Azio KB337BP Wireless Media Keyboard With Touchpad Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2011-07-30
now you guys gave me a really hard time when i unboxed that 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 has a limited lifetime warranty and this is for the multimedia pc as well so this guy has a keyboard and a touch pad built into it it uses bluetooth it has six internet hawk he's 14 embedded media keys and on the back let's see some other product features here okay six internet hotkeys 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 feet that's not bad that's uh gonna work pretty much anywhere inside your house in theory so he stroked life is 10 million all this good stuff you know what let's just get this baby opened up because this is from osseo this is actually which model is this ah ok so this is the kb 30 37 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 i unbox that other product that was like a hundred dollars 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 it is it is it is pretty decent for my purposes so let's plug this guy in here 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 don't feel like this you got a keyboard on your lap you don't want some big old heavy thing it's also actually not this is 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 type on the keyboard or like your your hands are like this and then to use the touchpad you're coming up like this which is actually very natural okay so we've got um let me are those are those touch-sensitive pool so we've got a bunch of hot keys here we have all of your usual kinds of media keys so we've got a play/pause forward back stop volume up volume down 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 is some about what you would see on an average kind of laptop so very short travel distance is fairly quiet so if you're up late watching TV you're 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 I'll 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 but one thing that really stands out to me about it though is it has a really nice brushed finish here so it makes it look kind of sharp because the thing about a media keyboard is is probably you know if your if your kids are 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 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 we 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 in look yet here's a little instruction quick important information actually thanks a lot i tell you about this while you while you kind of check out the keyboard here check it out from that angle so you can i press here to enable/disable you some sath padta 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 than user devices Bluetooth utility in 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 two pair two devices 126 that's kind of neat it's good to read documentation okay next we have 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 on my parents sir they're not tech savvy 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 mmm-hmm the touchpad is not working and I say okay press the function all what's the function key uh-huh the FN key the one that did 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 tax SS function but it says FN c 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
