| stoafer's Full Review: Microsoft Internet Pro + Intellimouse (C58-00024) ... |
First off I have to say that this is keyboard did not come with a mouse but I felt I had to write something about it anyway!
With that out of the way I will go on!
I had been playing a game for a while and had Winamp going in the background and a song I like, but didn't feel like listening to came on. I was really getting annoyed with it and I couldn't do anything but wait for the next song.
I had remembered than and their that a friend of mine had the MS Internet Keyboard Pro with the media shortcuts!
It didn't take long for me to go out and buy this 60-dollar keyboard but it was well worth the money.
You can plug the keyboard into a USB or regular serial port if you'd like.
After installing the software (which is a real breeze) you can just go straight to your normal computer desires.
The keys are easy to punch, it feels really nice to use, and looks really good as well.
The only short cut keys I feel that are worthy to use are the following: Volume, play/pause, stop, Prev track, Next track, My computer, and Calculator.
The only reason I use calculator is because you can change that key to anything else you'd like.
Example: I changed the Calculator shortcut key to instead open Winamp. The My Computer shortcut is My Download folder.
You can do this with almost any shortcut key as well.
It's really quite amazing to use the media keys in a game and be able to pause, skip the track or stop your music at anytime during the game you want.
It's a nice keyboard and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Anyone who gets it will appreciate it for all it's worth. Which is about 60 dollars.
