First of all; ignore the complaints about the price, and how you can get a similar keyboard for $20. You can't.

This keyboard is a "normal" keyboard AND trackpoint mouse in one. It's the perfect size for the Q1, it's nice and thin and the keys are the right size for a decent amount of typing.

In addition to the normal keyboard layout, you also get shortcuts to some of the features of the Q1 and Q1 ultra like brightness and volume.

The trackpoint mouse is great and you have 2 mouse buttons under the spacebar.

It's almost a "must have" if you have a Q1 (ultra). It would have been perfect (5 stars) if it were wireless, it's just another way Samsung made their line of UMPC's more affordable.

I agree it's a little pricey for a keyboard, but it's worth it cuz it has the special function keys to match the Q1 Ultra. Like the battery and standby controls, sound and brightness controls, etc etc. And of course it's specially sized to fit in the Q1 Ultra carrying case. it's very thin, but sturdy. If you don't get the carrying case it comes with it's own very-well padded case.
It's a keeper.
Some online reviews have said it's too small to be useful but that's just not true at all. The overall width of the keys relative to a full-sized keyboard is really only about a half inch (from the A key to the semi-colon key). So slightly smaller but not enough to make your fingers be cramped at all and i have pretty fat fingers.
Oh and the best feature of all is the eraser-head mouse. !! To my taste, far superior to a touchpad. And of course it has the right and left mouse keys rights below the space bar.
Great piece, definitely worth it to go along with the Joyous Q1 Ultra.
btw it's not cordless. It does have a little usb cord.
The Q1 could run on a bluetooth keyboard if you wanted, i think.

This keyboard is the best accessory to the Samsung Q1 UMPC, together with the organizer. Together, they make the perfect mobile PC. The special function keys on this keyboard allows control of volume, brightness, display toggle. The size is perfect for touch typing.

I had previously bought a generic mini external USB keyboard for my SAMSUNG Q1 Ultra. It was a nightmare and about the same price as the Samsung keyboard. I finally broke down and sprung for this Samsung keyboard, and what a difference. Previously, I was constantly having to re-hit keys, and beleive me, I was pounding them. It made the typing experience very unpleasant. The feel on the Samsung keyboard is smooth, the touch is light and responsive, and the keys are large enough so miss-hits are infrequent. Fits well in the leather carrying case. Should have bought it at the beginning. You really can't go home (or any place else) with out it!

Right now im typing in this great keyboard. It functions perfectly with the Q1UP. The pouch is great if you want to take it while traveling. I did not expect much from this keyboard but I can say im impressed. While its a little pricey, it is very well built, the mouse is way much better than the one on the Q1 and the size is perfect.

Totally recommended.

The perfect keyboard for the Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC! It fits perfectly with the organizer that is made specifically for the Q1 Ultra UMPC!

Very happy with product....

Granted, this keyboard was manufactured with the Q1 in mind, but that doesn't justify the price. For $12 or $20, one can get a very portable USB keyboard that works equally well. This keyboard somewhat matches the dimensions of the Q1, so if that's important, buy it. But for much less, one can get a similarly sized USB keyboard from a different manufacturer.
