Advantages: Rechargable batteries and charger, cool design Disadvantages: some keys are a liitle small and close together
The geniuskeyboard and mouse are great if you require something a little smaller then normal, they are both compact and the fact that the mouse is optical is also an added bonus. The battery life is probably better then most wireless products I have tried and the fact that the receiver also charges a spare set of batteries which are included is also very good.
The keyboard is very light, slim and feels like it has been well built with very little rattle in the keys, the keys themselves do seem a little squashed in though, but this has been done to make the unit smaller, the home, end etc keys are a little tricky to use and there seems to be an issue if you want to highlight lots of data using them as they are brought into use with the shift key anyway. The cursor keys have been crammed in under the enter key which has also been ...
Advantages: Wireless, Relativly cheap, Durable, Initially get rechargeable batteries Disadvantages: Need to eventually buy new batteries, Problems with low power.
I have owned this keyboard and mouse for a few years now and although I have thought about it I have never seen the need to replace it.
The keyboard has smooth corners giving it a nice soft feel compared to standard square edge keyboards. It contains many useful hot keys across the top that control various programs such as a play, stop, previous and next buttons useful for Windows Media Player. It also has system volume control buttons to increase or decrease the master volume of your PC. Lesser used but still highly useful buttons include a quick launch to internet explorer and outlook express. It has a wrist rest that folds neatly under the keyboard, clicking into place when not required.
The mouse is smaller than average and well shaped so it fits well into the palm of your hand. It has a scroll wheel, which i find ...
Advantages: Fast, good value, lightweight, large storage capacity, robust and convenient. Disadvantages: Not as slimline as other models
The integral 4GB memory stick provides a fast and reliable way of transferring and storing data. It is ideal for transferring large files such as software, media and music between computers.
The design is robust so can withstand being dropped and also very lightweight and small so it is ideal for attaching to a keyring or similar.
You simply plug the device into an available usb port on your computer which will detect it automatically. There is no requirements to upload any software in order to use this item.
"Integral" are one of the few manufacturers who offer a large amount of storage (up to 8GB) at a very reasonable price and I cannot see any disadvantage in their items other than it is maybe not as slimline as other similar items.
Overall a very good buy. ...
