Sony VGP-BKB1

 

Top quality piece of kit. Fit the batteries, turn it on and it pairs instantly with the PS3. The keys give excellent feedback when pressed, no mushy feel at all. Great design and excellent battery duration.

Quite expensive which lowers the value for money score slightly. But you're buying a great product and it feels like it will last forever.

Disconnects are Old Bluetooth Driver Problem

 

I had the same complaints as others when I first received this keyboard. Search with 'bluetooth AND broadcom AND update' and select 'Download' page for the HUGE updated driver which supports ALL modern devices - keyboards, mice/trackballs, speakers,...

Well designed

None with latest Bluetooth Driver

Works with iPad

 

A co-worker bought this, not realizing it was bluetooth. Rather than return it, I glommed on to it... Works great for my iPad.

Same low profile keys as my other keyboards

DON'T BUY

 

I have had this blue tooth keyboard for over a year and love the way it works WHEN IT WORKS, It disconnects all by itself and I must go through the entire procedure of pairing it again. It used to happen once in a while but now that the warrantee is up...

Keyborad

 

I would normally say your wrong about Sony, and defend them but with this product i can not. The keyboard works intermittently, and disconnects several times a day.

Very nice design

Doesn't work proficiently

Not Recommended

 

I do not recommend buying this keyboard. I got it because I love the feel of sony keyboards, so I got it to use with a new Dell Vostro 3500 running Windows 7

Design, Light Weight, Ergonomics

Didn't work, No Support Page

The worst product I own from Sony

 

I tried using this keyboard with 2 different computers (one with built-in bluetooth dongle and second PC with external USB dongle) and this keybord keeps disconnecting, doesn't wake up from sleep mode, and worst of all hangs and repeats random keys. In...
