Sunbeam Tech Pro-Series Keyboard
The keyboard is a little smaller than my Microsoft
Natural keyboard. It looks like it is made of two different pieces
of plastic. One piece is the keyboard which sits in a frame. The
frame is what lifts the keyboard off a surface on an angle; thus,
making it more ergonomic. The basic key set in clear plastic.

What makes it really different is all the special
black buttons at the top of keyboard. On the left side is a large
black button with a squiggly symbol. Pressing this allows the F-Series
of keys to perform special functions for navigating programs like
office programs or E-mail. An LED on the right side of the keyboard
lights up when this button is pressed.

Functions include: Help, New Document, Open, Save,
Replace, Spell, Undo, Redo, Reply, Reply All, Forward and Send.
Underneath the extra function key buttons are mark,
copy, paste and cut buttons, plus a scroll wheel. The scroll wheel
is handy for you don't have to reach for the mouse when reading
through a web page. The scroll wheel glows blue when the keyboard
is on.

The Pro-Series illuminated keyboard's first set of
the black shortcut keys on the upper left part of the keyboard are
for Office and other commonly use applications. The buttons include:
Word, Excel, Power Point, Calendar, Computer and Calculator.
The next set of buttons in the middle of the of the
keyboard handle Internet functions. These buttons are E for Internet
Explorer, E-Mail, Web Search, Refresh, Back, Forward, Favorites
and Stop. The E button loads the default web browser like Firefox,
if IE is not your default browser; likewise with the E-mail. I could
not get any of the web browsing buttons to work with Firefox. They
all worked with IE.

The next set of buttons on the Pro-Series illuminated
keyboard are for multimedia buttons. They worked great with Windows
Media player, but not Winamp.

The final three buttons provide a way to put the computer
to sleep, log off the computer, or turn the power off.
There are two last buttons under the arrow keys. These
two keys manage windows. They will close a window or toggle, one
by one, through all open windows.

To keep the keyboard off the desk, the bottom has
two tabs, one on each corner. There is also a battery compartment
on the back. It has no use. In fact, it has no metal leads to extract
current from the battery. My only guess is that Sunbeam is using
this same design for a wireless keyboard.
