City of Industry, CA, September 14, 2006 --(
PR.com)-- There are many reasons to invest in a wireless keyboard. Some people like to place the keyboard out of sight when it's not in use. The same could be said for their mouse. For other folks, just having wires laying on their desktop looks too messy. Gamers on the other hand usually go for the wired devices unless wireless mice and keyboards are very responsive - any lag can spell death in a first person shooter game like Doom III. Can a wireless keyboard and trackball combo meet the needs of all these people? The answer is "Yes". This unit, Imperial 2.4G Wireless Keyboard, combines a solid-feeling keyboard with the functionality of a trackball mouse built right into it.
This X-Gene wireless keyboard is rather compact. It's not what call featherweight, but it's between 2 and 3 pounds in weight. Users could place it on your keyboard tray, on top of the desk, or even on a user's lap if the user is on the sofa. In fact, it fits very well on top of legs.
The keyboard has a built-in trackball that is of course a mouse. The left and right mouse buttons for this trackball are on the left side of the keyboard. This means people can use left and right hands to control the mouse actions necessary to navigate web pages and things of this nature. The scroll wheel is located on the left side.
Besides the standard QUERTY keyboard layout in this "made for IBM compatible computers with Windows 2000 or above", X-Gene wireless keyboard has some extra functionality/hot keys added above the standard function keys. These hot keys work with Windows operating systems, which are the "back", "forward", "IE", "e-mail", "My computer", "change tracks", "stop", "play/pause", "mute", and "volume down/up".
X-Gene wireless keyboard is an excellent keyboard. The wireless signal is strong, It will not interference with other devices. The keyboard action is smooth. The design is unique in terms of incorporating a built-in trackball mouse. It works well for all tasks. No drivers to install, no confusion in how to operate all the features.
