"Worthless, Frustrating Pointer"
Pros: Looks good on paper.
Cons: Worthless pointer, mouse buttons on the opposite side of the keyboard from pointer
Summary: The whole point of an all-in-one keyboard is to be able to do everything in one place without being attached to the CPU. This pointer doesn't work at all - you have to mash it down and try to guide it at the same time. When it finally responds, it does so big time, and you end up on the other side of the screen. This whole experience is AFTER you FINALLY locate the service pack or upgrade or whatever they call it on the Microsoft website and get it downloaded and installed. This piece of junk is exactly why people are embracing the simplicity of Apple. Stay far, far away from this frustrating, time-wasting, wretch of a product from a company that pays people enough to know better than to inflict this on innocent purchasers. If you need support or want to complain about it, you better do it quickly because the Microsoft website says that if you wait more than 90 days to try to solve it, you will have to pay $35 for any kind of support at all. All this from the company that is going to build your "Digital Lifestyle". Ha!
