The HTPC keyboard is supplied in quite a small box which is pretty flimsy in construction. The keyboard is well protected inside, though, as it is suspended within a vacuum-formed plastic tray which should protect it from the knocks and bumps of negligent couriers.
Despite feeling a little poor quality, the packaging is quite attractive aesthetically, carrying a simple but effective orange and white colour scheme. The front of the box features a large image of the keyboard contained within whilst turning the box over reveals a list of features and specifications alongside another small product image.
Inside the box we find a limited selection of bundled items which consists of a very concise installation guide, a minute RF receiver and a pair of AAA batteries. Unlike the larger iTouchpad Diamond that we reviewed a while back, the HTPC keyboard doesn't feature rechargeable batteries so these must be replaced when they run out.
It certainly does look like a console gamepad. Logitech make a nice version of this, but it looks smaller and is piano black.
I bought one of these a month ago and its ok, but as the reviewer said I wouldnt try typing much on it, as the keys are very small. its fine for light web browsing and renaming media folders.
Only problem ive experienced is that the signal sometimes loses connection for a few moments, im not sure if its due to my wireless router being close by and interfering with the signal.
Did you have the problem henry?
