Targus Compact USB Keyboard Review and Giveaway

Targus Compact USB Keyboard Need a light compact keyboard that you can take with you on the road or to fit on that small desktop space?

Check out the Targus Compact USB Keyboard (AKB05)!

The beauty about this keyboard is that despite being compact, it comes with standard-sized keys so you get the feel of a standard keyboard. However it’s missing the numeric keypad which isn’t a big loss if you’re using it more for wordpressing and sysadmin work.

Other features I liked on the Targus Compact USB Keyboard were the built-in Internet and email hot keys which makes quick access to these most daily-used functions. The USB interface offers hot swap and plug and play functionality for ease of use and deployment.

Features of the Targus Compact USB Keyboard

Built-in hot keys: Pre-programmed Internet and email hot keys enhance productivity
Transportable: Lightweight and compact for maximum portability
Plug and Play: Provides seamless desktop replacement for notebook PC users
Languages: AKB05 is available in English, German, French, Italian, and Dutch layouts

Nice review.
Looks really professional and has the added bonus of portability!

Great that it maintains full size keys, while still providing a lightweight, portable keyboard!

Very impressive…love your tweets, and appreciate great reviews like this, brother…

I guess I love how it’s designed for portability. We’d still have to get a USB converter for our mobile device though. I mean, if you already have a laptop, I don’t see a reason to use this keyboard

What I like most from the product is it’s unique capabilities and it’s portability. It’s lightweight and thet’s what makes it special.

It’s a great looking and very practical keyboard, especially with the short cut keys and to make it even better it’s compact enough to be truly portable. Great!

From the looks of this keyboard, I much prefer the OnBoard Travel Keyboard from Atek, which has separate numeric keys, a protective cover, and a neat way of storing the wrap-around USB cord.

I am always looking for ways to create a minimalist desktop (physical). The compactness of this keyboard looks like it fits the bill whilst still being totally functional with key positions etc.

i love the transpotability of it also but i think the language feature is awesome in our multi cultural society
