CTFWIKE-2 Wireless RF-keyboard with Trackball (10m range) [UK-Layout] *Compact* SPECIAL |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I tried to get a HTPC keyboard with US/UK layout in Germany. Unfortunately that's not easy. Finally I bought a CTFWIKE-2 from cartft.com and a Keysonic KSK-3200 RF from another dealer. Size and number of keys of the two keyboards is about the same. But the position of the mouse buttons of CTFWIKE-2 force you to hold the keyboard with both hands. It's nearly impossible to press the mouse keys together with ALT or CTLS metakeys. That's very bad. The overall mechanical construction of CTFWIKE-2 appears very poor compared to KSK-3200. Three of so called multimedia keys at the left side hardly react at all if depressed. Fortunately I don't need them. The trackball works OK. Sometimes the CTFWIKE-2 is not seen at all after booting Linux. This could be an kernel or BIOS issue also. In all points above the KSK-3200 RF is clearly the better choice for me. Regrettably this keyboard is not available from cartft.com. |
