5.0 out of 5 stars It's Great, June 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: RCA WKB10WB1 UltimateTV-WebTV Infrared Wireless Keyboard for the RCA DWD490RE (Electronics)

I have two different webtv plus receivers. The first purchased in 1999 and the second in 2001.This is the first keyboard that I have found that is compatible with both of my receivers. I especially like the three different colored keys, making it easier for me to avoid errors, especially when hurrying to finish an email.The keys do not become as uncooperative (sticky, just don't always print) as the key boards did that came with the two receivers I have. I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone seaching for a webtv plus keyboard.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Better Than I Thought, March 13, 2002

This review is from: RCA WKB10WB1 UltimateTV-WebTV Infrared Wireless Keyboard for the RCA DWD490RE (Electronics)

On an earlier review, I stated that you could not get PinP, (picture in picture), with this unit. It states in the manual that PinP is not provided, but you can get it. Press the CMD button and the W button together, for PinP. then press CMD and M together to change the position of the PinP. After realizing this, I'd have to say that I like this keyboard the best, of the different Webtv compatable keyboards. This is really comfortable, when you have to use the keyboard for long periods.

This review is from: RCA WKB10WB1 UltimateTV-WebTV Infrared Wireless Keyboard for the RCA DWD490RE (Electronics)

I needed a replacement keyboard for my webTV. I ordered this one because like it would be more comfortable to hold. It is not! It is big and bulky, and my hands actually get sore from it. While it works as it should. There are many buttons moved around and a lot missing all together. There are no "F" keys....instead there are a lot of keys on top that don't do anything for the web tv. Also, I don't know if this is just on the one I got or not, but the keys stick and will not type 2 letters or numbers that are the same in a row. The seller I got this from was great...fast shipping. But unless you are desperate for a replacement kb for your webtv....go with the regular one. Now I am going to order the regular one now and keep this one as a spare.
