 "Excellent pc keyboard with trackpad" 2010-01-06
By David Cole
I have bought approximately 1 billion tech products; this is my first review. The Logitech Mediaboard was a wonderful product. Too bad it was discontinued so quickly. I use mine for many hours each day (writing this, for example). It is light weight, holds up well, good battery life, and above all it is VERY convenient to have trackpad and keyboard in lap, in bed, on couch - wherever. I normally use it about 6-8 feet from the computer. (A mouse is a pain to use away from a desk - i.e. in any comfortable place.) I like this better than its successor, the current black "Mediaboard Pro". Latter is heavier, a fingerprint magnet, and has periodic bluetooth blues - lags. I have not seen a comparable keyboard/trackpad combo for PCs - only the much more expensive DiNovo line. My regret is that I only bought 2 of these when they were clearance at local 24-hour big box store.

 "NOT a PS3 Keyboard. A cheap piece of plastic." 2010-01-03
By Jake Ifraimov
Not what I expected.



It works, and feels beyond cheap, I think keyboards in the dollar store feel a little better. This is not a PS3 Keyboard, this can be used on PC as well.



Buy it if you don't really care and just want a keyboard. Don't buy it if you want a good one.

By D. W. Pohlman (ohio)
Keyboard works awesome on Playstation 3, mousepad is awesome. No lag at all, it just works like it's supposed too. The keyboard also works on the Nintendo Wii, but the mousepad does not.

 "Go this route instead of Bluetooth" 2009-09-13
By Shiznickels
I love this keyboard and swap it off from my laptop to my PS3 with ease, there is another version (the black one) that is bluetooth. Dont get it, you wont be able to use it with anything other than the PS3 easily.

 "Perfect for HTPC" 2009-07-22
By Matt S. (Fresno, CA USA)
I was so glad to find the RF version of this keyboard versus the more expensive bluetooth version. I built a small HTPC connected to my tv in the living room and there was no way i could deal with cables, also I needed a built in mouse of some sort because where can you have a proper mouse surface while sitting on the couch? I've owned this for about 2 months now, and have absolutely nothing but good to say about it. It works with everything: PC, Wii, 360 (apparently ps3 too, but i don't have one of those).



The on/off switch above the track pad is convenient for saving batteries, and only takes about half a second to sync up once you turn it on. The track pad is responsive and accurate, i cannot recall any jumping at all.



The slim form factor of this keyboard makes it very lightweight and extremely comfortable to set on my lap and type away, with no wrist pain at all.



I'm guessing because of it's light weight, a couple of drops, kicks or step ons would probably do it in pretty quickly, but just take care of your toys and i foresee no problems.



I put in a couple of generic costco AA batteries when i got it, and they've been running strong with no sign of wear after 2 months. And that even includes the half a dozen times i've left it on all night by accident.



If i have to find something critical to say, it would be #1, that there's no windows button, but i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to map it. and #2, of course with any track pad, bigger would always be better, but honestly, i've got fat fingers and its been extremely easy to use.



In summary, this is an all around fantastic keyboard and i'm completely happy with my purchase.

By Richard Allen (NOLA)

This does have a cord it's not cordless. It's also not as useful as I thought it would be.

 "Playstation 3 USB Keyboard" 2009-04-28
By Gary (Johnson City, TN)
the key board is nice for PS Home for chating "or fighting with those every so many pricks" it is the size of a reg key board very smooth typing its better than the one im using right now on my pc to right this lol the only down side to this key board is that it has a wire it would be alot better if it was wireless but hey what can i say i only paid $12 for mine and it is way worth it

 "Useful for Basic Text Chat" 2009-04-15
By Alfonso P. Posadas Jr. (Green Valley, CA United States)
Well what can I say beyond the fact that this particular model of keyboard is useful in basic text chat upon the Playstation 3 and its Playstation Network? Though it's a bit bulky considering that one is transitioning from the six axis / dualshock 3 controller to a PC worthy keyboard and something to get used to, but once it is done, one will be glad that you no longer have to use the time consuming controller-based text board.

 "Really just a plain ol' keyboard" 2008-11-23
By J. Anoc
Pros:

-Durable

-Long cord (8 feet)

-You know it will work with your PS3

-Price



Cons:

-Plain design (but at least it's black)

-An included palm rest would have been nice

-No included instructions on what keys do what (check out the PS3 manual at the official PlayStation website for some internet browser keyboard shortcuts [Support->Manuals->PS3->System Software User's Guide])



Notes:

-You will still need to use a PS3 controller to use certain functions, as far as I can tell

-This might be obvious, but you can also use a USB mouse with PS3

-Now that I have a keyboard, I've been able to install and mess with Linux on my PS3. Try it, it's fun (but also frustrating).

 "DO NOT BUY THIS!" 2010-01-10
By B. Phillips (Atlanta, GA)
This is a great design for a gaming keyboard; however, the drivers are horrible. If you are running any windows or Linux system, do not buy this keyboard. The drivers are so awful that you will end up with a very expensive standard keyboard without the promised gaming functions. In addition to the lousy drivers, the steelseries company [...] that now owns this product offers lousy to nonexistent support. I am ashamed of Amazon for still selling this product on its website. A class action lawsuit website is all you should see when you search for this item. Please do not waste you money as I did on this.

