Installation, Testing and Comparison

Installation is very easy, pick what interface you might want to use, either USB or PS/2, plug it in and away you go. The USB Mini Multimedia keyboard will work with or without the software included, I guess the software is there for older operating systems…

Here’s a quick comparison shot of the USB Mini Multimedia Keyboard next to a standard keyboard to show you the size comparison.

I have to say that using the keyboard itself is no small task (pun intended), the keyboard is very hard to use actually, I found that the keys are extremely close together and I kept hitting them all the time and making tons of mistakes, but after about a week of using the keyboard I did get a little more used to it, but I can say that I would not want to use it full time at all. The keys are just way to close together to use for any extended period of time and actually found my hands cramping up from having them close together while using the keyboard for long periods.

This keyboard would be great for little jobs where only a small amount of typing is needed to be done, as for typing an essay or this review it isn’t quite going to work out for that. The keys are extremely tiny and entirely too close together to actually promote any typing speed. I found myself constantly correcting errors from hitting other keys.

The multitude of extra keys do come in very handy for all of the various functions that they do. Having the ability to control everything from there keyboard is very nice, it is just like having a full sized multimedia keyboard ready for you to get work done.
