Review on Kensington 64382 PilotBoard Wireless Desktop by Brad Cash

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The keyboard is barely acceptable, the mouse is terrible.

I actually bought this product because I was trying to use credit at a Best Buy store and thought it would be nice to have a wireless keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately I couldn't be more wrong. The keyboard is acceptable for daytime computer navigation and web browsing, but the frequency of missed keystrokes makes it unsuitable for typing long texts and coding becomes impossible. This is a little perspective, when I use a wired keyboard to code I have an error about every 30 lines, with this wireless keyboard I had an error or two per line. The mouse is even worse, eating up batteries like there's no tomorrow, not having a range beyond 3 feet, and not tracking properly on most surfaces. I would definitely stay away from this product, although it's down almost $40 in price, it's not worth it.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Brief instructions
