Also, its a year on. Have you or anyone else used this on desktop and able to attest to its bluetooth latency / responsiveness? For general typing, and for pairing? I just bought a bluetooth wireless mechanical keyboard (non-split) that has an auto-sleep feature, and it suffers from a little lag when waking up and reconnecting.
Hi! Your desktop photo has what appears to be a wired keyboard, with wires that disappear from view, and what appears to be a cable plugged into USB. So figuratively speaking, it doesn't close the loop that this is indeed a wireless bluetooth setup. What am I missing here?
When switching to bluetooth mode, from the PC's perspective does the keyboard behave as disconnected? As if you had physically unplugged the keyboard? Or is the keyboard device present on the PC regardless of the mode?
Also, is the physical button the only way to switch between modes or does the device also support detection of a hotkey shortcut on the keyboard itself to trigger mode switch?
Well, the good news is: it connected flawlessly with no recognition problems or the like. The bad news: with my Das Kayboard it can't even keep up with my middling typing speeds and, worse, seems to drop keystrokes occasionally...
OSX. To be fair, I've had problems with every method of connecting my USB keyboard to my mac except directly with the Apple dongle. Same with the Logitech universal USB thingamajig.
I provided some help to Handheld Scientific regarding the UHK mouse mode issue. Hopefully, they'll improve their firmware and make it work. Would like to recommend their adapter, but the lack of UHK mouse mode support on their part makes me a bit hesitant.
Thanks for the review. I had been looking at this very device a couple of weeks ago for use with my Kinesis Gaming keyboard.
I am very jealous of the UHK, but I have found the Kinesis Gaming to have excellent macros, which I can program via text files, and a very good build quality. Additionally, I don't think my work place would have paid the extra $100 and deal with international purchase.

The setup in the photo is me using the keyboard as a wired keyboard with my desktop, but able to switch it to typing on my iPad via Bluetooth.

This would interest me too.

This is JUST what I've been needing in my life!

Connected to which platform? I haven't seen an issue connected to my iPad, but haven't tested as extensively on my Mac.
