New: Cideko Air Keyboard - Great for HTPC's ? (1 Viewer)

[Hillbillie]

@ Hillbillie and/or Kesar:

Nice to see some people on the forum already use this device. I'm still interested in buying one myself, but can either one of you answer my initial question:

About the mouse functionality, does it only work okay if the device is held in a horizontal orientation, or also if you have the keyboard tilted towards you?

Ok I tested it out just now. No matter what angle you have it at, it takes about 10 degrees to go from top of screen to bottom and about 15 to go from left to right of screen.

I tried holding the remote flat, and then vertical and then a few different angles. All about the same.

It works pretty good.

Its not as good as a regular mouse on the desk, but very good otherwise.

Thank you for answering! I wanted to be sure it is usable while lying down on the couch

I decided to go with Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard.
It's half of the price, even smaller and quite the same functionality. If any one is interested in my impressions please pm me. I need a few days for testing.
