2011-09-06
today I'll be doing an unboxing of the Sudoku wireless 3d mouse keyboard so this is a company that's based in Taiwan they're calling this the air keyboard let's have a look at what else they have to say about themselves it is ok beyond limitation easy installation good Wireless light plug-and-play ok interesting let's see what else we got here same kind of stuff operating voltage 2 to 3 volts 2 double-a batteries is what powers it it supports pretty much every OS under the Sun including Linux look at that and interesting effective range of up to 10 meters hotkeys for controlling Windows multimedia functions motion sensing air mouths now that is cool left and right mouse buttons so here we go let's go ahead a little screwdriver here cuz I lost my unboxing name yet again yeah let's open this thing up and have a look it actually looks pretty cool based on my analysis at the outside packaging but remains to be seen how good the product looks so it comes with a couple double-a energizer batteries very nice those don't expire until 2017 so those will last you a little while ok and then we have the oh that's a clever way to store the dongle look at that so the dongle plugs into a dummy USB port on the back for storage and then you just unplug that plug it into your USB port and off you go it's plug-and-play the battery is installed here as well as here so the weight of the unit should be pretty even to the left and the right and let's have a look at the overall layout of it so you've got a full QWERTY keyboard layout yeah almost everything no compromise is being made here so all the number keys the tab you've got all your letters you've got like your brackets and your backslash and your semicolon your posture fee so you can you can actually type let's let's have a look ok personally I would have preferred if the letters were a little bit more centered on the layout because when I find myself doing is gravitating towards here as kind of my home row spots when actually they're more like sort of here so it's a bit of a reach for my right hand so yeah the spacing is it feels a little funny but I think you'd get used to that without too much difficulty now it's got a space key that actually has three points under it I can feel three distinct switches down there so what's nice is that means if you hit it with your left hand or your right hand you're still going to get it to register okay your backspace key here you got your delete you got your calculator search my computer email and internet hotkeys then you also have media keys mute volume down volume up stop back for word pause play and skip as well as a hmm most pointer key and a Windows key now you can use the mouse like this or you've got interesting so alright you know either the option of the air using these as an air mouse or you can move the pointer around this way there's your middle click there's your left and there's a right click I'm gonna have to try this as an air mouse to see how it goes though so the air mouse actually works surprisingly well so check out the computer screen basically I'm going to lean forward a little bit so you can kind of see what I'm doing but all I have to do is aim it around kind of like a laser pointer at the screen and I can move the mouse cursor around now in terms of accuracy let's go ahead so I can double left-click using the shoulder button here and don't ask me again I can go here and I can go to youtube.com and my cat is drinking my water can you believe this oh my internet connection is down okay give me a sec guys sorry about that guys okay I got my internet working now so we're gonna go ahead go to youtube.com there we go so I'm going to tie I don't know liest whoops tips I turn when I can find oh channel nice to cave so it looks like a good channel it's gonna maximize the window here scroll down so the accuracy is actually good enough for me to sit here and and use my computer as I normally would see pesky oscillating video so there you go that is the air keyboard thank you for checking out my video don't forget to subscribe for Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