 "Absolute Garbage" 2009-10-30
By M. Kirichenko (Brooklyn, NY)
There are many things wrong with this keyboard, in the first that it's a novel concept, and was directed to be a 'keyboard' marketed towards gamers. I fell for the advertising and spent the first few hours messing with the various configurations and being in awe of the keymapping, but in the end you are still left with a very sub-par product - a rubber dome based keyboard, with folding gimmick top half.



It would constantly disconnect from the computer, the drivers had to be reinstalled for it to respond again, it didn't exactly 'work' during bootup other, which forced me to fetch an older keyboard and use that to install Windows..



Overall a very shoddy product. If you want a solid gaming keyboard for your money that won't die on you every 15 minutes after two days of ownership, strongly consider a Das Keyboard. It's what I'm writing this review on right now, and I've owned it for more than a year, a long time after I've thrown away the worthless Zboard as well.

my father in law loves this keyboard. he got the WoW adapter keyboard for it too and really enjoys it. highly recommended for the avid gamer.

 "Great gaming keyboard" 2009-03-13
By Brett (Michigan United States)
I have been using this keyboard for years and love it. I use to avoid first person shooter games because I just couldn't get use to the WASD movement. My fingers would always slip off the keys and I would end up hitting the other keys and end up blowing myself up with a grenade ore something. That all changed when I found the Zboard. I love the butterfly pad on the left hand side that is set up perfectly for ease of movement and improved access to other important keys. The butterfly keys are large and slightly angled to keep your fingers in the proper position. This set up also works great for MMORPGs and man other games that allow WASD movement. The right hand two thirds of the board is a standard keyboard that you can use for typing. The gaming keyboard does not have a num-pad. Some thing had to go to make room for the butterfly pad. Also, there is no ~ key. I guess they ran out of room and figured that was the least used key. Quite a few games do use that key. They should have kept that and got rid of the Ins key. Who uses that? None of that is a real issue. If you need the total functionality of a full keyboard, you just have to swap out the gaming keyboard with the standard keyboard and you are good to go. It only takes 15-20 seconds to do.



One thing to note is that the keyboard requires that the drivers be installed. The keyboard will not function properly without them. Also, the keys are programmable through the software that comes with the board, but there is really no point in that. It is far easier to program the keys within the game itself.



The one premise that this keyboard was built around was the ability to swap out the keyboard with different key sets designed for specific functions. They have key sets that are specific to certain games and applications. In my opinion, you don't need any key sets other than what comes in this package. Every popular game that comes out gets a key set. Most are just the basic key set with with some artwork and keys labeled for specific functions. I really don't find it practical. The FPS ones are not bad, because they are designs are functional but, in most cases, once you set up things the way you like it on the default gaming board, you don't really need to have a specialty board. Most FPS games are set up pretty much the same way. I did get the DOOM 3 one packaged with the game. It did offer a slightly better setup specific to the game, but I could have easily w got by without it.



That said, the additional key sets they create for the MMORPGs seem completely worthless to me. Movement in those types of games are now more like the FPS games. I'm sure that there are still a lot of people in those games that use the arrow keys for movement instead of the WASD, but that is because they lack a better option. The butterfly pad is the perfect solution, but they don't design those boards that way. They basically give you a standard keyboard setup with colorful graphic of the game, and keys labeled for specific function, but it leave movement on the right hand side arrow keys. Movement on the right hand side is impractical. That is the mouse side. People have to reach across their body to use it. People use it that way on standard keyboards because they have to, but you would think that a keyboard designed for gaming would give the a better option. They are not even enhanced butterfly type keys, just the standard arrow keys. I don't understand this design at all and I find them completely useless. I use the standard gaming board that comes in this set for all my gaming.



They also make the MERC gaming keyboard, which I also own. In some ways it is designed a little better for gaming, but unfortunately some design flaws on that keyboard sent me back to my Zboard.

 "Never got it to work" 2009-02-12

Ideazon Zboard Gaming Keyboard

Do not try to register this product; the site doesn't exist. Don't go to their forums; the forums don't exist. Good luck in getting live support ... it doesn't exist.



This item is supposed to support media players (vs 6.4+). I never got mine to work (media player 11). Their troubleshooting tells you to uninstall and reinstall the program. If that doesn't work, then download it from the Internet, and uninstall the program and reinstall it from the file you downloaded. When I did this, the file I downloaded was deleted during the uninstall.



I spent over 3 hours installing and uninstalling, climbing behind my desk to plug and unplug the keyboard. I decided to check how the hot keys were set up to see if I could/should make the changes there. They don't include a paper manual, and when you click the hot key set up, it doesn't take you anywhere, just keeps displaying the same page. The information provided in there help menu is so thin, and doesn't explain how to do anything, that they shouldn't have wasted their time creating what little they had.



Went to their website. 15-20 minutes to try and find the how to get help. Submitted ticket for live support ... nothing happened. Finally returned it to Amazon. Don't waste your money, much less your time.
