I'm a Sys Admin.  I have XP w/more than the minimum requirements.  My PC boots in < 45 seconds.  It's clean.  I tried EVERYTHING I could per Mavis Beacon's KB / Support site.  THEY HAVE NO SOFTWARE SUPPORT to even write to, let along call!!!  Per their support site, I tried various run-as modes (as Admin) on my PC; I tried various Compatibility Modes; I even DISABLED everything (except AV software) at start-up via 'MSConfig' utility, where the product installed but I kept getting an error w/either Data1.cab file or video.  I searched for just 'data1' and 'data1.cab' errors and found nothing.  Again, my PC is new (not X64.)  The pkg says the software is for XP too.  I'm never buying software from any company that doesn't have, at least, email support.  Their position on customer support is rediculuous!  Wanna see what I mean - Call 1-800-395-0277, then Press 2, and just listen how many times they tell you to use their website for support.  Then, you're told to 'have a great day' and they disconnect you.  Oh, yea, and try to write to them.  Pathetic!!!

I used this to connect an old Lexmark M13 "clicky keyboard" with Trackpoint II to a modern laptop. Worked great! Nostalgic typing, who knew that was a thing?

***UPDATE***  No longer the best.  Was the best though.

This is the best typing program you could ask for.  It lets you choose your lesson and you're able to go anywhere in the program whenever you want.  This is good for reviewing parts that you're not ready to go past yet.  Everything is set up how it should be, i've been learning very quick from this program.  It's literally 10 times better than mavis beacon which is a piece of krap.  Mavis beacon makes you start from the beginning, and will not let you go back or review lessons, also the design and format are very poor, the word for it is "garbagey".  All other programs I've tried have come way short of this one too.

Both my co-worker and I purchased this keyboard as we disliked the new Dell keyboards. Anyway, setup was perfect and everything was great until I started typing full speed. The keyboard lags when you are typing beyond 100wpm. When Mavis Beacon rates you at 160wpm, lag from keypress to displaying text on the screen is a huge problem. Either way, the feeling of the keyboard is A+ and it is of very sturdy design. I would recommend it to anyone under 100wpm typing speed.

The mouse is a little small for my hands but it didn't have any lag and worked perfectly. Both I and my co-worker got rid of our keyboards within a week of purchasing them continuing our search for that one perfect keyboard.

I was hopeful about this, but it does not really work for me. I'm a touch typist who types quite fast. Typing on an ipad has always been a problem because it is both sensitive and certain keys [like return and semi-colon] are not in the normal place. I still have to look down in order to make certain I'm typing the correct letters. My first attempt was a disaster. There are actual bluetooth keyboards that work and I've returned to mine.

Created a BASIC-based Arduino  and created a SAY command. I, then, just type SAY "I am special" and it says whatever I have it say.

I can turn it off, pick all the different speech voices with VOICE 1, etc.

I turn the board on with SOUNDON and off with SOUNDOFF

Works incredibly well. Love it.

The software upgrade for El Capitan is hit and miss. I set my functions but it should take a few seconds to change through the cordless communication system, but it never does. You must set it, then restart your computer. The next morning the mouse info screen says its at your setting all good, but the settings aren't active, so you restart and then they are active again.

Nice portable on the go wireless keyboard. I use it when accessing server when visiting remote sites. It works great with my Raspberry Pi :)

This is a review of the Zoweetek wireless (non Bluetooth!) keyboard.

The keyboard arrived nicely packaged in a box that contained the keyboard and a simple but clearly written instruction manual. This keyboard is very much in the mould of an Apple aluminium wireless keyboard, with a very similar size, layout and key feel, albeit in black. One very useful addition is the touchpad on the right, with full multitouch support according to the manual (see photo for supported gestures). It has blue LED indicators in the top right to indicate that the transmitter is working, Caps Lock is engaged and when the battery is low. The battery compartment has a slot to store the receiver.

Setup is straightforward. Insert a pair of AAA batteries (not supplied), insert the provided wireless receiver into a USB port on your computer/TV/etc and turn the keyboard on. Note - this is not a Bluetooth keyboard so you'll need to use the receiver for it to work.

I've been using it with my MacBook Pro and it's worked very well, with no compatibility problems. The keys themselves have a good feel, although due to it's size this is a membrane keyboard. Not all of the media keys work on a Mac, nor did I expect them to, so I can't complain about that.

