Some of the first Indiegogo backers

Some of the first Indiegogo backers will also receive a mini wireless keyboard in the box. To my surprise, it was actually usable. It uses a wireless USB receiver for input.Don’t conflate usable and great, but if you want a wireless option to serve as a remote for an HTPC, this isn’t the worst. The keys definitely ape old BlackBerry phones in their shape. The layout is a bit confusing to start. For instance, there is only a shift key on the left and control is only on the right. Tab is next to the space bar, which is too short because of a “.com” button next to it. If you’re not doing a lot of actual writing on this, it’s passable.You control the mouse by using an accelerometer in the keyboard. It’s the Wii remote of mini PC keyboards. It works well enough, though if you hit the border of the screen, you may need to recenter yourself. It also shuts down fairly often to preserve battery life, so you will have to press buttons to wake it back up if you haven’t switched it off.The accelerometer does make it feel cheap, though, and sometimes, when moving it, we could feel some parts moving around inside.Perhaps the hardest part was clicking. There are left and right click buttons in the top-right corner of the keyboard. But when I clicked, I tended to also slightly lower the corner of the mouse due to the force, which made double clicking difficult, as the mouse would be in the wrong place.The keyboard charges over microUSB, and after charging it once, we haven’t had to charge it again since.
