ActiveWin.com: Microsoft Natural MultiMedia & MultiMedia Keyboards - Review | |
|
||
| Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
I have posted my review of Microsoft's Natural MultiMedia & MultiMedia Keyboards. Here is an excerpt: To customize your keys, select either “Keyboard” from the Control Panel or “Microsoft Keyboard” from the Program menu. On the Key Settings tab, you’ll see a list of thirty hot key defaults, which you can reprogram if you like. Another nice feature is you can print out a list of the key assignments, which is good for those who like to reprogram a significant amount of keys. From here you can edit your key assignments from a list of fifty-five available commands. Options include disabling, programming to open a webpage or file, and reprogramming to fit Microsoft’s available commands. Some keys, however, such as the Caps Lock, you can only disable the key but not reprogram it. | ||

Not much special here.
They should roll the features of the Office Keyboard into EVERY one of their keyboards, then there will be something to be proud of. I have 4 of them in use, and it's the best keyboard I've used so far. TL |

| #5. I hope they do. I use the USB ports extensively. Don't throw your mouse away, it's still pretty good! :-) The optical blue wireless has less buttons! |

#3 - Well if this one is like the Office keyboard... it's anything but a cheap clip on thing. It's permanently molded into the keyboard.
Oddly enough, however, it isn't a very good one and I think that's a bad design feature on their part. |

| This one is just a clip-on. |

The one on the Office Keyboard is permanently attached. It also houses the left-hand control pod.

Bob any updates on the black optical desktop pro?
Thanks, RA |

| I hope to get that soon. They are still having delays but some retailers now have them. Bluetooth review should be up tomorrow :-) |

Good Deal. I guess I will just wait for your review then! One question I do have is whether I can use this and keep my wired Explorer 3.0 mouse? Could you test that?
Thanks, Ben |

| Use which with the mouse? The optical desktop, multimedia keyboard or bluetooth desktop? :-) |

Heh... The optical desktop pro - the mouse that comes with it. And the intellimouse explorer 3.0 (The wired usb 5 button jobby). I worry a little because the optical desktop comes with a mouse as well but it doesn't have all the buttons on it. I might be able to get by with the wireless intellimouse explorer but definitely not with the one that gets bundled with the optical desktop pro. I would rather just keep using my Intellimouse Explorer which in my opinion is the best mouse available on the market today. I really want the black natural keyboard that comes with optical desktop pro. Best thing for me would be the Natural Multimedia Keyboard only the same color as the Optical Desktop pro.
Thanks Bob! I look forward to the review. |