The touchpad has a plastic feel, so you may be disappointed if you're use to using, say, an aluminium one, but it works surprisingly well. All of the advertised gestures work fine although I've found the scrolling speed to be quite slow and, because it appears as a mouse rather than a touchpad to the operating system, it's not possible to adjust that. Complaining about something as minor as that seems slightly nfair, but it's worth mentioning.

As this is advertised as being for smart TVs, set-top boxes, etc I've also used it with my Samsung smart TV. Again, no compatibility problems and the touchpad worked perfectly.

Rather usefully, it has both a power switch on the bag and an auto power-off function to save battery life. If it's powered off automatically hitting a key will wake the keyboard up.

Pros:
+ Stylish looking
+ Easy setup - should work with anything that supports USB keyboards/mice
+ Good feel to the keys
+ Nicely working multitouch, even on a Mac
+ Auto power-off

Cons:
- Not Bluetooth
- Touchpad scrolling sensitivity not adjustable

This is a good wireless keyboard. It works very well, with a good feel to the keys, and the multi-touch touchpad works exactly as described. Recommended.

Having this keyboard for the Toshiba Thrive transforms the experience of typing.  I use both this and the onscreen keyboard, depending upon my needs at the time, but when you are doing a great deal of typing, this is the way to go.

I am not sure what kind of problem the earlier reviewer was having getting the BT to pair. It took me less time to pair the devices than it took me to peel the protective plastic cellophane off the front of the keyboard. (In case you need a more detailed description of the cellophane experience, I grabbed the plastic tab and pulled.  'Nuff said.)  It was quick and painless.

The keyboard is NOT full sized (nor does the manufacturer make such a claim), but it is worth mentioning.

I strongly recommend this keyboard for Thrive owners, and will also mention that I have successfully paired and used this keyboard with my iPhone 4S. It's a versatile little bugger.  ;-)

I'm reviewing the Nixeus Moda Pro full sized keyboard with soft click brown switches (MK-104BN16) which I use with a Mac Mini.

There is a little quirk you may encounter with this keyboard, and it may puzzle you if you are using a Mac. I installed the alternate Mac keycaps. Then I followed the manual's instructions on changing to the Mac keyboard layout, and the instructions didn't work. The Apple Command key worked but the Option key did not. When I stood up to check the cables on the back of my computer, I noticed a light glowing on the Nixeus keyboard. There are four LEDs on the keyboard's upper right, and the one labeled "Win Lk" was glowing green. WinLock? What does that mean? It meant my keyboard shipped with Windows Lock on, and I needed to toggle Windows Lock off. According to the manual, "To disable Windows Key, hold down Fn Key + F8."  What Nixeus calls "Fn Key" is the Option key on a Mac keyboard and the Windows key on a Windows keyboard. Once you toggle Windows Lock off, the manual's instructions on changing to the Mac keyboard layout will work.

This is a heavy, sturdy looking, mostly metal, full sized keyboard. A 6 foot USB cable is hard-wired into the back side of the keyboard and I don't like that. But it's a sturdy braided cable with a sturdy PVC bushing where it joins the keyboard. I would prefer USB ports on the right, left and back, but to my knowledge no one builds keyboards like that nowadays.  In use, the Nixeus Moda Pro feels and sounds very much like the Extended Keyboard II which Apple sold from October 1990 to March 1994.

I learned to type on Royal and Underwood mechanical typewriters in the early 1960s, and I have typed for a living as a correspondence clerk and a journalist. I switched from typewriters to primitive computers in 1984, after working with an obsolete Vydec word processing system the year before. The best keyboards I have used were the IBM Selectric typewriter and the old IBM PC keyboard (the one with F keys in two columns on the left). Next best were the keyboard built into the Atari 800 computer and Apple's original Extended Keyboard (M0015, sold 19871990). Next best was Apple's Extended Keyboard II (M3501).

So Nixeus Moda Pro is not the best keyboard I have used, but it's a good typing keyboard  good enough for typing a book manuscript or a dissertation. That is good enough for most of us, and it is worth the modest price.

I have to say, the keyboard is nice looking.  I had to search the site to find the information I needed, because
the "instruction manual" that came with the keyboard is useless!

To save others time, I have provided the link to the Belkin Support site so that YOU won't have to go through the frustration of finding the REAL instructions!

Seems okay so far but the right shift key is brutal (and might be a killer).  It's the size of regular key instead of wide (like the left shift key).  So far it requires a very intentional press, otherwise I hit the 'up arrow' key and type on the wrong line.  Not sure it this going to work for "real" typing.
