Description
CA: ncix.com US: us.ncix.com This is a gamepad version of the Cideko Conqueror that I looked at a while back. The idea is still very similar, but with a couple of key upgrades!
The video opens with Linus presenting the Cideko Air Keyboard Conqueror, a combined air mouse and keyboard designed for PC and PS3, and compares it to the earlier Air Keyboard model. He points out key differences, including multisystem compatibility, a built in dual analog gamepad layout, and the presence of PC specific mappings alongside PlayStation style inputs. Linus examines the build quality, noting rubberized grips on the sides, a textured top surface, and a rearranged left and right click arrangement that many users may find more intuitive. He walks through the hardware specs, highlighting the 2.4 GHz wireless connection, a built in rechargeable battery with USB charging, and claimed operation times exceeding 20 hours with a 3 to 4 hour recharge window. Throughout the unboxing, he demonstrates the device in use on a couch, showing how the air mouse can be pointed at a TV to navigate a laptop-like desktop at distances around 12 to 15 feet, while still enabling full keyboard input when needed. Linus also discusses the layout differences from the prior model, noting the inclusion of function keys and a Windows key, and he evaluates ergonomic considerations like the contoured grip and the balance between typing on the keyboard and using the built in gamepad controls. He finishes by testing the battery insertion process, the blue power indicator, and the included USB dongle while promising to report back on long term reliability and performance, inviting viewers to subscribe for future unboxings and reviews.
