I have the 2.4GHz version of the 335. I can tell you why I agree with you and prefer the mini-wing design: 1. The laser pointer is extremely fragile, and I broke mine (by dropping the keyboard) within the first week of usage. 2. The power button is now gone, after dropping the keyboard a few times (hey, it happens when you have a 4 yr old in the house!), so I can't shut it off anymore. 3. The Bluetooth wireless is more hassle than it's worth, because PAIRING. A 2.4GHz dongle plugs and plays, no PAIRING required. I've used the 335's sibling to get into my home servers when I couldn't/too lazy to find a proper USB keyboard. Had my 335 been a Bluetooth keyboard, I woulda been out of luck, because my servers run NAS4Free. Thanks for the awesomesauce video. Keep em comin!

[@jacobematt6222]

>last longer than TTL videos lol, zing

[@BionicSammich]

I like Tom, and his lack of fucks.

[@thegreenbean5891]

I think you mean Ding lol.

[@Omnilatent]

BionicSammich I don't think anyone dislikes Tom. It's just that he is famous for doing those very long videos (at least 30 min)

[@vxrNiGHTMaRE]

haha. ttl is awesome

[@OC3D]

I doubt it could last that long..... (thats what she said)

[@harveysewdin]

I like the Mini Wing a bit more. Nice review Kyle!

[@NeonCreepers]

I like this. I like reviews on these kind of products.

[@tpcs8667]

lol. I LOVED that " poke" of fun at Tinytomlogan's long as videos.

[@anthonya115]

this video blows me away. Even though you have a fraction of the views of the bigger tech guys, you put far more effort and information and depth into these videos. Definitely going to be watching this channel more often

[@CrimsonSunBear]

Thought I had my classic music still playing, you got taste Kyle

[@danielsprouse9549]

'"Also let me know if you have a different mini keyboard in mind that you'd like me to check out in the future. Buu..." - 10:49

[@ferry0077]

i bought a cheap rf mini keyboard from china, it works... it does lose connection sometime so i have to turn it on and off, i was looking for a new one (after 3 years i'm done with this cheap thing) thanks for sharing your vision on this

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

those keyboards are really cool, never knew that keyboards like this existed

[@Musewhisperer]

Holy crap, that was thorough. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I expect from an review. *Subscribed* Too bad they don't make these with different keyboard models. I would have bought one of these a long time ago.

[@sheldonherbert8116]

Lmao at the tiny Tom logan joke!

[@McKantisMayhem]

I just finished building my HTPC, and was trying to find a less clunky alternative to my full size keyboard. I never even thought of candy boards! ^^

[@jakemeyer6047]

very in depth. nice job. Although i cannot part with my K400

[@TobiasWilmoth]

The 335 does have it's pros, but in the end the Mini Wing is the exact keyboard I would buy when it would come to whatever uses I have for it. The layout is perfect since that touchpad is in the middle. Alongside of HTPC usage, I think this would be great for temporarily checking and updating my NAS. Why do I always find stuff when I have little to no money..

[@Shoggy56]

I prefer the design of the old keyboard with the touchpad in the middle

[@SullenSecret]

Another option is the mobile app, Unified Remote. I can use it to connect my Android devices to my computer and control it with ease. It offers a wide variety of options for controlling the PC and its programs with the convenience of a touch screen that customizes for each use.

[@balancenoptions1322]

I actually have both keyboards and I my self like the mini wing as well for the same reason the typing on it is much better

[@SuperWolfkin]

That was a well done review. Thanks.

[@vincent6845]

Looks solid

[@mobertlawl]

Medal of the year forrrrrr...... NOT SAYING FIRST Second XD

[@Bitwit]

Moethedirt i approve of this medal.

[@Bitwit]

Moethedirt i do not approve of your second.

[@Blenzo480]

i wonder if it will run off of 5 volts.

[@Mr-moo]

Sounded like you said you can plug it in via USB and use it that way without Bluetooth? Is that true? If so i think this is the handy little gadget I've been looking for.

[@Dxolv]

Awesome video!

[@Punisher9419]

It's nearly a £100 in the UK.

[@tysonr2103]

Thoughts on the visiontek 900507 with the IR connectivity to use with your TV as well?

[@MooTaters]

Vote mini wing, my tablet splits the keyboard with SwiftKey and it's great.

