Does this device actually enter keystrokes or just appear to do so on the monitor screen? It strikes me it could be dangerous if it really does it.

It enters keystrokes as you are typing. it doesn't automatically add stuff unless you are using the keyboard.

You're probably hitting the mouse pad accidentally. I did that at first. It took me a little time to adjust to the keyboard but don't have any problems now.

It acts like a Bluetooth keyboard and sends page up / page down keystrokes. You can try those keys on an actual Bluetooth keyboard, and if they work for your app, then this will work. Note you can't use this device along with either another Bluetooth keyboard or the onscreen keyboard.

I use it for Skype. It works fine for me. In particular, given that the keyboard is on a tray below my desktop, I have the confidence that my keystrokes cannot be observed should some nefarious software find its way onto my system. Your question appears to address a specific technical issue about which I possess no particular insight. I would suggest that you check the Creative website and/or contact the manufacturer directly if you require more information.

I was watching the Engadget Show yesterday and they mentioned this keyboard does not have a Right-Click button? Can anyone verify that? That would be a pretty big consideration for anyone purchasing this unit for their windows boxes.

On screen keyboard has nothing to do with this. I'm sure if you do not open it then it will not appear on the screen. By the on which device you are going to use.

I'm trying to make the same decision. Does anyone know? I am a fast typist, and I don't like what I hear about the wireless keyboard dropping strokes.

No, it has a button for the keyboard ,but nothing happens when you push it. Maybe if I knew more about computers I could adjust the monitor from the keyboard. There were no direction for using this function in the box.

It only works for a short time. Then, the keyboard develops a big lag time between the time you click the keys and the time it appears on the screen.

Paranoia or not, if security is a concern, use a wired setup. No wireless connection is 100% secure. I'm sure there's some esoteric weakness even in wired connections, but am not motivated enough to look for them. The probability of your keystrokes being sniffed on the 2.4gHz band is incredibly small, but non-zero. It's going to take a determined hacker to get them, and an even more determined one to make sense out of them. However, as I said, the probability of interception is not zero. Personally, I'd be more worried about social engineering than any technological attack in the first place, and any remote destination you are sending those keystrokes is far more likely to disclose your data to fictional or real enemies than the keystrokes themselves..

I was worried about that as well; but my experience is no it does not. The keys are so flat on the key board, I don't really even think they touch the screen when it's closed and if they do, it certainly isn't in a harmful way.Hope that helps!

the screen activates just getting close to it with hands. I always made a little pressure when touching the incons on the screen; I'm not sure if they work just touching w/o pressure. I check tomorrow and will let u know.

Yes - usually if you tap on something you normally enter text into the on screen keyboard will pop up by itself. It also has a button on the task at that will open the on screen keyboard as well.

Has anyone had problems with the keyboard "sticking" on the last letter you typed? (Like thisssssssss)? It also will not do an upper case I--this just started today. Am wondering if I need to return this.

I wasn't sure either. Just read others' comments. Opened the package and gave it a try. It works!There was a dialog that appeared saying that it was trying to detect the kind of keyboard. I was already using the device in Openoffice before I looked at the dialog. The device worked as the others said, so I simply closed the dialog.

good question..... I'm not sure I never used to keyboard mode feature before.

There is a very small amount of movement whenever you touch the keys. It is much more noticeable at first -- I thought I'd never get used to it -- but after a week or so I didn't notice it at all. If someone else uses my macbook they will often comment on it -- because they notice the difference in "touch". It's definitely worth getting used to, though -- a clean (and dry) keyboard is a happy keyboard!
