Cardboard Computer For Kids With Real Keyboard

The computer is absolutely the best ever that my wife has had (and she's fickle). The ONLY problem with this computer is the keyboard is, well, not so great. HP needs to get back to real keyboards, not pieces of "after thought"

Best buy when you have kids home using your computer. You never know...

Sticks well, and great fund for kids to learn the keyboard.

Bought this Jewel case for a solar filter that simpally came in a small cardboard box, no real filter case. It's just right for my needs.

This came in fairly minimal packaging. All I had to do was open the cardboard box and pick it out. I plugged it in between my television and the computer and let it record the EDID, then I plugged it between the computer and the capture card. The Blackmagic capture card which had stymied so many of my attempts to capture a 1080p signal started working the way I wanted it to after inserting this EDID emulator into the chain. The rotary dial, by the way, was fairly resistant to accidental nudges. IT took a bit of effort to get the dial to change its position.

Bought this for my kids to learn to play piano. The feeling of the keys is very much like a real piano.

This is the second Zagg Case/Keyboard I have owned. It’s the only keyboard that I have found that allows me to type as I would on a full sized computer keyboard.

This IOGEAR GCS110-4 4-Port KVMP switch is my first purcahse of this type of gear...should have bought one years ago. I had checked out one of the other brands, but the manufacturer's web-site had the same photo and description for two models, very confusing. I am using this switch with three computer, Win7, Win8.1 and a Linux rig. I keep the fourth port open for testing other computers, no need to connect one being tested to a separate keyboard and mouse setup. This switch allows me to easily switch between computers via keyboard shortcuts. I have a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse which share a single wireless USB dongle, plugging the dongle into the keyboard USB port of the monitor area of the switch allows me to use the keyboard and mouse on all computers. I did have to uninstall the Logitech software which allowed for custom keyboard layout (volume up/down, next track, etc.) as it seemed to conflict with the way the KVMP switch emulated Keyboard and Mouse Control...not an issue for me in this case. I am not a hard-core gamer, thus do not have a mouse with 92 buttons on it..more of a FPS and Flight Sim guy here. I like the fact that I can switch the keyboard/mouse, Vidoe and USB separately from the audio, that is I can have music playing on one computer, switch the Keyboard/Mouse, Video, and USB to another computer and still hear the music from the first computer. I have all my external drives and printers connected directly to the Win7 computer working as a server for all my data. I have a USB hub connected to the KVMP input which is accessed by whichever computer I am using for such things as my web-cam, joystick, multimedia card reader, and ID CAC Card Reader. I started taking IT classes and now I can easily do remote access, learned how to access Windows Shared Folders from the Linux box...and more, having the computers side by side with one control system is a Godsend. I would recommend this switch to anyone considering such a purchase.

I use it to save everything on my computer and it works real fast and never freezes!

The Keyboard has a good springy feel, like old-school. Feels real.
