I decided to buy a Wii Keyboard to add another internet station in my home. We have a tendency to want to access the web at the same time here.

So I purchased the Powerboard. It's not what it's cracked up to be...

The number lock button has a nasty habit of turning itself on, even before you press any keys!

There is no "zoom in", "zoom out" or "OK" button, so one has to use the wiimote too often, which is a weak point of using the opera browser in the first place.

It takes longer to navigate on the opera browser than what you're used to with a PC. By the time you're able to find and click the next text using the wiimote, the Powerboard sometimes goes asleep or loses its connection within seconds if you scoot the Powerboard to the side when you're fumbling with the wiimote. When you do manage to reconnect, the number lock button immediately does it's little trick again.


In a perfect world, there would be a keyboard with a fingerpad mouse to use rather then the wiimote, even if only for the internet.

Oh...

Did I mention the number lock likes to turn on by itself? ;-)

Its perfect if you dont like things that work! Its a typical keyboard but when typing normally the fn key activates itself (out of no-where) and where you press the uiojklnm, keys you type numbers instead. Company shipped the item in time. Nothing against the company, the item just sucks

I ordered this to make using the internet through my wii easier. Turns out it's just as frustrating as entering the info from a wii remote. My biggest suggestion would be to add a tab and enter button so you don't have to go back and forth from the wii remote and the "keyboard". I'm sending it back today. A product that should have made the process simpler just made it more frustrating. Still lovin my wii though!!

Mine's stopped working only after a couple months of use. Even with new batteries, no luck. I see cheeper ones on amazon.com with higher reviews. Try one of those instead.

Makes using the internet much easier. Very easy to connect although the instructions sent are a little hard to understand.
