Very Cool, Very Satisfied!
by Matt S (4 out of 5 stars)

Bought this because it was simply one if the coolest things I had ever seen. It's blue tooth enabled so you can use it to text or write lengthy emails on your phone. It does work for your computer while connected via the included USB cable. I will say that it turns heads like no other when other people see it. The one time I brought it to work, I had quite a few people come up to me and ask what I was doing! The only reason why I gave this 4 stars is because the typing is pretty sensitive (even on the lowest sensitivity) and there definitely is a learning curve to using it. It takes practice. I would highly reccomend using this device in conjunction with SwiftKey from the Google play store. Its correction capabilities makes it possible for me to type as fast as I would on a normal keyboard with it.

To thoes reviewers complaining that the input is laggy, it is laggy UNTIL you update the firmware of the device at CTXtechnologies.Com. After the update, they keyboard becomes incredibly responsive and it even offers additional power saving options!

Awesome Product!

I am a perpetual iPhone typer. I take my iPhone everywhere with me - texting, writing back to emails, surfing the web. But I get thumb cramps trying to type on the tiny keyboard. So when I saw this product, I was so excited to try it out. Amazing so far! The module is much smaller than I envisioned, and stuck it easily in my purse with me. Went to lunch today at a cafe and was able to write back to so many emails. Keyboard is almost exactly like a full sized keyboard, so I didn't have to get used to different keystrokes or typing. I was afriad it might be akward typing on a table and might have to pound harder, but it was pretty sensitive to touch and is just like having a laptop keyboard front of me, without the bulky size. I had a few people at the cafe come up to me and ask me what I was doing. I let them try it out, too and everyone was really impressed. I've only had this for a few days, but it's been great. The only thing I would mention is the space bar is slightly a lighter color than the rest of the keyboard, but it might have been the angle I was at. Did not hinder typing at all. Really excited to recommend to all my friends. GREAT product!

3 stars for the idea of it...
by MKG (3 out of 5 stars)

The idea is better than the execution. We bought this for use with an iPad...while it looks pretty cool, it isn't very accurate or easy to use. You have to experiment with placement to get all of the keys to project properly, and even after careful placement, accuracy is not a given. You have to very slow and deliberate when typing on it.

Great product

My husband is very happy with this product - he takes it to work and hooks it up at his desk. He can also use this in a restaurant if needed, or coffee shop. The box is smaller than his cellphone, it is small and easy to carry. It did not take much effort to connect to Bluetooth and very little learning curve on how to type with it.

Really Disappointing
by Pilotgal (2 out of 5 stars)
January 19, 2015

I love the concept but the technology isn't there, yet. The keyboard is laggy and doesn't type accurately. I'm a very fast typist and it can't keep up with me. Other reviewers say they have updated the firmware and it's much better. I tried to update the firmware as instructed but the update application doesn't work. I tried contacting the company but no one answered. I requested update information from the company via Amazon (where I purchased it) but all they did was send me a return label. After a few hours of trying to get the firmware to update, I gave up and returned it. Too bad, because I really wanted it to be awesome.

I'm using it right now. The unit is even smaller than it appears in the pic. About the size of a matchbox

This is a fun addition for smartphone users. No delay with this Brookstone model as there are with other brands. Keeps up with my typing which can be pretty fast. Purchasing more of these for family gifts.

FUN Keyboard
by Ralph (5 out of 5 stars)

Had one before (not this brand) and loved it till I dropped it. Finally decided to replace it. This one is better than my first one! Does take a little getting use to using, but it works... as long as there is not a reflection or clear glass surface.

I love it! It does exactly what it says

I love it! It does exactly what it says. Understandably, it does have to be used on a hard surface. I don't know why anyone would expect it to work on your bed linen or sofa anyway. It is very nice.

I am very pleased with this purchase and intend to order another

The CTX Laser Projection Virtual Keyboard met all of my expectations. Right out of the box it performed exactly as advertised. I am very pleased with this purchase and intend to order another, this time in green, so I always have one handy when I travel. Order this with confidence of getting exactly what is advertised.
