No trackpad feature?

Looks like a nice solid keyboard, but considering its lack of a dock and apparent need for drivers, it doesn't seem tablet friendly.

Where'd the rest of that CD go?

The dimensions say 8" x 3" x 2". Could that be 0.8" instead of 8"?

Why would you need a dock for a portable keyboard? and the disk clearly says the driver is for symbian(nokia) and windows mobile

looks like a good accessory for XBLA

no trackpad or nub == no purchase. my motorola one is sweet

Thanks so much for that observation. I pulled the trigger way too fast. A trackpad is a MUST in my application.

Cancel email sent to woot, hope they get the cancel before they ship.

I picked one up, nice price for the level of laziness it will provide while I lay in bed using my PC.

I can't imagine how a 3" keyboard is going to be any better to type on than an on-screen keyboard...

If only this had a trackpad and was wireless instead of bluetooth. Oh well. Next!!

This looks like it would be useful for people with really tiny hands, and a very small desk.

Must I remind people of their solemn Wootzien duty to post lol cats and funny gifs during times when the items take more then a few minutes to sell?

*sigh*

Here goes:

anyone tried this with a Galaxy SIII?

You don't NEED a dock, but it makes things easier to use. It allows for lap use, whereas using your tablet with a normal stand and the keyboard separately on your lap is a pain.

You're right about the drivers though; I misunderstood that (I was looking at a small picture on my phone). That said, do more recent versions of Symbian and Windows Mobile require drivers?

Here's an idea of the size:

I've never seen a non-Bluetooth wireless keyboard. Do they use wifi?

I have one of these.. I use mine to control windows media center and for web browsing on my HTPC.
The battery lasts a long time.. works great and is very useful for controlling devices that require occasional keyboard input.. Range is not so great.. but a clear shot to the receiver and it handles my 11 ft setup with no issues..

.

Seriously, what would one do with this? Is this really better than the native keyboard on a cell phone? Carry it in your pocket in case you need to reply to an email?

Wouldn't there need to be some sort of usb dongle? My laptop that is hooked up to my tv doesn't have bluetooth so I imagine this won't work. Maybe I am just ignorant though...

I see what you're saying. I wasn't intending to insult you; I was genuinely curious. As for that situation, yeah, it would be an issue. This keyboard is sort of for everything; I bet a bigger one with computers fully in mind would have a dongle.

Edit: It would probably have a trackpad too

The Internet claims you can fit this keyboard in a iphone4 Case.

No no... I knew you weren't trying to insult me. I apologize if my comment made you think that.

No worries.

For those of you needing a track pad check out this one (w/dongle) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UE52ME/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

or this one BT (I think) http://www.amazon.com/Favi-Entertainment-FE02BT-BL-Tablet-Kybrd-BT/dp/B00ASHPLUY/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1358897771&sr=1-11

The dongle version works great for XBMC on the Raspberry Pi. I haven't used the BT version.

There are MANY different version of these keyboards sold under different names. Search around Amazon, and look at the "Also Viewed" section.

This is what I was talking about.

Wireless devices use a usb receiver instead of bluetooth.

Just got this yesterday. Like the size and feel of the unit and keys. Seems to be a good quality device.

Now wishing I had got two, kids keep "testing" it.
