Logitech MediaBoard Pro on PC (7.5/10)
I've had a week to play with the MediaBoard Pro on my PC. I had no problems connecting to the DL120 Bluetooth adapter in my media PC. It wouldn't connect to my laptop at first, but it worked fine after I upgraded my laptop's Widcomm Bluetooth software to 5.x.
Pros:
Less than $60
Looks good
Solid on/off switch
No charger needed
Trackpad has a good feel
My kids found it easy to use
Cons
Wimpy key spring action.
Trackpad moves slowly
I'm not used to trackpads. I wish I could figure out how to set the resolution of this trackpad. It takes me three swipes to get from one edge of my 1920x1080 TV screen to the other. This annoyed me at first (why didn't I get a trackball?), but I'm getting used to it.
I'm sure the Logitech DiNovo Edge would have had a MUCH better key spring action, but it would have cost a lot more. Before I upgrade to a DiNovo, I want to see how I use this setup.
Overall verdict --> I'm satisfied with the MediaBoard Pro. 7.5/10
