Mini Bluetooth Keyboard Laughs at Its Ungainly Common Counterparts

Brando's Mini Bluetooth Keyboard

You know what keyboards are for, right? You probably use them all day long at work, and then at home, either for waxing poetical with some chat room princess, or for playing World of Warcraft, that fierce enemy of romantic relationships – real ones, at least.

But what would you be doing with a tiny keyboard, like this one from Brando? And by “tiny” I mean 140 x 70 x 12mm. Well, this kind of reduction in size brings advantages and disadvantages to the user. First of all, despite its size, it does have 83 keys, so it can do whatever its large counterparts can; even if one of your fingers might accidentally press two or more of the mini-keys at the same time. I guess this device is for people who tend to use more finesse in life (and probably play as Rogues in the aforementioned MMO).

The best thing about this mini-keyboard is that it's a Mini Bluetooth Keyboard. Which means you can connect it to Bluetooth, not only to your PC. Oh, and you can also plug it in your PlayStation 3. Now, that's something big ignoramus using keyboards never learned to do.

Another benefit of this device is that you can use it 15 meters away from the device it's connected to. Of course, if the latter comes with a smallish screen, it's not such a good idea, but still, it's refreshing not to be limited by the ridiculously short cable used by most keyboards.

A slight disadvantage of the Mini Bluetooth Keyboard (at least compared with its common relatives) is that you'll need two AAA batteries to power it. It's not really so bad, it's just something you might forget about, not being used to the concept of inserting batteries into keyboards. And, of course, with such a small size, it's no wonder it weighs only 66g. You should decide whether the $39 price is wonderful as well.
