Use
The E9080 performed well during daily use. Remember that all input devices are largely subjective. Something that feels good to one person may not to another. While we liked this keyboard, you may not.
The functionality of the touchpad/number pad is done very well. A quick swipe of the slide area and the pad changes. The touchpad is fairly responsive, but if you are used to twitch gaming, this won't be for you. It gets the job done for daily use scenarios, and does it well. The multi-touch is good and the keyboard works well. This is a very innovative product and we're happy to see things like this being tried in the market.
Video Review
Conclusion
The Rapoo Wireless Touchpad Keyboard E9080 retails for about $70 and is one of those unique products that screams "try me out." You rarely see new ideas being tried, and the combination of a touchpad and number pad brings a great twist on an otherwise commonplace type of product. Now you don't need to sacrifice the number pad for the touchpad because of limited space.
The design and build quality are excellent. The keyboard uses its stainless steel back to give a feeling of solidity. More product manufacturers should take note of this: if you can slip some good quality material in your product without sacrificing practicality, you should do so. It makes the product that much better and Rapoo did an excellent job. We recommend this product, but as with any input device you should try before you buy. See their Facebook page or company website.
ASE Publishing would like to thank Rapoo for making this review possible.
