    Wireless Keyboard Suggestions?

     
    Does anyone have any suggestions for wireless keyboards that have built in trackpads? I'm going to use it for one of those new APC Android boards coming out soon, and will be using it with a TV. My budget is around $50 max.

    You'll really only see a few options out there. I think logitech might have one or two, adesso has a couple and maybe some off brands. I've used this adesso wkb4000 but I didn't care for the location of the pad this adesso wkb4200 I liked a little more because it felt more natural using the pad off to the side but the adesso's have clunky keys and didn't feel as responsive as my other keyboards.

    I love Logitech so I'd checkout this Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400

    Thanks. I think I am leaning towards the Logitech, but I will ponder this. I have a while considering the computer I am getting it for isn't even out yet.

    Thanks for the help.

    I just realized something, those keyboards seem to need Windows as an OS. I will be using an Android OS found in the APC Android computer coming out soon. Would those work with Android or would I have to get a completely different keyboard than any of those?

    If anyone is not sure of what the computer is exactly, here is the website:

    I didn't think about that. I believe the Android build they are using would have support for most input devices. You might have to wait until it gets closer to release time to find out forsure.

    I did find another suggestion, these guys make really compact keyboards that work well for mini-pcs and they are bluetooth compatible and I know for a fact work with most smartphones now so it should work with whatever version of Android the APC supports. Untitled Document

    if you can't find that one, one of these Zippy BT-500s and a small mouse might workout better than just a keyboard and trackpad. These keyboards are tiny!

    It looks like at least that first Zippy one would work, because it said it could work with a smartphone, which means it probably will be compatible with any Android system.
    I also might ask APC about compatibility.

    Thanks