[@TheManicGeek]

Dat mini wing tho. I have a keyboard with a similar layout to the 335, only it lacks the touch pad; I have to AIM the damn thing at the screen to move the mouse. Suffice it to say, I no longer use it for fear that I may get so pissed off at it that it would wind up up becoming a permanent fixture int he center of my TV screen. That being combined with the no-space-between-the-keys thing is just intolerable, so that Mini Wing is prolly gonna end up in my living room at some point.

[@Klefth]

Meh. An attachable mini keyboard for my Dualshock 4 is all I need if I want a remote of sorts for my PC. It's got a multitouch pad, I can attach one of those keyboards to it, and through some amazing drivers every button is rebindable, and you can create macros and profiles that can be programmed to switch automatically depending on the application you're using, so you could, for instance, make a media player mode profile and have media keys on your buttons, then as you finish your movie and close the player it goes to a profile better suited for controlling windows, with start or a games folder or whatever bound to a button and, say, one of the sticks for scrolling, and then as you launch a game, boom, it goes back to it's normal gamepad profile and now it's an Xinput compatible controller; It's pretty darn handy. I think Sony unintentionally created the best PC gamepad/remote ever. There just needs to be a better quality keyboard for it (an official one perhaps, Sony **wink-wink***nudge-nudge**?) and... well, a better battery, because the DS4's battery is garbage. Also, enabling audio passthrough on PC would be pretty swell... come on, Sony, get to it, why don't ya?

[@JoshHendrix92]

What teleprompter app do you use?

[@ddonnach]

thought about doing an air mouse/trackpad shootout or just review an air mouse?

[@bsntadinfo2480]

you should check out some of the small Logitech keyboards

[@itsdeonlol]

Imagine using this keyboard for gaming!

[@pulsingpython2652]

Why is Bach's Brandenburg Concerto in G playing in the background? :)

[@zehzahl5988]

+Louis Mayes The soothing music is designed to help counter his non-stop, needs-to-take-a-breath, doesn't-understand-speech-rhythm chatter... all so you don't wanna blow your brains out. After about eight or nine minutes, I was exhausted and couldn't listen to the reviewer talk anymore.

[@fcouperin]

Bach in the background, most classy! (the fifth Brandenburg concerto? hmm...)

[@TDPEquinox]

Woot!

[@yorinson]

As I can write the "ñ" key uppercase and lowercase with this keyboard?

[@tedguy2743]

can somebody please tell me what is the outro song ?

[@BeerBellyDK]

This was an interesting video. Would you consider doing something similar on mice that are good for HTPC use (mice that can be used both with, and without a surface for tracking)? The, granted, aging Logitech MX Air, and the Asus VivoMouse comes to mind. :-) There may be other suitable mice out there that i dont know of. I just prefer having the keyboard seperate from the mouse on my HTPC, i cant really deal with small buttons for typing, so something like a Rapoo e9070 ultraslim keyboard, with a dedicated HTPC mouse seems like a much better option for me. :-)

[@bigrustbeach22rustbeach60]

First thing Love your videos!! And so do my kids. With the Corona Virus I am building them 2 computers at home todo school work on and game some. So they are learning a tone from your videos. But the point of my commenting is maybe this is a video todo a reboot on? We have watched you and several other build in the new small computer cases and I was that is great for next to the TV but how do you control the things other then having a full size keyboard or mouse on a coffee table and we don’t have a coffee table or end tables in our home. So I started googling things. I had to google your channel name and mini keyboards to even get it to show and I watch your channel none stop. But I think with the new small form factor computers coming back out maybe this would be worth refreshing the content?? I don’t know just an idea. Have a great day and stay healthy!!!

[@0x1EGEN]

I'd rather get the 900335 only because of the material it was made with. I hate rubber tactile keys. I'd prefer one that uses plastic keys instead.

[@mattk1544]

could i use a Bluetooth dongle and a Bluetooth keyboard on the xbox one???

[@Iron-Arms]

Mini Wing 2.0 pls !

[@slikric2234]

I sent VisionTek a message if they are going to make a mini wing with Bluetooth and they said they will try to make one since this video got a lot of response :)

[@santhoshk8890]

DONT THEY PUT LITTLE mech keys IN THERE

[@darthenx2585]

I prefer the new one just because of the Bluetooth

[@gutserker]

would love if the Mini Wing was bluetooth.

[@highvoltage12v]

I was able to pair the keyboard on the backside of my Samsung remote to my HTPC via Bluetooth.

[@minecraftace123]

Removable battery, something Tim Cook has never heard of.

