IOGEAR Multimedia Keyboard w/ Laser Trackball and Scroll Wheel (GKM561R)

I have been using this Keyboard for a little more than a year now and I'm pretty happy with it. Normally, I'm using it as my main keyboard for my Desktop with a separate wireless mouse. When I hook up my Laptop to my TV, I simply just unplug the adapter and plug it into the laptop and use it to control the laptop from my sofa. The keys are not small like some keyboards. You can type just like a regular keyboard. It's like a regular keyboard BUT without the numerical keys on the right hand side. This makes it smaller than a regular keyboard. The scroll ball is far better than the touch pad on laptops. The left and right button for the mouse is on the left hand side (the scroll ball is on the right) so you don't have to switch your finger when you need to click. Clever design. The keyboard uses 2 AA battery and a on/off switch on the back.
