Sony VAIO Wireless Keyboard Kit - keyboard , mouse, touchpad ( VGP-WKB1 )





Whoa, guys and gals, fantastic opportunity to get this keyboard 1 day old from me, at a killer price of $110! I'll pay Fedex Ground to you and email you the tracking number.

What's this all about then? Here's what happened: I have adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) in my shoulder, so I bought this keyboard new on the Internet from a store that .. wait for it .. doesn't take Sony returns! WTF? Wish I'd known that before I bought it. I wanted it so that I could stop using a separate mouse and use the built-in mouse. Unfortunately, the mouse is a little too much over to the left on the keyboard for my damaged shoulder to accommodate, so I have to let it go. It is brand new, I opened the box today.
Email me at web.magician@gmail.com if you're interested.

I got some opinions of it off the Internet for you:

Quote:
Opinion 1: Great range, no interference issues with WiFi or bluetooth, uses built-in XP SP2 drivers (PC doesn't need to be a "Vaio," despite Sony's product descriptions), seamless plug-n-play, keyboard has a great, solid feel

Opinion 2: The design is great. 1. Touchpad integrated into the light keyboard is perfect for media centers; use your mouse from anywhere because it is wireless. Is nice to control web browsing from the couch. 2.Keyboard Palm Rest folds to cover the keys to prevent them from being covered with dust. This is a good feature of older VAIO keyboards and I am glad to see it has been re-instated as part of the design. 3. Mouse very comfortable and stylish. 4. USB Receiver unobtrusive and stylish.
Folded up:

It's 15.5 inches x 10 inches when in use (smaller when folded up).

Uses 2.4Gz digital transmission. Has no effect on my wireless router's communications to the 3 laptops in my house.

Sorry, I do not use eBay so I cannot help you there. Retail prices range from $111 risky retailer, no shipping) to $180.

One thing I can assure you, this item was brand new when received. Packaging was undisturbed, seals intact. I wish Ii could keep it, it's a great quality item. My god-damned shoulder hurts if I move my hand just a little either way from straight though ...
