 This is a product I'm actually quite excited to have a look at. This is the VisionTech Candy Board. It's a wireless mini keyboard with a built-in touchpad. So one of the things that they're saying is so cool about this is that the fact that is the fact that the touchpad is capable of being used in both a horizontal or a vertical position and also that the quality of the touchpad is right up there with the ones that you'd find on a laptop versus some of the other kind of lame touchpad integrated keyboard units that just use a really low quality touchpad like it's basically as if it's not even really meant to be used. It has a built-in laser pointer so I guess you could use it for pointing at stuff. It has a USB connector with no drivers needed and it has a little compartment to store the USB dongle. There's a USB input for charging the unit and it works with Windows, PS3, Xbox 360, Mac and Linux. So basically everything you could want. I lost my unboxing knife when I accidentally tried to take my keychain onto the plane with me when I went to Markham and not really thinking about it before taking my keys I left my knife on the keys and obviously that got confiscated by airport security. Funnily enough not until the return ride so the Vancouver airport did not find the knife whereas the Toronto airport did. So that's the candy board. It is tiny like I have small hands and already it's like you can see it's like a palm palm sized keyboard. Okay let's just have a look at what accessories are included if any and then we'll move on from there. So we have a USB cable for charging the device. Then we have the user's manual. Turn off this device in the hospital. Attention to do not operate this device while driving. Okay that's good. These are good safety precautions they're giving us here. All right well here's a little uh map of the keyboard. Let's go ahead and take it out. So it's got the little laser caution on it. It's because it does have an included laser pointer. So that's the first thing I want to try. Let's flip the switch to on and then try the laser pointer. Ah it has a laser pointer. Okay so you can oh here here here's an idea. What's that? They love chasing the laser pointer. That's rocket. Here's rumble. Okay anyway I digress. The candy board then. So here's the touchpad. The touchpad is big enough to be comfortably used with the thumb and that's exactly the position that it's there for. Although with a finger you might get a little bit more range out of it because the thumb you see I can't actually move my thumb too much on it. And let's have a look at the keyboard itself. Actually I did want to talk about the layout of it. So here so here's the touchpad. There's the laser pointer. There's the direction keys. Okay so that's handy to have. And then there's a left mouse button, a right mouse button. So in case you want to operate the touchpad like this that would work quite well for you. So I guess the touchpad can also be used this way. Although I don't know if there's a toggle for that or if it just knows which way it's being used. Okay so function keys. Okay function alt is oh there's your start key. So if you hold function and press that one that's your start key. Here's your windows key. Wait what? Oh no this is the 90 degree flip. Aha there's the start key the windows key. Okay so that's how you flip the touchpad to operate it this way. Okay that's cool. Power switch here's your RF communication indicator as well as your battery indicator. And there's your shift or function not sure which one it is indicator. So you have a caps log key, tab, escape, shift. You've got basically a full keyboard on here. See how easily you can actually type on it. So if I was going to go to dot ncix.com I mean that's really what this is for. It's just like entering a web address for your media pc. Like you're not going to use it a ton. But I'd say that you know it's tough because this thumb very comfortably reaches all of the left hand keys. Whereas this thumb because of my smaller hands actually only probably reaches comfortably to about the k or even just the l. So if it was shorter you might be able to reach them all but then you'd be compromising because you wouldn't have the touchpad anymore. So the device is quite thin. Let's have a look at where the usb key wireless receiver is stored. It's quite large actually. Unexpectedly large but it's not bluetooth so I don't know if that matters. It's a 2.4 gigahertz wireless dongle. There it is. So we can put that back in. And then other than that I guess there's not too much else to say. There is the candy board from vision tech. One of the other cool things about it is it's quite a lot cheaper than most of the other touchpad keyboard combo units and it really does at the size of a remote because that's really the size that we're looking at here. At the size of a remote it has great functionality and the price is pretty reasonable. So I'd say it's pretty cool. Pretty cool indeed. Let's see if we can find a cat. Hey. Hey. And that laser pointer is a great little feature.
