Pros:

Charges your phone and lets you text from a keyboard with the click of a button. Reasonably priced. Looks great.
Well made; replaces keyboard, iPhone dock, mouse and trackpad; use for computer or iPhone and switch with one button; use without a computer when plugged into USB adapter; looks cool and geeks will love it

Cons:

Terrible key placement. The Space bar is tiny. No app software included. Keys feel mushy. Fingers can catch the underside of keys. Fn keys don’t do the right things.
Does not ship with a trackpad app; keys take some adjustment if you use a Mac keyboard

For the last few months my MacBook Air has been my main computer. It works quite well for me and, thanks to the large solid-state drive and the ability to connect it to a larger monitor, it serves as a desktop computing platform quite well. When I...

Summing up, Wow-Keys is a bit of a gimmick. But I found it useful, particularly when I had lots of text to enter into the iPhone or when I wanted to use a trackpad with my desktop machine. It’s not exactly a full-sized keyboard, but it’s...
