I have this in yellow, glow in the dark.

its small. the keyboard is like the size of a mini and your fingers crowd together to type. The letters are quickly wearing off of the tabs, and the mouse that came with it broke the 2nd days. it simply fell apart.

its a GREAT idea in theory, but they could improve a few things. Make the keys bigger. Make the stickers on the keys more durable, and while its great that its glow in the dark and yellow, it doesnt help if I still have to hunt and peck because my fingers keep hitting the wrong keys.

Would I buy this product again...no. I would search for a normal size keyboard and buy my own cheap stickers that can go over the keys and be large print. it also too FOREVER for this thing to ship to me. it took 3 weeks for it to leave their factory, and then another 12 days to arrive at my home. I could have walked to the factory and picked it up faster.

I give this one a fail. sorry.

For 14.95, don't expect too much, but the idea is great.

by the time you get the package, its about $40 not $14, so pricey! I had really pinned big hopes on it, and was not happy when on week one the letters were rubbing off. I called the 800 # and they told me that I could pay shipping to get it back to them, and they would refund, but they seemed so hesitant. it took forever for them to send me mine, so I bet it would take months to get my money back.

I always read the reviews on places like amazon or QVC and such. I wish i had sought out the reviews on this one. a twenty dollar keyboard ended up costing much more.

I haven't tried this keyboard but I've tried several other stick-on types and the stick-on labels always fell off easily. And if you try to take them off to replace them with more stick-on labels, getting the keys really clean from that adhesive gunk is a project too.

I don't look at the keyboard much because I learned to touch-type at an early age. You could try learning that if you haven't already. I still do need to look at some keys though because computer keyboards are a bit different from what I learned, a thousand years ago.

Also, what they're promoting in the ad as an "ergonomic mouse" isn't very ergonomic. I've tried out some mice of this type and don't think they'd help much.

Default They are here

I can not believe they got here so fast. They look ok but I have not used them because I brought them for later in case my eyes get really bad.

I wish I had known all this before I stuck out my $40.00 for the 2 of them. it seemed the same size as a regular keyboard on tv. I didn't get the glow in the dark stickers I didn't think they would be worth it. I know not to expect it until like 6 weeks. I use to take these calls at home before I started really feeling bad.

dont get me wrong, its still a ok keyboard, but for what they advertise it to do...sorry, fail. it took FOREVER for it to ship, and i was to the point of calling the 800 # to cancel my order. it works, its just...cheap...you are better off getting a logitech at staples for half the price and twice the quality.

Call you call and cancel your order?
