the stupid kind of stuff I've ether tried or wanted to try, and no other tech page bothers giving things like this a go.

  • @JoloNavarro

  • @ControlAllDa1337
    @ControlAllDa1337 7 лет назад

    I had one of these a few years ago for a htpc build. It was usable but there's a noticeable input lag and the worst thing was if the battery wasn't fully charged then the trackpad had a tendency to cause the mouse pointer to erratically jump all over the place. If you're not prepared to use a kb + mouse ten pay the extra and get a Logitech k400+ or the Microsoft equivalent. You won't regret it.

  • @Ruftinator

    One tip, when you use a touchpad and want to scroll. Put two fingers on the touchpad and simply swipe up or down, up makes the page go down and down makes the page go up

  • @DonnyStanley
    @DonnyStanley 7 лет назад

    This is meant primarily for HTPC use for browsing from the couch. Try holding it in your hands rather than on a surface and press the keys with your thumbs. there's not enough key spacing for traditional 10-finger typing styles.

    I use this for the downstairs tv so I can control my pc which is upstairs, it's meant for a quick way to open up a game which I then use my 360 controller for. It's nice and handy for what I want it to do!

  • @JaseWolf
    @JaseWolf 7 лет назад

    I have one like that but then it's a tiny bit different design and it also has left and right shoulder buttons like a gamepad which is really cool instead of being cramped around the touchpad. Use it as a secondary pc keyboard for things that sharemouse refuses to do with some things like hotkeys set in certain apps lol.

  • @codenamegamma
    @codenamegamma 7 лет назад

    it's not Bluetooth, its 2.4ghz. I've had one for a few years now, it's nice when i HAVE to use a keyboard and mouse, so if I need to do something on a raspberry pi, or plug it into whatever and type something in, or deal with an issue. for kodi or a media center, it still makes a nice remote. if you use two thumbs you could probably do emulation like Super Mario Bros. or Sonic on the Genesis.

  • @RamjetX
    @RamjetX 7 лет назад

    I have this velco attached to my Sim Racing Rig. It's very convenient in VR when you can't see or reach for a keyboard or mouse from a driving position.
    Performance is.... 'good enough'... but far easier than overreaching and falling out of my rig... which ... sadly.. did happen. Okay look, in my defense, I was also drinking and sim driving. But 3 beers is optimum for lap times... It's good for like, 0.3s per lap? but 4 beers add 0.2s per lap. It's a careful balance of blood alcohol level. I digress a little...
    ... fun keyboard, but finicky touchpad.

    Hello!
    Could you do a video about how much power one could squeeze out of a gt210? It is the worst video card on the market brand new and I wonder if it could be something more with a bit of overclocking. I know that it isn't quite worth it in situations where one could upgrade, but if you've got a low profile case or a weak PSU or your integrated GPU decided to derp out you could be stuck with it.
    Love the videos and keep up the great work!

    I prefer the Rii 8+, backlighting on the buttons and more ergonomic, plus its about the smallest I would go with a keyboard for comfortable use. They are usually the same price as those mini keyboards as well. I wouldnt touch the ones with the flat circular pads at the top though as the 2 of them I have tired have been finicky at best as they were prone to major input lag.

  • @CheekyChan
    @CheekyChan 7 лет назад

    It's (unofficially) an HTPC remote. That's what it's designed for, that and presentations so it's not surprising that it sucks for gaming.
    Edit: They make fullsize keyboards with all the same features that might be much more comfortable.

      @zixzen1 7 лет назад +1

      the i5 2400 is a good cpu, i have it. but heavy cpu games like gta IV and open world games struggle on it, probably because of its slower clock speed and lower c/t count, plus it runs fairly hot. mine on a stock cooler idles 40c and gets too around 60-65c under load. Plus streaming on it at all even low endgames it struggles(of course its not made for it). Shadows on just about any newer game need to be on medium.
