today I'll be doing an unboxing of the sedo wireless 3D mouse keyboard so this
0:13
is a company that's based in Taiwan they're calling this the Air keyboard
0:17
let's have a look at what else they have to say about themselves it is okay
0:20
Beyond limitation easy installation good Wireless life Plug and Play okay
0:26
interesting let's see what else we got here same kind of stuff uh operating
0:30
voltage 2 to3 volts two AA batteries is what powers it it supports pretty much
0:35
every OS Under the Sun including Linux look at that interesting effective range
0:39
of up to 10 m hot keys for controlling Windows multimedia functions motion
0:44
sensing air mouse now that is cool left
0:47
and right Mouse button so here we go let's go ahead and I'm
0:52
just going to grab a little screwdriver here cuz I lost my unboxing Knife yet
0:56
again and let's open this thing up and have a look it looks pretty cool based
1:01
on my analysis of the outside packaging
1:05
but remains to be seen how good the product looks so comes with a couple
1:09
ablea Energizer batteries very nice
1:12
those don't expire until 2017 so those will last you a little
1:16
while okay and then we have the oh
1:21
that's a clever way to store the dongle look at that so the dongle plugs into a
1:25
dummy USB port on the back for storage and then you just unplug that
1:29
plug plug it into your USB port and off you go it's Plug and
1:33
Play the batteries install here as well
1:37
as here so the weight of the unit should be pretty even to the left and the right
1:42
and let's have a look at the overall layout of it so you've got a full quiry
1:46
keyboard layout yeah almost everything no compromises being made here so all
1:51
the number Keys uh the tab you've got
1:54
all your letters you've got like your brackets and your backs slash and your
1:59
semic colon your apostrophe so you can
2:03
you can actually type let's let's have a look
2:10
okay personally I would have preferred
2:14
if the letters were a little bit more centered on the layout because what I
2:17
find myself doing is um gravitating
2:21
towards here as kind of my home row spots when actually they're more like
2:25
sort of here so it's a bit of a reach for my right hand so
2:31
yeah the spacing is feels a little funny but I think you'd get used to that
2:35
without too much difficulty now it's got a space key that actually has three
2:40
points under it I can feel three distinct switches down there so what's
2:43
nice is that means if you hit it with your left hand or your right hand you're still going to get it to uh register got
2:49
your backspace key here you got your delete you got your calculator search my
2:54
computer email and internet hot Keys
2:58
then you also have media Keys mute volume down volume up stop back forward
3:02
pause play and Skip as well as a hm
3:06
that's kind kind of a mouse pointer key and a Windows key now you can use the
3:09
mouse like this or you've got oh
3:13
interesting so all right you have either the option of the air using these as an
3:18
air mouse or you can move the pointer around this way there's your middle
3:21
click there's your left and there's your right click I'm going to have to try this as an air mouse to see how it goes
3:26
though so the air mouse actually works
3:30
surprisingly well so um check out the
3:33
computer screen basically here I'm going to lean forward a little bit so you can
3:36
kind of see what I'm doing but all I have to do is aim it around kind of like
3:40
a laser pointer at the screen and I can
3:44
move the mouse cursor around now in terms of accuracy let's go ahead so I
3:49
can double left click using the shoulder button here and uh don't ask me again I
3:54
can go here and I can go to youtube.com
4:02
enter and my cat is drinking my water
4:06
can you believe
4:09
this oh my internet connection's down okay give me a sec guys sorry about that
4:13
guys okay I got my Internet working now so we're going to go ahead go to
4:17
youtube.com here we go so I'm going to type in oh I don't know line
4:24
T oops
4:28
tips enter and then I can find oh the
4:31
channel line is check so looks like a good Channel just going to maximize my
4:36
window here scroll down so the accuracy is actually good enough for me to sit
4:40
here and so 13 years you guys wait that's enough of that and use my
4:44
computer as I normally would see pesky ads go away there you are so there you
4:49
