Motion-sensitive mini-keyboard - Cideko Air Keyboard

The design of Cideko Air Keyboard is more like a mobile phone than a keyboard. The product is aimed primarily at those who have a HTPC and do not want a full-size keyboard on the TV table.
The advantage of having a real PC connected to your TV in the living room are many. Besides that one can play any movie format and audio format at all, there can be, for example, also chat and play games in front of the TV with the help of computers.
One problem is that a full-size keyboard and a mouse, even if they are wireless, rarely is especially nice on the TV table and also takes plenty of room.

Cidekos small keyboard

Cideko Air Keyboard is a keyboard whose size is slightly larger and thicker than a smartphone, and it is doing much better along with the other remotes in front of the TV than a standard keyboard with mouse had done. The buttons on the keyboard are made of rubber and is reminiscent of the minimal qwerty keyboard that today's smartphones are equipped with telephones.
In addition to letters and numbers, there is also buttons to access the media features of Windows. On the underside of Cideko Air Keyboard are four small rubber feet that allow it do not risk scratching the TV table. On the front of the keyboard are also two large buttons that you can left-and right-click.

Operate the entire box

And that's exactly how it has solved the feature to control the mouse distinctive feature of this keyboard. The entire keyboard is used namely to control the mouse and it does so by turning the keyboard into the air. At first, this is a more than unusual way to control the mouse on and it's tricky.
After a while of usage can be really good, although it is advisable to set the sensitivity of the mouse settings. Of course, this is not a mouse control that is especially appropriate if, for example, will devote itself to expose an image in Photoshop - but for simpler tasks, it is a really smart and innovative solution.
The scope of Cideko Air Keyboard mentioned according to the manufacturer for 50 yards. In my test, I managed to get the keyboard to work without difficulty from any room in the apartment, so it's probably figures that may be true. The interconnection with the computer through a USB stick that is also smart placed in a small compartment on the underside of Cideko Air Keyboard.
