Small, light, full-function, full range wireless keyboard/touchpad
operating system:Windows 7ZDTV is a great wireless keyboard/touchpad for those who want to sit on the sofa controlling a computer. I have three TVs in my house, each hooked up to my main computer. I was looking for a wireless keyboard that I could use it to control my computer while sitting in front of any of them. This allows me to have one Blu-Ray drive in my computer, no need for extra DVD/Blu-Ray players, no need to worry about the different streaming "standards" popping up as extras on different set-top Blu-Ray players.
Pros:
+ Great range. As long as you place the USB receiver (about the size of a USB thumb drive) in a location not blocked by any metal
+ Great functionality, even WITHOUT Windows 7. I have this hooked up to a computer running Windows Vista x64 with no ZDTV drivers or software installed. It is picked up as a standard USB keyboard
+ Standard sized keys. Many wireless keyboards aimed at the HDTV/Computer market are "compact", trying to make the entire keyboard smaller but using keys that are a tad smaller than standard. The ZDTV keyboard uses full sized keys so touch typing does not suffer, and although it is a fairly thin keyboard with shallow keys, the depth of travel of the keys is very good
+ Large, deep touchpad. This is one of the larger touchpads I have used. Having a small touchpad with a netbook isn't too much of a hassle, but when setting a wireless keyboard on your lap, controlling a big screen TV with a fairly high resolution that is several feet away means that a larger touchpad allows you to have more stable control.
+ Multi-touch touchpad. The touchpad has a right and left button under it, but it also uses mutli-touch in an interesting manner. A single tap acts as a left-click (double-tap for double-click, double-tap and slide for dragging.) A two-finger tap acts as the middle mouse button. A three-finger tap acts as a right-click. A two-finger vertical movement will act as a scroll up/down.
+ Energy conscious. It runs off of four AAA batteries (I use rechargeables.) It automatically turns itself off after a few minutes of non-use.
Cons:
- No Caps/Scroll/Num Lock indicators. This is not a huge negative, but it can be an annoyance at times. I have a standard keyboard connected as well as the ZDTV wireless keyboard. Toggling Caps/Scroll/Num Lock with one will also do it to the other. My standard keyboard has a number pad, so I tend to leave Num-Lock on since I do a fair bit of work with spreadsheets. If I switch to the ZDTV keyboard and do not disable Num-Lock then suddenly U becomes 4, I becomes 5, O becomes 6, etc. This became quite annoying at first when I was trying to use it to put in a password and didn't realize what was going on.
Well, I guess only one con, so that should be "Con", not "Cons" ;-).
