WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.639 --> 00:00:10.559
vision Tech candy board it's a wireless Mini keyboard with a built-in touchpad

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

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:19.119
that is the fact that the touchpad is capable of being used in both a

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.320
horizontal or a vertical position and also that the quality of the touchpad is

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

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:31.320
other kind of uh lame touchpad integrated keyboard units that uh just

00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:34.680
use really low quality touchpad like it's basically as if it's not even

00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:38.840
really meant to be used it has a built-in laser pointer so I guess you

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.399
could use it for pointing at stuff it has a USB connector with no drivers

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:47.399
needed and it has a little compartment to store the USB dongle there's a USB

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:54.680
input for charging the unit and it works with Windows PS3 Xbox 360 Mac and Linux

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.480
so basically everything you could want I

00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:01.039
lost my unboxing knife when I accidentally tried to take my keychain

00:00:59.239 --> 00:01:08.240
onto the plane with me when I went to Markham and not really thinking about it

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.439
before uh taking my keys I left my knife

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:15.360
on the keys and obviously that got confiscated by airport security um

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:20.560
funnily enough not until the return ride so the Vancouver airport did not find

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:25.280
the knife whereas the Toronto Airport did so that's the candy board it is Tiny

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

00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:32.960
sized keyboard okay let's just have a look look at what accessories are

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

00:01:35.399 --> 00:01:42.960
charging the device then we have the users manual

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:47.920
turn off this device in the hospital attention to do not operate this device

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:51.439
while driving okay that's good these are good safety precautions they're giving

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

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

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.719
have an included laser pointer so so that's the first thing I want to try

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:07.160
let's flip the switch to on and then try

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:11.239
the laser pointer ha it has a laser pointer cool okay so you can oh here

00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:14.560
here here's an idea what's

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:25.360
that they love chasing the laser pointer that's rocket here's

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:27.640
Rumble okay anyway I digress the candy

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:31.920
board then so here's the touchpad the touchpad is big enough to be comfortably

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:35.840
used with the thumb and that's exactly the position that it's there for

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:39.040
although with a finger you might get a little bit more range out of it because

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

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:47.360
look at the keyboard itself actually I did want to talk about the layout of it

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:53.319
so here so here's the touchpad there's the laser pointer there's the direction

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:55.040
Keys okay so that's handy to have and

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

00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:02.720
to operate the touchpad like this that would work quite quite well for you so I

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

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:10.599
toggle for that or if it just knows uh

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:14.720
which way it's being used okay so function

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:17.879
keys okay function alt is oh there's your start key so if you hold function

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

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

00:03:24.760 --> 00:03:31.080
how you flip the touchpad to uh to operate it this way okay that's cool

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:36.200
power switch here's your RF communication indicator as well as your battery

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:40.239
indicator and uh there's your shift or function not sure which one it is

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

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

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.080
want to go to

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

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

00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:05.920
I'd say that you know it's tough because this thumb

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.799
very comfortably reaches all of the left hand Keys whereas this thumb because of

00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:15.480
my smaller hands actually only probably reaches comfortably to about the K or

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

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:22.560
you'd be compromising because you wouldn't have the touchpad anymore so

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

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:32.680
receiver is stored it's quite large actually uh unexpectedly large but uh

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:58.800
that we're looking at here at the size of a remote it has great functionality

00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:02.680
and the price is pretty reasonable so I'd say it's pretty cool

00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.360
pretty cool mg let's see if we can find a

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.360
cat hey

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:14.759
hey and that laser pointer is a great little feature
