Thumb Keyboard
KB178RT
THE KB178RT ADVANTAGE
• The Perfect Size: Integrating your PC with your home theater is an awesome way to improve
your multimedia experience. However, keyboards designed for desktop use is not very ideal for
HTPC use due to it’s size and lack of range. The AZiO KB178RT is designed specifically for this
purpose, measuring in at only 6.85x3.43x0.75 Inches (L x W x H). This small-form-factor size
allows for easy storage and can be operated similarly to a remote control instead of a keyboard.
• Easy to Type: The purpose of a keyboard is to input data to the PC. Unfortunately, for most
HTPC keyboards, they are either too small to touch-type or too big to thumb-type. The KB178RT
is designed to be the perfect sized keyboard for thumb-typing. ,
• Easy to Navigate: Trackpads are often hard to use in HTPC settings due to the large-screen
nature of modern HDTVs. On a large screen, navigating from one edge to the other will require
several swipes of your finger if the sensitivity isn’t high enough. However, if the sensitivity is too
high, its accuracy will be greatly reduced. It’s a no-win situation. The KB178RT avoids these
issues by integrating an optical trackball, making it much easier to navigate.
• Rechargeable Batteries: One of the biggest drawbacks of using a wireless keyboard is that
wireless keyboards requires batteries and batteries does not last forever. It’s happened to us all,
your batteries runs out of juice and you do not have replacements... With KB178RT, this situation
can be avoided. Periodically, connect it to your HTPC’s USB port and it will automatically charge
the batteries. Alternatively, you can always insert standard Alkaline AAA batteries.
