so here's another product from sedo which uh actually is very similar to The
Air keyboard the one that I looked at last time however there are a couple of
key differences between the Air keyboard and the Air keyboard conqueror for PC
and PS3 so one is that this guy works with PC and PS3 and the other is that
instead of being purely an air mouse and I'll explain a little bit what an air
mouse is in just a moment as well as a keyboard This one is also a dual analog
game pad so check this out so you can see they've built in the x square
triangle and circle logos that use that
play Sony PlayStation uses but they've also numbered them for PC use you've
also got your d-pad up here so actually feels fairly well built too it's got
kind of a rubberized grippy thing going on on the sides here this side and this
side and then these have also a bit of a textured rubberized finish to the top of
them and uh what do we got here so you got your power you got your left and
right click I like the way they've implemented left and right click on this
one versus the way it was done on the other one where this was left click and
this was right click so I mean that kind of worked but I think I I do prefer this
I have to wonder if you can use the analog stick as a mouse uh I wonder if
they mention that on the specification so let's see oh this is cool too okay so
here why don't we go through what they have to say about it so frequency range
okay 2.4 GHz gotcha built-in lithium ion
rechargeable battery so the other one you have to change the batteries yourself this one looks like it charges
via USB which is really really nice uh
what else we got here operation time greater than 20 hours of constant use
which is awesome charging time is 3 to 4 hours effective range up to 10 met I'm
inclined to believe that based on how well the sedo Air keyboard has been
working for me so far it's actually replaced all of my other devices for my
htpc including my uh Phantom lapboard
including my uh what was that brand I had an AO I had one of those AO
Bluetooth keyboards it was about this big had a trackpad on the side I was
using one of those for a little while and that one I just kind of I gave up on
once I started using this guy well the other one of these and uh what else did
I try you know what it's just it's just
a size thing because for me having a keyboard on the couch was just too
inconvenient even if it had an attached trackpad and especially something like
the Phantom lapboard where it had a separate Mouse it was just it wasn't
that it wasn't really very elegant hunting around for two pieces whereas
for this I can just pick up one thing so the way the air mouse works is you just
kind of position it somewhere and it'll zero itself and then you go okay I want
to move down I want to move up I want to move left I want to move right so you kind of position things it's reasonably
accurate although this is not a super um Ultra Premium brand by any stretch of
the imagination and so you know it wasn't necessarily what you might expect
out of someone like an apple if they were to release a product like that but
it is accurate enough that I can sit on my couch about 12 15 ft away from my TV
and I can quite easily navigate this is at 1080p so we're talking small Mouse
pointers and small boxes to hit when I'm closing programs or opening up a file or
doing whatever else it is I want to do and then all I do is I take it I put it
down on the counter then the mouse goes away I watch my movie and it's h very
very convenient and the size is perfect cuz it fits in a drawer you just grab it
use it you can type very easily so the full quity keyboard includes almost
every button you need once again with this model so you got even F keys I
don't think the other one has F Keys that's uh that's outstanding uh caps
lock you got shift over here the other one had two shifts so I'm actually going
to kind of miss that other shift but this one they've put in a Windows key here other one has a Windows key uh up
at the top somewhere so they have changed the layout a little bit but I don't see any real problems one thing
that I'm curious to see if they've addressed is the no they haven't
addressed this I would like to see the home row more like in the center and if
they compress the keyboard a little bit on this side that would be nice CU otherwise you're kind of you're reaching
over a little bit more with your right hand but as long as you sort of remember
and you don't try to just touch type from from a center like this then it's
not that big of a deal um I think I do like the keyboard on the Air keyboard
itself but if you want the additional convenience of of having a Gamepad built
into it I guess this isn't a bad trade-off I like the way they've done the ergonomics as well so they've got
kind of a contour thing here that is very comfortable it kind of sits between
these two fingers here if you're using the game Bad portion and then you just
hold it between these two fingers if you want to actually type on the keyboard
the device is quite light sorry my assistant got attacked by a cat so uh
that was not that ideal sounds like there's
something inside this one maybe it was damaged during shipping but I'll try it
out and I'll I'll let you guys know if it doesn't work that's probably the best
approach to take take I have no idea what this port's
for okay maybe that's something to do with PlayStation cuz I'm not much of a
console guy so I don't always I don't always know these things but there's
your charging I'm going to go ahead and throw the battery in here so it's got
one of these covers on it to uh they want you to pull
this oh come on you couldn't possibly want me to pull that no you want me to
pull that if I want to remove the battery after I put it in there we
go and then the last thing we've got
here there batter is loaded oh look at that it's powered on already there you
go you got a blue light there showing you it's powered on and last but not
least we've got the charging cable which is just your standard USB a to mini B
and then finally we've got the wireless dongle which as I mentioned before with
mine the range is excellent the reliability is excellent compared to
some of the other ones that I've used in the past that I haven't been nearly as
impressed with so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the oh
the shaking is gone oh no it's not at the sedo Air keyboard conqueror don't
