Title: Nulaxy Bluetooth Adapter

A week or two ago, there was a post from the maker of this, asking if anyone wanted to review it, and I said I would, so here is my review of it.


Packaging:
Comes in a very nice and sturdy black, trapezoid shaped box, with a glossy embossed logo on top:

Opening:
Very nice, one of my favorite boxes I have ever opened, very nice colors, and effort was put into the box, and it isn't just a cardboard box.

What's Included?:
The Nulaxy bluetooth adapter, a microusb cable, and the instructions are the only things included, which are the only things you will need.

The Device:
This is what it looks like, it has 2 usb ports, 1 microusb port, a status LED for the bluetooth pairing, and an on and off switch.

So, my review:


I had my doubts about it, seeing the sale price of it, and how it was priced compared to competitors. This is actually an amazingly easy device to use, and there is a security feature implemented so others can't connect to it, and all it is, is a passcode that you enter on the keyboard after it is plugged into the Nulaxy, and then it is connected. The looks of it are nice in my opinion, and it won't look odd or out of place. The top silver part of it is higher quality plastic than the rest though, and it is also thicker. This is high quality enough though that I would have no problem throwing it in my backpack (which has all my binders and a keyboard in it), and it would be safe. I would recommend this if you are looking for a bluetooth solution, and with the price of it, it is justifiable. Here is a video of me pairing it to my phone, and typing on it. Sorry for the awkwardness of the talking, I didn't plan out what I was going to say.

I couldn't tell you, as I sold my HHKB, but I think it would except for the USB hub.

Hate to bump an older thread, but anyone tried this on an IBM M?  I just checked the Amazon reviews, but no real information in there. :(

Yeah, I'm also curious about this, I think it might work better with the Unicomp USB ones, but I'm definitely not sure.

I've asked a specific question on Amazon, but no answer yet.

Thank you!  I found that thread, but no one had an answer for the M for that product either. :(

I don't know.  I wanted to know if this adapter worked with an IBM M.
