Rocketfish Wireless Multimedia Bluetooth Keyboard and Laser Mouse

I’d heard my brother brag and boast on the Rocketfish combo he’d purchased for his boss enough to know when I had a chance to get my paws on one of my own, I’d jump at the chance!

What can I say? Some women like shoes, some like handbags, I like gadgets!

From the point of view of a mother of four teens, I have to admit the one thing I do like most is the Bluetooth capabilities. As a self diagnosed OCD multitasker, the Bluetooth capabilities gives me the ability to stretch my multitasking to it’s extreme limits. I’ve been able to transfer data around like I’m Superwoman! And people wonder how I can get so much done in so little time. It’s with gadgets like this, seriously!

Bluetooth adapter is included.

Next, I have to admit I love the fact that it’s wireless. Being the clean and organized freak that I am, I was thrilled to be able to say GOOD bye to those hideous wires.

Both the keyboard and mouse are sleek, slim and pleasing to the eye. With options like this, you can say goodbye to all the bulky digital eyesores for good.

Rocketfish offers up to 60′ range - letting you get up and move around and not be confined to one location ever again.

While it may take a while to learn all the functions of all the keys, I will tell you there are 104 keys and 10 one-touch multimedia keys that allows you to master multitasking between work, web surfing and controlling your digital media.

Laser mouse features 4-way scrolling, 4 multimedia keys and ergonomic rubber side supports for comfort and easy, yet quality functionality.

Rocketfish Wireless Multimedia Bluetooth Keyboard and Laser Mouse are PC Compatible.

Many reviews I’ve read on the topic of wireless keyboards and mouse have complained of delays. I haven’t noticed any delays at all, which is a major perk. Delays for me result in chucking products, software or servers to the curb. If you’re as busy as I am, you just don’t have time for delays!

I know there are many who read my blog who aren’t quite as computer savvy as they’d like to be and allow that to intimidate them. The instructions are a bit difficult, so if you do take the plunge and go wireless, you might want to call in your three-year-old to hook it up for you - just after they hook up that DVD player we wrote about recently.

Seriously though, once this gadget is hooked up and you lay the first finger on it, you’re bound to fall in love.

It’s kind of like getting all the kids out of the house and trading in the minivan for a two seated sports car.

The only other downside I’ve found associated with the Rocketfish is the fact that it takes batteries. It would be nice to have rechargable batteries close by or even a mouse recharger that could be purchased to accessorize the complete package. But that really is minor in the overall scheme of things.
