now you guys gave me a really hard time when I unboxed that uh that keyboard
that had the built-in iPhone dock that you could make you could use your iPhone
as a touchpad and the keyboard or you could use the keyboard to type on your
iPhone well here is a more PC oriented
product it's not expensive compared to the other one it has a Windows logo
right on it it has a limited lifetime warranty and this is for the multimedia
PC as well so this guy has a keyboard
and a touchpad built into it it uses
Bluetooth it has six internet hot Keys 14 embedded media keys and on the back
let's see some other product features here okay six internet hot keys and 14
media Keys okay connecting a hot switch
between six toast devices that's interesting all right what else do we
got here operating distance operating oh
wow up to 33 that's not bad that's uh
going to work pretty much anywhere inside your house in theory so keystroke
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
is actually which model is this ah okay so this is the KB 337 BP and this is the
kind of product that I would use that I would quite enjoy we've had stuff like
this on the market for a long time actually but a lot of it has been cost
prohibitive as you guys pointed out to me when when I unboxed that other
product that was like $100 for what was
essentially a keyboard that had a dock on it so I do
see your point this guy is quite a bit
cheaper and comes with batteries it's wireless
that was the other problem with the other one is it wasn't Wireless you actually needed wired power for it so I
understand that complaint as well although I have been using it and is it
is it is it is pretty decent for my purposes so let's plug this guy
in there we are that's pretty much the
entire setup process and let's have a look at the physical keyboard itself so
it's quite light which is nice because when you're sitting on the couch you
know you're like this you got a keyboard on your lap you don't want some big old
heavy thing it's also actually this the curvature is good as well so you can see
how it goes from flat and it angles down a little bit to be curved so what that
means is that you are leaning forward a little bit to to type on the keyboard or
like your your hands are like this and then to use the touchpad you're you're
coming up like this which is actually very natural Okay so we've got um really
are those are those touch sensitive cool so we've got a bunch of hot Keys here we
have all of your usual kinds of media keys so we've got uh play pause forward
back stop volume up volume down uh you
can that looks like locking the touchpad so that's kind of handy as well now in
terms of the key quality it's about what I would expect it's um about what you
would see on an average kind of laptop
so very short travel distances fairly
quiet so if you're up late watching TV or watching YouTube videos on your on
your television on your media PC or whatever the case may be then you're
probably not going to be disturbing anybody if you're typing on this it is a
Bluetooth keyboard so you will need a receiver uh bear that in mind you guys
it does not come with a receiver
and yeah I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it one thing that
really stands out to me about it though is it has a a really nice brush finish
here so it makes it look kind of sharp because the thing about a media keyboard
is it's probably you know if you're if you're kids or relatives or anything
like the people that I know you know this is going to end up just kind of
thrown on the couch after people are done watching TV and it's going to kind
of sit there so you want it to look pretty decent uh rather than just you
know being like some beige thing that doesn't have a nice finish on it because
people are going to see it when they come over potentially
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
guys can see what's involved and let me just have a look at
uh here's a little instruction quick important information actually thing so
why don't I tell you about this while you while you kind of check out the keyboard here check it out from that
Angle now so you can
um press here to enable disable use of the touchpad so yeah that is indeed what
this does to pair multiple bluetooth devices all you have to do is press and
hold the reset button until the connection LED is blinking then use your device's Bluetooth utility and search
and connect to the keyboard so it's kind of a Bluetooth Hub which is also kind of
neat you just press function and then the number you used when pairing the
device oh cool to to pair two devices 1
to six so that's kind of neat it's good to read documentation okay next we have
uh the pairing guide for the keyboard and then we also have this is actually
really neat it comes with a diagram most keyboards expect you to just kind of
stumble your way through it so this gives you a diagram of what all of the
keys here are bound to by default a pairing guide you've got this reference
sheet okay if you are buying this product for your parents for example my
parents they're not techsavvy at all so what I would do is I would take this
guide and I would tape it down inside
the drawer of their TV stand and then
it's there forever so that way if anyone calls me o the touch pad's not working
and I say okay press the function oh what's the function key oh the FN key
the one the blue one but all the keys are black no the one with the blue text
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
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
I have to say is hey go look at the piece of paper I taped it there for a
reason so that's actually really handy I appreciate that it cost them almost
nothing to print out this piece of paper but it's very useful and finally we have
a quick start guide which looks like it covers how to put in the batteries
pretty much all right so thank you for checking out my unboxing of this
particular AO keyboard the KB 337 BP
