2009-08-31
hey what's up guys it's Marcus Brownlee here from mkbhd and welcome to another HD Hardware review video today I'll be reviewing the wireless flexible multimedia keyboard sent to me by the people at D s International and if you want to check out the unboxing video you can obviously click that annotation right there and that is basically it so let's just head right on into this review videos international flexible keyboard is this sort of an odd yet an interesting gadget I just like the name says obviously it's flexible keyboard you can completely fold it up and since its most likely going to be carried around with you it is dust proof and it is completely moisture proof so you don't have to keep in your backpack if you're actually going to carry it around you can just carry it as you can see here this keyboard actually has all the same features and keys as a regular standard keyboard and also the way that it's shaped into what it's made of is very solidly made and it allows you to type extremely quietly and it does take a good couple of days to get used to typing on this keyboard full time but it allows you to type away quite quietly and not disturbing anyone else in your area so as you saw in the unboxing video there's actually a few things that come in the box number one the mini CD you just saw and number two the mini USB adapter so like you also may have seen in the unboxing video there are a number of FN keys at the top including some browser forward backward and refresh buttons and some media control these are pretty good if you have some kind of a netbook that you're traveling with where you actually don't have all the the keys that you need and you need to carry along a keyboard just like this or you can have all the functionality of a full-sized keyboard to other things you might want to know about the keyboard are that one it runs on a triple-a battery system found in the left hand side of the keyboard where you also press to connect and number two is that it's 2.4 gigahertz wireless just two simple things very very standard and the triple AAA batteries have lasted me this long so pretty good connecting to your computer is actually the easiest part all you have to do is just take that USB stick plug it into your computer and push to connect and there's also a push to connect on the keyboard and you'll see it to start to blink once the connection has occurred everything is automatic that drivers the wireless everything it works perfectly and I really love how easy it is to connect so that's that's definitely a pro for this keyboard now the only real quirks that I found with this keyboard are that number one there are there are two windows keys as you can see here but that I really got used to and the other thing is that as you can see just to the left of the spacebar there's a blank key that you can still press but nothing happens when you press it so those are the only two slightly odd things but I mean you really get used to them and you can type just as well with those being there now overall for those of you wondering yes this is a full-size keyboard as you can see by the overlay here with my 17 inch laptop completely full size 100% for those of you who have a problem with small keys so overall guys I'm going to have to give this an 8 out of 10 and it's a very solid keyboard for the price I might add and you can check this all out at the link in the description for the DES International website and so yeah just go ahead and check that link in the description and thank you very much for watching his overall review video now this was definitely a new style of a review I filmed and edited this entire thing with Camtasia Studio 6 so if you have any other questions about how to do that just go ahead and feel free to message me I guess using the annotation I'll pop up there and that is basically it so thank you for watching this review video guys again check it out if you decide to get one just let me know down in the comments and be sure to rate 5 stars thanks for watching guys you
