Review on TopMate Ultra Slim Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - 2.4G Silent, Scissor Switch, with Cover - Gray Black (PC/Laptop/Windows/Mac) by Jacob Brooks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product works well, but a bad ergonomic choice for me.

I bought this keyboard on the recommendation of a YouTube streamer due to its known compatibility with the Jetson Xavier NX (although to be honest most USB wireless keyboards should be compatible). This may or may not be for you: 1) The worst part of the package is the mouse. It works well, but for me it's an ergonomic disaster. The mouse's low profile seems to drag more than most mice I've used, and my hands cramp after limited use. With a profile this flat, it's less easy to move around and I end up holding it awkwardly. A low profile may look good, but it doesn't work. 2) The keyboard isn't life-size, so it feels a bit cramped - the backspace and delete keys are closer together, and the keys (arrows, etc.) are laid out in a pattern. different from the standard keyboard. It takes up less space on your desk, but I feel uncomfortable typing since I'm used to a full-size keyboard. This isn't the product's fault, but make sure the keyboard layout suits your needs. 3) Does the keyboard come with silicone?/plastic? The lid is splash and dust resistant, but pulls on your fingers when typing. The keyboard feels much better without the dust cover, so I just removed it. I like the feel of the feel without the dust cover. I really like the feel of the keyboard. 4) The combination worked well - put the key in and off we went. It performed better than the Logitech combo it replaced. Unfortunately I will be purchasing another solution for my new keyboard/mouse needs.
