1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,839
all right well I've been promising this video for a while this is the vision

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,679
Tech candy board that I had a look at a little while back you know the one with

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,400
the onoff switch here and the built-in

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:20,400
cat toy I mean laser pointer in the end of it so compelling reason to get a

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:23,800
candy board well it replaces a huge

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,960
keyboard and mouse at a media PC so it's

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,759
about the size actually even a little bit smaller than a media center keyboard

8
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:36,719
and it's got all of the keyboard and mouse functionality that you can need so

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:41,079
as you can see my ghetto Media Center is set up over here so we're going to do a

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:46,760
quick setup guide which should be fairly straightforward basically you pull the

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:54,840
little USB receiver out of the candy board like so then you walk over to the

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,840
computer and plug it

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,520
in the driver installs

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:07,159
and uh when I did this at work it actually didn't take very long at all

15
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:11,680
and you tell the cat to go away apparently he wants to visit me

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,640
right now hi

17
00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:24,520
Rumble okay it's enough visiting with the cat so my device is ready to use

18
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:29,200
which you can see there and I'm going to go ahead and demonstrate how to use it

19
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,720
so I'm going to put my camera here hopefully that'll work work and then I

20
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:38,799
guess I could even zoom in a little bit look at that that's high tech

21
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,680
zooming okay so with the candy board I can move the

22
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:50,960
mouse hopefully oh hold

23
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:53,680
on oh not quite hold on wait for

24
00:01:50,960 --> 00:02:00,200
it okay USB input device yeah okay hopefully the battery

25
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,840
is not dead or anything like that see what happens if I press the Windows

26
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,560
button I might have to come back in just a moment here oh hold on what was that I

27
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:12,959
saw another light yeah there we go okay so the green light went on on the candy board and now I can actually move the

28
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:18,280
mouse around with the touchpad so I'm going to go ahead and go down to the uh

29
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,560
Windows button and then I can click on it by pushing on the touchpad and then

30
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,640
maybe I'd want to open up uh oh I don't

31
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:30,360
know solitire and then I could place solitire

32
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:33,080
from my couch with the candy board

33
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:37,400
if I so desired okay so that's enough of just looking at the screen but I just

34
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,800
want to show you sort of the ergonomics of the candy board

35
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:46,720
itself now one thing that was a bit of a challenge for me was uh the fact that

36
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:51,599
the left side is quite accessible like I can easily type with the entire left

37
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,720
side of the keyboard using my left thumb but I found it a bit of a challenge to

38
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,720
type on the right side of the keyboard using my right thumb because I can't

39
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:02,400
quite reach over the touchpad so if you have have large hands that would

40
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,000
probably be a little bit easier for you alternately you could hold it like this

41
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:11,560
or even just put it down on the table in front of you and then you can just uh

42
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:16,280
hunt and pack type like that and that might be the easiest thing now one of

43
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,840
the other cool features of this candy

44
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:23,120
board is uh oh where did it go I

45
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,480
remember I found the

46
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:30,560
uh I wonder what that button does I don't know it's like the explosion

47
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,400
button look at it um I found it when I

48
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,720
did the unboxing but now I appear to have lost it but there's a button to

49
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:43,480
rotate the uh touch pad

50
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,120
90° and um hold on I'm going to pause

51
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:51,879
while I find that aha here it is so function and then this blue button here

52
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,799
will make the touch pad not rotate hold on maybe I have to

53
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,040
hold function yeah there we go so now you can

54
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:05,879
use it more like in the shape of a remote so I'm going to go ahead and uh

55
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:12,439
zoom in on the screen again yeah I know so now I can move the

56
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:14,439
mouse up and down like this and it makes

57
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:19,199
it a little bit more ergonomic to uh to hold it that

58
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:21,280
way and there's a cat who apparently

59
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:26,880
really wants attention he loves the candy board too as you can see Rumble is

60
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:31,520
a big fan of the candy board now he's uh a big fan of my lap and he's sitting

61
00:04:29,479 --> 00:04:36,400
there so there you go cats love the candy

62
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:40,800
board they will nuzzle it and bite it oh don't bite the candy

63
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,759
board okay so that was pretty much all I wanted to say about it basically what it

64
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:49,400
is is it's a convenient way to access all of your essential media functions

65
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,080
with something that's a lot smaller than a standard keyboard I mean this is even

66
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,479
already quite a small keyboard and it works quite well I mean the range is

67
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:01,280
enough that I can sit on my couch over here and I can comfortably control

68
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,440
everything on this screen and you've got pretty much every key that you could

69
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:08,759
need uh there's your left and right click there's your arrow buttons as well

70
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,680
as you've even got like things like page up and page down which is great for

71
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:16,440
reading web pages so if you wanted to just it's not something that I'd really

72
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,639
recommend for extensive use of your computer but if you just want to like

73
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:24,759
open up a web browser type in a web address and then

74
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,960
you know just read a couple articles on your on your media PC I mean something

75
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:33,000
like this is great so thank you for checking out my howto video on the

76
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:39,280