[@gameselectronicsrus3909]

this is now 9$ on amazon!!!

[@mynameisjeff9174]

Those are both too tiny for my big ass hands. I use the Logitech k410 living room keyboard for my htpc.

[@420BulletSponge]

Dammit Kyle, I swore off buying anymore keyboards and now you post this. Gaben and my wallet are displeased.

[@Long-do1vj]

They should just have a ball thing and 2 click buttons instead of a giant mouse pad to split the keyboard

[@iosef3337]

Why not just put the touchpad and some buttons in the back?

[@Person.aMedia]

Mini Wing defo seemed better

[@vgamesx1]

I feel like I should ask, why a mini keyboard? I do think they're kind of neat but.. I'm sure most of us here have a phone right, so why not just use an app such as unified remote to control your htpc or whatever else? obviously the biggest advantage is that it has physical keys, but otherwise its kind of... free (provided you already own a device) vs $20+ keyboard that does the same thing.

[@RandyRandersonthefamous]

vgamesx1 Which is easier, ps3 controller for gameboy emulation or a touchscreen? Typing on a touchscreen across the room is a bitch

[@franknielsen6620]

You forget that if you have a family a dedicated "remote" is better than one that walks out the door with you or is low power at least 1 time a day. But yes if your the only user its a fine solution with a app.

[@Gari.Hughes]

Frank Nielsen even if ya havnt got a family, my missus aint gonna fck about with a phone app!! if it aint easy to use, she aint gonna use it! no disrespect to her, but she just aint gadget minded

[@vgamesx1]

Randy Randerson The video was about mini keyboards, it had absolutely nothing to do with controllers.... it'd be just as much of a bitch trying to play games on one of those. Frank Nielsen Yeah that's a fair point, though for us that actually isn't an issue, we basically all have our own TV, after years of replacing the old one and giving that one to someone else, none of us ever have to share a screen.

[@RandyRandersonthefamous]

vgamesx1 You missed the point, touchscreens are shit for controlling things vs physical buttons

[@Valgrind850]

hey i have one of those!

[@TheQuestDesigns]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEH!

[@xaynasr]

Game on it haha

[@JungleG1337]

I have that new one. It is terrible. The range drop off at 8ft.

[@HotChocolateTheFirst]

IRRR... AWESOME CHANNEL THO

[@user-gw9zb7nq6g]

goot

[@e.quasselbude]

The intro is from LA-Check Germany.

[@MrMiggoz]

That battery looks like an old Nokia Battery.

[@ariip]

Plain and simple the only one even worth considering is the one with the touchpad in the middle so it does not interfere with either hand reaching the keyboard on that side. Why any keyboards put the touchpad on the side is completely idiotic and shows a lack of thought. However neither of these keyboards like most of them, have proper keyboard layout. Real Keyboards do not have keys in straight vertical rows which places keys in a wrong orientation to each other. Why they can not place the keys properly is another good question and shows no thought either.

[@ginofoogle6944]

i agree with the touchpad in the center thingy.. but as far as ergonomics goes you can't really expect them to orientate the keys in such a way that it looks like a full size keyboard without compromising space.. it needs to be as small as possible otherwise it defeats it's purpose..

[@tpcs8667]

Jesus..I"m only about half way done with this video and already it is AWESOME! Well. FUCKING...DONE... Kyle. This was TRULY Awesome...Sauce. Thumbs up number 126..coming up.

[@MrTVintro]

FYI, these are just chinese rebrands, if you go on DX or banggood you can find them for cheaper.

[@anonymous3399]

>LASTS LONGER THAN TTL VIDEOS

[@OC3D]

thats what she said

[@rustynugget2288]

can i win a CS:GO tournament with this?

[@Gari.Hughes]

this worry about using up a usb port??? just use a usb hub....

[@Liemciemdk89]

why so serious?

[@truckertech9272]

lost me at the price. Logitech K400 for the win!

[@DarkMetalSkies]

the 9 something is so fucking unconfortable. if you try to type with it, your left thumb has to stretch so much.

[@dogma6253]

로스트건즈 소리네..

[@michaelweiss2186]

Interesting that Paul and you have similar glasses, are you two having some strange affair? Does the future X Wife know about this, Austin Evans is next? Half life 3 confirmed. JK Kyle, love the show.

[@juelpereira9404]

Nnnnnnnnnnnnice

[@e.quasselbude]

UND ICH BIN DEUTSCHER.

[@wunhunglo2880]
