1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,680
this is a product I'm actually quite excited to have a look at this is the

2
00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:10,559
vision Tech candy board it's a wireless Mini keyboard with a built-in touchpad

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,360
so one of the things that they're saying is so cool about this is that the fact

4
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:19,119
that is the fact that the touchpad is capable of being used in both a

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,320
horizontal or a vertical position and also that the quality of the touchpad is

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:27,320
right up there with the ones that you'd find on a laptop versus some of the

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,320
other kind of uh lame touchpad integrated keyboard units that uh just

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,680
use really low quality touchpad like it's basically as if it's not even

9
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:38,840
really meant to be used it has a built-in laser pointer so I guess you

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,399
could use it for pointing at stuff it has a USB connector with no drivers

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:47,399
needed and it has a little compartment to store the USB dongle there's a USB

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:54,680
input for charging the unit and it works with Windows PS3 Xbox 360 Mac and Linux

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,480
so basically everything you could want I

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,039
lost my unboxing knife when I accidentally tried to take my keychain

15
00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:08,240
onto the plane with me when I went to Markham and not really thinking about it

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,439
before uh taking my keys I left my knife

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:15,360
on the keys and obviously that got confiscated by airport security um

18
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:20,560
funnily enough not until the return ride so the Vancouver airport did not find

19
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:25,280
the knife whereas the Toronto Airport did so that's the candy board it is Tiny

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,759
like I have small hands and already it's like you can see it's like a palm palm

21
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,960
sized keyboard okay let's just have a look look at what accessories are

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,280
included if any and then we'll move on from there so we have a USB cable uh for

23
00:01:35,399 --> 00:01:42,960
charging the device then we have the users manual

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:47,920
turn off this device in the hospital attention to do not operate this device

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,439
while driving okay that's good these are good safety precautions they're giving

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,600
us here all right well here's a little uh map of the keyboard let's go ahead

27
00:01:53,479 --> 00:02:00,240
and take it out so it's got the little laser caution on it it's because it does

28
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:04,719
have an included laser pointer so so that's the first thing I want to try

29
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,160
let's flip the switch to on and then try

30
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:11,239
the laser pointer ha it has a laser pointer cool okay so you can oh here

31
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:14,560
here here's an idea what's

32
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:25,360
that they love chasing the laser pointer that's rocket here's

33
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,640
Rumble okay anyway I digress the candy

34
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,920
board then so here's the touchpad the touchpad is big enough to be comfortably

35
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,840
used with the thumb and that's exactly the position that it's there for

36
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:39,040
although with a finger you might get a little bit more range out of it because

37
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,040
the thumb you see I can't actually move my thumb too much on it and let's have a

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,360
look at the keyboard itself actually I did want to talk about the layout of it

39
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:53,319
so here so here's the touchpad there's the laser pointer there's the direction

40
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Keys okay so that's handy to have and

41
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:58,800
then uh there's a left Mouse button a right Mouse button so in case you want

42
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:02,720
to operate the touchpad like this that would work quite quite well for you so I

43
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,879
guess the touchpad can also be used this way although I don't know if there's a

44
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:10,599
toggle for that or if it just knows uh

45
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:14,720
which way it's being used okay so function

46
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:17,879
keys okay function alt is oh there's your start key so if you hold function

47
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,799
and press that one that's your start key here's your Windows key wait what oh no

48
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:27,000
this is the 90° flip aha there's the start key the Windows key okay so that's

49
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:31,080
how you flip the touchpad to uh to operate it this way okay that's cool

50
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:36,200
power switch here's your RF communication indicator as well as your battery

51
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:40,239
indicator and uh there's your shift or function not sure which one it is

52
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,760
indicator so you have a caps log key tab Escape shift you've got basically a full

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,080
keyboard on here let's see how easily you can actually type on it so if I was

54
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080
want to go to

55
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,560
www.nc.com I mean that's really what this is for it's just like entering a

56
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:00,360
web address for your media PC like you're not going to use it a ton but um

57
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,920
I'd say that you know it's tough because this thumb

58
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,799
very comfortably reaches all of the left hand Keys whereas this thumb because of

59
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:15,480
my smaller hands actually only probably reaches comfortably to about the K or

60
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,560
even just the L so if it was shorter you might be able to reach them all but then

61
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:22,560
you'd be compromising because you wouldn't have the touchpad anymore so

62
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,160
the device is quite thin let's have a look at where the USB key uh wireless

63
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,680
receiver is stored it's quite large actually uh unexpectedly large but uh

64
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:38,199
it's not Bluetooth so I don't know if that matters it's a 2.4 GHz wireless

65
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:42,240
dongle there it is so we can put that back in and then other than that I guess

66
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:46,039
there's not too much else to say there is the candy board from Vision tech one

67
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,840
of the other cool things about it is it's quite a lot cheaper than most of the other touchpad uh keyboard combo

68
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,240
units and it really does at the size of a remote because that's really the size

69
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,800
that we're looking at here at the size of a remote it has great functionality

70
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,680
and the price is pretty reasonable so I'd say it's pretty cool

71
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,360
pretty cool mg let's see if we can find a

72
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,360
cat hey

73
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,759
hey and that laser pointer is a great little feature
