Bad Keyboard.......2007-12-11
Could be great if the keys didn't stick. If you are looking for an HTPC keyboard for rare use since you'll be using a remote control 99% of the time, you might be able to put up with the keys. Otherwise, I would have junked this thing a long time ago.
Need a hammer for the keys........2007-12-09
I love this thing, but over time, the keys get stiffer and stiffer. I started using two fingers occasionally to press the keys. I'd love for it to work right - it's perfect for my use, but it's now in the closet.
The key for a living room PC setup!.......2007-11-21
I got this product from Woot a while back and since have integrated my PC with the HDTV in the living room. This keyboard is the glue that makes it work because without it, you can't interact with the PC.
It's not perfect. The mouse is slow and imprecise and it requires a two-handed operation. It might have been better with an integrated trackball or a touchpad, but it does work and it's sufficient for most "living room" PC tasks. What we use it for is primarily web-surfing/internet lookups, e-mail, and videos/multimedia. Since it is in the living room and uses the TV screen (we have a 50' Sony LCD projection HDTV), we can run it at 1280x1024 and still see it from the couch (about 10-15 feet away).
I've tried using it for the universal remote features and it doesn't really do that well. We have DirecTV and I really haven't found any universal remotes that do DirecTV well. (And I haven't spend the $70+ on the Harmony remote, so I don't know about that one.) So the IR blaster feature on our well-used keyboard really doesn't get used much.
The keyboard is RF so it works great in the many non-line of sight situations I have in my living room with the wife, a baby, and a 10-year old. [Get out of the way, kid!]
I really enjoy being able to sit out in the living room with the family while my wife reads and the kids play and then point out some cool website or video from the internet that they can see then go back to whatever they're doing.
We do not use it for games. I don't think the keyboard would really be good for games, but we just don't do computer games much. (That's what the XBOX and Wii are for!)
The 'o' key is very flaky. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It sounds like a common problem with this keyboard. It used to work great but after a while it's just having problems.
Pros:
* Easy to use on your lap from the couch
* Integrated mouse
* Wireless (obviously)
* Rechargeable with nice charging base (which sits under our TV and is only used for recharging)
* RF so it doesn't need to be pointing at the base
Cons:
* Mouse is slow and imprecise
* Keys get stiff and sometimes stop working
Beware of this keyboard !!.......2007-09-01
key problems occured in 1 month. (especially ctrl, windows key, alt key, and lots of regular keys) now its totaly gone. same problem with two of my friends , gone in 2~ months.
if you`re looking for a good wireless keyboard for your htPc, try Logitech DiNovo Edge /
Great keyboard for my HTPC.......2007-06-20
This is keyboard I always needed for my home theater pc. Its very easy to setup. Has tons of shortcuts and features besides being radio wireless. I can also control couple of my other devices using IR. Has inbuilt charging feature for a pair of AAA rechargeble batteries. So there is no constant battery changes. Charges last a long time when out of the base unit. Mouse is integrated in keyboard, so thats one less device to manage. In short a great wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I will recommend this to all my friends. This product is well worth its money.

Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound.......2007-09-07
After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.
The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.
If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DELL LAPTOPS.......2007-09-02
After several weeks of light, mid-volume use, the speaker stopped working on my Dell Latitude D500 and I began receiving error messages noting a "device malfunction". After trading emails with J-Lab customer service, I was instructed to return the speaker by mail (at my expense) for a refund. The refund I received was 80% of the original purchase price because, according to J-Lab, the device was still "working" upon receipt. The representative handling the return acknowledged that there has, in fact, been a history of compatibility issues with Dell laptops-- in other words, a "working" speaker may not always operate correctly when connected to a Dell laptop. Is trying this speaker on your Dell worth the risk of paying two sets of shipping charges, losing 20% of the purchase price, and spending time emailing representatives and repacking/mailing the device? If not, maybe it's worth considering alternatives.
Are we listening to the same speakers?.......2007-08-08
We bought this speaker for our Gateway M505 Media Laptop on a recent trip. The M505 has reasonable speakers for a laptop, but their volume level isn't quite strong enough for us to be happy--we'd always find ourselves straining to hear dialogue from movies.
From reading the reviews I honestly thought this would solve our problem in a nifty self-contained USB-powered fashion.
For us it didn't.
We found the speakers to be nearly identical to the M505 speakers, and while the B-Flex did give us the tiniest improvement in volume, it wasn't enough to really give us adequate volume, or the "big sound" many reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is no way a speaker the size of these can give the kind of frequency response any level of audiophile would be happy with.
So, who should try out this speaker? If you have standard tinny sounding laptop speakers (the almost nonexistent kind), these will be a big improvement. Also you will like the fact that it is USB powered so no batteries, no cords are needed.
However, having said that, I really think the bottom line is, to get truly better sound, you need to use a powered speaker. I think some of the JBL's may be the way to go.
For cost of these guys, unless you catch them on sale, my advice is to keep looking. We had to return ours. (Thanks to Amazon a really fair & generous return policy).
Definite improvement over stock, and extremely portable.......2007-07-08
My boyfriend bought me this speaker. It is plug-and-play. On my computer, often movies are not loud enough for some reason and with this speaker it's as loud as we could possibly want. Also I can blast my music throughout the house from my laptop - before I could not because it sounded horrible at high volumes.
I'm not much of a sound expert, but I think it sounds pretty good.

Average sound.......2007-03-22
Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.
It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.
Like it so much bought it for a friend........2007-03-08
I like the sound of mine so much I bought one fo my friend for his birthday. It's not super loud but you can listen to music from your mac, with good quality. Just plug it into your USB port. My friend loves his too. He uses his all the time. Great for travel.
Works perfectly........2007-01-30
Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.
Lots of power in a small package.......2007-01-19
I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.
Cool!.......2007-01-13
It was a gift to my daughter and she was thrilled! We were all amazed at
the "out of the box" design and think that the folks at JLab need to expand and create a whole lot of new "out of the box" stuff to make life
easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!

Belkin F8E837 USB keyboard - great!!!.......2007-04-22
Belkin's support group didn't know it but the hot-keys (or multimedia keys as some people call them) ARE programmable. They come pre-assigned, but you can specify ANY program or batch file to run when any of the keys are pressed, except the "sleep" key. Also, Belkin didn't mess around with the key placements, it's a TRULY standard keyboard: good space between the 6-key insert/delete/home/end/up/down group and the cursor keys. The cursor keys are in the standard inverted T shape. The Enter key is the standard rectangle and therefore no keys have had move to accomodate the bigger L-shaped Enter key found on some boards. The keys have a good solid feel, good pressure, slightly concave and normally sized and shaped. They are also pretty quiet. The rest of the physical arrangement is well done too (height, slope, width). I love it.
