Very Cool, Very Satisfied!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2014

Bought this because it was simply one if the coolest things I had ever seen. It's blue tooth enabled so you can use it to text or write lengthy emails on your phone. It does work for your computer while connected via the included USB cable. I will say that it turns heads like no other when other people see it. The one time I brought it to work, I had quite a few people come up to me and ask what I was doing! The only reason why I gave this 4 stars is because the typing is pretty sensitive (even on the lowest sensitivity) and there definitely is a learning curve to using it. It takes practice. I would highly reccomend using this device in conjunction with SwiftKey from the Google play store. Its correction capabilities makes it possible for me to type as fast as I would on a normal keyboard with it.

To thoes reviewers complaining that the input is laggy, it is laggy UNTIL you update the firmware of the device at CTXtechnologies.Com. After the update, they keyboard becomes incredibly responsive and it even offers additional power saving options!

Awesome Product!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2013

I am a perpetual iPhone typer. I take my iPhone everywhere with me - texting, writing back to emails, surfing the web. But I get thumb cramps trying to type on the tiny keyboard. So when I saw this product, I was so excited to try it out. Amazing so far! The module is much smaller than I envisioned, and stuck it easily in my purse with me. Went to lunch today at a cafe and was able to write back to so many emails. Keyboard is almost exactly like a full sized keyboard, so I didn't have to get used to different keystrokes or typing. I was afriad it might be akward typing on a table and might have to pound harder, but it was pretty sensitive to touch and is just like having a laptop keyboard front of me, without the bulky size. I had a few people at the cafe come up to me and ask me what I was doing. I let them try it out, too and everyone was really impressed. I've only had this for a few days, but it's been great. The only thing I would mention is the space bar is slightly a lighter color than the rest of the keyboard, but it might have been the angle I was at. Did not hinder typing at all. Really excited to recommend to all my friends. GREAT product!

Great portable keyboard

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

This product was very easy to use and setup. The device has great key accuracy. Most of the time this device works as advertised. There are a couple of issues however. As stated by other reviews, you do need a flat surface. Also, the laser should have been brighter. At the brightest setting, some surface colors and bright lighting makes it hard to see or read the keyboard. I had only one problem connecting the device via Bluetooth to a Dell Ultrabook. The laptop kept asking for a code from the device, which there is no code and I couldn't find anything in the instructions or the web to solve this issue.

I like this device over using a touchscreen keyboard. For me, this device is more accurate than a touchscreen on a smartphone or a tablet.

Nice

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

The keyboard is nice. It definitely works.
The drawbacks are (a) you need to develop a kind dancing finger typing approach, which is not a big deal, and (b) the focal length, i.e., the distance needed for the device itself and for the projected image is not adjustable (I was told on the telephone by customer service that it was), so I am not sure it will fit on an airplane tray table. I have yet to test that. If it does, the tablet to which it is connected will nevertheless have to be elsewhere, like on the adjoining seat's table. (I may try putting some Velcro onto the back of my tablet so I can try sticking it to the back of the facing seat.)

Really Cool!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

It was shipped very quickly, it's small and easy to set up and use-just open your Bluetooth settings and pair it up. Easy!! Only problem I have with it is the technology is a little wonky. When you go to put your fingers on the keyboard it starts typing whatever your hand scans over. I think I just have to get used to it. But that's the only reason there aren't 5 stars. It's not quite as easy to use as I thought. But it's really fun to have, I carry it with me everywhere and people flip out when they see it! I love new/unique technology so it's worth the money.

cool gadget, works well, needs some patience

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

I actually got this as a present yet tried it out at home to make sure it worked (and just because I was so excited about it). It was much smaller than I expected which I liked. The red keyboard is clearly visible on a black and wooden surface which I tried it on. On certain surfaces you might need to adjust the brightness which is super easy and absolutely no problem. It connected to my iPhone instantly with no problem. Typing works well but needs some patience, you can not write on it as fast as with a regular keyboard since the technology is relatively new. However, the gadget fulfills its purpose to aid typing on small devices or tablets-you can even play typing games on there!
All in all, it is super fun and works well! I also love that you can attach it to your key chain and carry it around without losing it where ever you go.

Very cool, works well

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my son, who is a gadget freak, after he saw someone using one at an airport. How cool! Next thing you know, I'm on Amazon buying it...

This does have a very high cool factor, and it works well, though not flawlessly. It occasionally will get out of calibration, which will result in the wrong key being pressed. It also works better on some surfaces than others. However, it's very convenient, and I give it 4 stars. I would buy it again.

Shipped Fast - Great Service

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

I NEVER USED THE PRODUCT. Bought it as a gift for a "Yankee Swap", ended up winning it back, decided I wanted the money instead of the item, and easily returned it at my local Brookstone (because Amazon does not accept returns of certain items deemed "hazardous."

Brookstone was incredibly helpful, taking the product back and shipping it for me (free of charge). Amazon posted my refund on my credit card within 2 weeks.

My 4 stars are for Amazon and Brookstone. Only reason they don't get 5 is because I have no idea how well the product works.
