Microsoft N9Z-00006 All-in-One Media Keyboard with Integrated Track Pad - Monotone

I have s raspberry pi 2 in the front room and wanted a full size wireless keyboard and mouse to take advantage of the numerous systems available.On reading the reviews online the Microsoft All-In-One Media Keyboard seemed to be the one to go for. The included trackpad made perfect sense as did the long battery life.My only concerns with this keyboard and track pad combination was whether it would work with the Raspberry PI or indeed with my PC.On receiving the parcel from Amazon I installed the supplied batteries and tried it out on my desktop PC. The included USB dongle is nice and small and has a decent range. I was able to enter the PC BIOS, which i wasn't sure would work but it did and was able to make some test adjustments and on the dual boot screen was able to select Windows 10. I have a dual boot Hackintosh machine and wanted to see how well it would work in Windows 10 first.The keyboard was immediately recognized by Windows 10 and all the shortcut keys worked as expected. On trying it in MacOs it worked just as well. Really pleased with it and made having a PC in the front room a very tempting idea, however the Raspberry PI is a lot more discreet and does everything I need, mainly running KODI.On trying it on the Raspberry PI 2 the small dongle fits perfectly in any of the 4 USB slots without compromising the others, handy as I like to use a WIFI dongle in one and a USB hard drive in the other.Raspbian recognized the keyboard straight away without need for any drivers and KODI works perfectly.This keyboard is perfect if you need an all in one setup for the front room or a study, the keys are very responsive and the track pad is nice a precise and makes using either my Hackintosh or Raspberry Pi 2 a pleasure. No more cords and unnecessary clutter.

Great keyboard, super responsive in windows 10, some wireless keyboards can feel sluggish when used, like there is a delay between your actions on the keyboard/trackpad and the response on the computer screen, but not here! Feels like using a wired device.Trackpad is super responsive and can handle very small positional adjustments without issue.Device is advertised as 'multi-touch' though, which I thought meant more than two finger input. The device only seems to support two finger input on Windows 10 though... which is disappointing, there are 3 finger gestures I would like to be able to use but can't seem to get working.The keyboard keys feel very small though (I may just have fat fingers) but it's not something I would prefer to type on regularly all day, but it may just take some getting used to... the key presses are quite spongy but super quiet, don't expect mechanical keyboard levels of tactile clicky feedback!Make use of the power switch on the side! I never noticed it at first as its not very obvious and the battery drained quickly when I accidently left it with something pressing down on a key. Otherwise seems to have decent battery life, I bought rechargeable batteries to use with it so this isn't an issue.Overall great little wireless media keyboard with good responsive trackpad and soft tactile keys, just wish the keys were a little bigger.

I decided to go with Microsoft hopeful of its native integration with Windows and I think I made a right decision. The keyboard re/connects really well and trust me it's an issue with my Chinese wireless mouse. The keyboard is lightweight, buttons are too damped compared to what you have on your laptop and the touch pad is a far cry from Microsoft Precision touch pad you'd get on your Lenovo BUT none of that matters when you can leave your laptop by the TV and jump on the sofa with this great keypad with an integrated mouse pad! Everything works well, it's as well made as it should be for the price.If you wand a keyboard and touch pad comparable to what you have on your laptop - spend more money but for an occasional user this is a perfect solution!

5 months on -Great keyboard. I chose this over another popular all-in-one keyboard due to the spill protection and the media keys. I have probably used this every other day and at about a 2.5 meter distance with no issues at all. The battery is great (even when I haven't turned it off after use), and the quality of the keyboard is very sturdy.As the keys are surrounded by plastic (thus creating the protection for spills), it does feel quite a bit different than a standard keyboard. It feels more of a bubble wrap type clicking feeling, but that could purely be subjective.All in all, a wonderful keyboard and great addition for use in the office, living room or bedroom.

How could I live without this product!As I connect my 45" TV screen to my PC tower, I needed a wireless keyboard so that I could sit back at a distance while I surf the web etc...This is my second keyboard I've had, a cup of water fell on the first one!The keyboard itself feels solid and is great to type on. I'm typing on it right now!The track-pad is responsive and pinch to zoom works well and is very convenient.Another convenient feature are the volume buttons on the side.It even survived getting partially submerged in a tub of water! Oh yeah, the range is pretty good as well.A GREAT BUY!If this review was in any way helpful, I would truly appreciate a vote:)

The keyboard itself is very good, decent build quality, nice feeling keys and good battery life. Unfortunately the touchpad/trackpad isn’t good at all. It’s really unresponsive, sometimes needing multiple swipes to register.But the main problem for me with the touchpad is you can’t use it while pressing a key on the keyboard. Pressing the mouse buttons is fine but pressing a keyboard key stops the touchpad completely.I bought this for my sons pc to play games but it’s unusable. For example in Minecraft he couldn’t walk and turn just one or the other.The keyboard is now plugged in to our TV so I don’t have to use the TV remote arrows to “type” words.So as a keyboard it’s good. As a keyboard and touchpad it’s OK…. Ish
