I live around DC and I am able to get about 30 channels on here. However only about 10 will usually work perfectly. It does work indoors and I use it indoors. It might work better if you are not living downtown and can keep the Antenna somewhere outside so it gets a better reception. If you have an xbox one, I would highly recommend you to get the Hauppauge - Digital USB TV Tuner for Xbox One. This will connect and work with this Antenna and you will be able to get a TV guide in the xbox and use voice commands to change channels. Excellent combo.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a great mouse as far its usage is concerned but there are certain things that I wish Logitech hadn't changed from their older version of the mouse.
1) This device only works via usb charging. Don't get me wrong, it can easily go a month without charging if you only use it an hr or so each day and it can be used while you are charging. However, the charging port is in a weird location which causes the mouse to not sit perfectly flat while charging. And there is no battery slot for the off chance that you forgot your usb charging cable. So if the battery is dead and you don't have the cable, you are out of luck.
2) There is no slot to save the usb receiver. They have made the usb receiver extremely slim and thin so you never have to remove it from your laptop but if you wish to travel with your mouse and without the laptop, there is no slot to save the usb receiver. You will have to dump it in somewhere else and hope you don't lose it while traveling.
Excellent new feature of the mouse though is that you have the option of having this single mouse connected to 3 different USB receivers and switching between then with the use of a switch underneath the mouse.

I was able to connect this to my indoor satellite and then connect it to my xbox one. Now my xbox one provides me with the tv guide and I can voice control my channels. Excellent product and a must have for any xbox user with a satellite.

The laptop is great but I felt it was a bit bulky. It also got quite hot on normal usage. The battery life was only about an hr and even less if you are a hardcore gamer. Its best if this is going to simply sit in one location but if you are going to do that, for the same price you can get a much better PC

Its a great product but if you have a car that's less than 2 years old, most of the features in it can be found in your car. However if you have an older car and you have a Nest system, I would highly recommend this. They can communicate with each other and Nest will set up your house for you when you drive home.

The laptop is AMAZING in every aspect except one...the spacebar. This is an issue with EVERY single MSI stealth laptop because its an issue in the core hardware of the laptop itself. So even if you exchange, its going to be a problem. I contacted MSI about this and they said even if they attempt to repair my NEWLY PURCHASED laptop, they will charge me for it. The spacebar's sensors are placed too close to the center and as a result of that, if you hit it on either the left or right 26% of the key, it doesn't register. This means that only the center 50% of the key works. This is a major issue because the spacebar is the the MOST used key in a day to day life. Just because of that I decided to return this laptop and go with alienware. Other wise it is an excellent laptop in EVERY possible sense.

The keyboard is extremely light and just the perfect tool if you want to control your device while relaxing on your couch. The battery can be charged even by internal light. It even has a simple indicator of when the batter is good or not. Function key capabilities just like a traditional keyboard, numpad on the right and works with logitech unifying receiver. This means that you can connect your mouse and keyboard with the same usb receiver from logitech.

Excellent Battery life, a little bulky but that's expected from a gaming laptop. I tested out 4 laptops before I narrowed down on this one. Amazing video quality, excellent speed, totally quiet, and almost minimal heat on normal usage. The keyboard backlight along with various other lights are fully customizable. There are 5 macro keys on the left and a 6th key which switches it between 3 groups of macro keys. This actually means that there are a totally of 15 macro settings that can be set. It is a 15 inch laptop so it doesn't have a number keypad on the right but that is not an issue at all.
Overall, just an AMAZING Laptop for any purpose

Good for gaming?

I am interested in this keyboard for travel, but would like to know if it has a good enough response time for gaming.

Thanks in advance~!
It is a great keyboard and very light. It can be used for gaming. I don't see any issues with it. It does lack macro keys if you are a hardcore gamer and looking for those. I would recommend something more along the lines of the ones below

Does it have dedicated volume keys, or keys that can be used for volume?

It doesn't have a "dedicated" volume buttons but you can adjust the volume with it using function + F9, F10 and F11 for decrease, increase and mute respectively

Does it handle a wireless mouse?

I have a Logitech wireless mouse M/N M-RAU95 P/N 831776-0000 from the Logitech EX110 wireless keyboard mouse set. Will this mouse work with the receiver that comes with this solar powered wireless keyboard?

Thanks.
I have a logitech MX mouse and I am able to use both my keyboard and mouse with the same receiver. In order for the device to work it would need to have the unifying symbol which looks like a star inside a square box. I have attached an image I found online of what I am talking about. If you want to use a single usb receiver for multiple devices, they will need to have this symbol which is usually there now in pretty much any new logitech device. Unfortunately, it looks like your model may not be compatible. You will have to use 2 receivers. The software for the unifying receiver can be downloaded from here: http://support.logitech.com/en_us/software/unifying
