“Using this successfully to (lazily!) control a media PC hidden behind the TV (an x86 based PC running Ubuntu).
We first had the small dongle attached to the PC, but scrolling on the touch pad seemed broken - almost every touch on the pad sent the page flying down, eventually bricking the browser on websites with endless pages. The fix was to connect the dongle via a USB extender and position it a little bit away from the PC - works flawlessly now, so presumably we had some EM interference somewhere.”
“I bought the Rii i8+ Mini Wireless Keyboard, supplied with usb dongle for portable operation paired with a Raspberry Pi. I think it represents good value, it is extremely compact and responsive. I adjusted the touch pad’s sensitivity to my preference easily via settings menu. For those who are used to touch typing on a full size keyboard, this will not compete. Set against this however,I would suggest it’s robust space saving design makes it an ideal travel companion especially for those used to the method of text messaging by phone. As usual Pi Hut provided excellent service and prompt delivery”
