00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.360
now you guys gave me a really hard time when I unboxed that uh that keyboard

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:17.520
that had the built-in iPhone dock that you could make you could use your iPhone

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.000
as a touchpad and the keyboard or you could use the keyboard to type on your

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:25.920
iPhone well here is a more PC oriented

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:30.039
product it's not expensive compared to the other one it has a Windows logo

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:36.480
right on it it has a limited lifetime warranty and this is for the multimedia

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:39.600
PC as well so this guy has a keyboard

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:41.719
and a touchpad built into it it uses

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.360
Bluetooth it has six internet hot Keys 14 embedded media keys and on the back

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.719
let's see some other product features here okay six internet hot keys and 14

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.160
media Keys okay connecting a hot switch

00:00:52.199 --> 00:00:59.079
between six toast devices that's interesting all right what else do we

00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:02.120
got here operating distance operating oh

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.239
wow up to 33 that's not bad that's uh

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:07.119
going to work pretty much anywhere inside your house in theory so keystroke

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:13.799
life is 10 million all this good stuff you know what let's just get this baby opened up because this is from AO this

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:20.640
is actually which model is this ah okay so this is the KB 337 BP and this is the

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:25.000
kind of product that I would use that I would quite enjoy we've had stuff like

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:29.320
this on the market for a long time actually but a lot of it has been cost

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.119
prohibitive as you guys pointed out to me when when I unboxed that other

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:36.040
product that was like $100 for what was

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:42.920
essentially a keyboard that had a dock on it so I do

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:44.439
see your point this guy is quite a bit

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:49.320
cheaper and comes with batteries it's wireless

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:56.320
that was the other problem with the other one is it wasn't Wireless you actually needed wired power for it so I

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:00.119
understand that complaint as well although I have been using it and is it

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:06.680
is it is it is pretty decent for my purposes so let's plug this guy

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.319
in there we are that's pretty much the

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:12.720
entire setup process and let's have a look at the physical keyboard itself so

00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:16.360
it's quite light which is nice because when you're sitting on the couch you

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.280
know you're like this you got a keyboard on your lap you don't want some big old

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.560
heavy thing it's also actually this the curvature is good as well so you can see

00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:28.800
how it goes from flat and it angles down a little bit to be curved so what that

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:32.519
means is that you are leaning forward a little bit to to type on the keyboard or

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:35.920
like your your hands are like this and then to use the touchpad you're you're

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:42.720
coming up like this which is actually very natural Okay so we've got um really

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:47.360
are those are those touch sensitive cool so we've got a bunch of hot Keys here we

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:53.480
have all of your usual kinds of media keys so we've got uh play pause forward

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:56.080
back stop volume up volume down uh you

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:59.440
can that looks like locking the touchpad so that's kind of handy as well now in

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:04.640
terms of the key quality it's about what I would expect it's um about what you

00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:08.400
would see on an average kind of laptop

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:10.799
so very short travel distances fairly

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.000
quiet so if you're up late watching TV or watching YouTube videos on your on

00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:17.120
your television on your media PC or whatever the case may be then you're

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.920
probably not going to be disturbing anybody if you're typing on this it is a

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:26.799
Bluetooth keyboard so you will need a receiver uh bear that in mind you guys

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:28.760
it does not come with a receiver

00:03:26.799 --> 00:03:31.120
and yeah I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it one thing that

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:36.720
really stands out to me about it though is it has a a really nice brush finish

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:41.120
here so it makes it look kind of sharp because the thing about a media keyboard

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:45.439
is it's probably you know if you're if you're kids or relatives or anything

00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:48.319
like the people that I know you know this is going to end up just kind of

00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:51.280
thrown on the couch after people are done watching TV and it's going to kind

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:55.480
of sit there so you want it to look pretty decent uh rather than just you

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:58.799
know being like some beige thing that doesn't have a nice finish on it because

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:02.120
people are going to see it when they come over potentially

00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:07.840
I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it why don't we just get some closer product shots at this so you

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:12.159
guys can see what's involved and let me just have a look at

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:15.560
uh here's a little instruction quick important information actually thing so

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:21.320
why don't I tell you about this while you while you kind of check out the keyboard here check it out from that

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.720
Angle now so you can

00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:27.479
um press here to enable disable use of the touchpad so yeah that is indeed what

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:30.800
this does to pair multiple bluetooth devices all you have to do is press and

00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:35.120
hold the reset button until the connection LED is blinking then use your device's Bluetooth utility and search

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.759
and connect to the keyboard so it's kind of a Bluetooth Hub which is also kind of

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:46.840
neat you just press function and then the number you used when pairing the

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:49.320
device oh cool to to pair two devices 1

00:04:46.840 --> 00:04:54.919
to six so that's kind of neat it's good to read documentation okay next we have

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.680
uh the pairing guide for the keyboard and then we also have this is actually

00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:02.440
really neat it comes with a diagram most keyboards expect you to just kind of

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.680
stumble your way through it so this gives you a diagram of what all of the

00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:10.479
keys here are bound to by default a pairing guide you've got this reference

00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:16.280
sheet okay if you are buying this product for your parents for example my

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:22.240
parents they're not techsavvy at all so what I would do is I would take this

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.600
guide and I would tape it down inside

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.840
the drawer of their TV stand and then

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:33.039
it's there forever so that way if anyone calls me o the touch pad's not working

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:37.759
and I say okay press the function oh what's the function key oh the FN key

00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:42.280
the one the blue one but all the keys are black no the one with the blue text

00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:47.600
well there's a bunch with blue text the one with the blue text that says function but it says FN see I'm trying

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:53.800
to diagnose this over the phone so I don't have the keyboard in front of me right so I don't have to explain it all

00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:57.240
I have to say is hey go look at the piece of paper I taped it there for a

00:05:55.080 --> 00:06:00.960
reason so that's actually really handy I appreciate that it cost them almost

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:05.639
nothing to print out this piece of paper but it's very useful and finally we have

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.759
a quick start guide which looks like it covers how to put in the batteries

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:14.080
pretty much all right so thank you for checking out my unboxing of this
