| Doesn't have the extra keys for the mac, like disk eject, volume, the command key, etc. This is a bit annoying (command would have been great.) What it does have is kid appeal. Computers already have kid appeal, I understand, which is why I've waited so long to get one of these. But if you have a child unwilling or unable to write using a standard keyboard for whatever reason this combination of large keys and letters, bright colors, and reduced symbols might be what you need to get the ball rolling. It worked for us. Just don't buy it to replace a normal keyboard, because it doesn't have everything. Looks exactly like the picture.
The mouse is constantly flashing different colors which may be annoying to some in which case you could use your normal mouse. Keep in mind there is no USB port on the keyboard itself to attach a mouse so any mouse needs to be plugged into the back of the computer, PC style. All in all I was happy to find something at this price and it is reasonably good looking for a kiddy keyboard.
| | BIG KEYS FOR LITTLE FINGERS :D |
| This is a wonderful,colorful keyboard for a 4 year old to use to get used to their letters, numbers and colors. I hook it up to my laptop and my great-niece has a ball and my laptop stays safe. She is learning to use the mouse as well which the laptop has a touch pad and it makes it difficult for her little fingers. I haven't had a problem with it and I highly recommend it.
| | Great for special needs kids! |
| I bought this for my 7 year old with Dyslexia when he started cyberschooling. It made a huge difference for him! It was so much easier to find the keys and allowed him to be more successful on his own. I highly recommend this for any child learning to use the computer!
| | Very simple keyboard, perfect for kids. It works like a charm. Keyboard seems strong.
The mouse does NOT show the problems reported by other customers (i.e. leaking water)...
Few critics:
- The USB cable that connects the mouse is very thin... for a kid product I would have used a stronger one (I expect it to be the first thing to break).
- Having a USB hub on the keyboard would have been nice, not a big deal though...
- Most of software for kids requires only one mouse button. Three mouse buttons are useless and create confusion on a kid. IMHO a single mouse button would have make it a better product.
| | Good Looking But Useless... |
| I am trying to type on it right now and keep hitting the wrong keys so for that useless. Yes for looks it is great, but why teach your kids how to use a keyboard that is not like 90% of the other ones out there, my son 6 year old that he is told me to get a keyboard that was in the right order. He has been using a computer since he was 3, playing learning games so he knows what he is talking about. I recommend that Crayola try again and make it the right way same colors because this thing is beautiful to look at and a welcome change from Gray, Black, White and Tan right???
Sincerely,
Danielle
