False and misleading - totally dissatisifed.......2007-09-22
The item was not arriving after 3 weeks. Contacted the seller asking what was happening with it and received a refund without further contact.
This seemed to be a bargain(that is to say 5 for the price of 1) and is indeed too good to be true - I really should have known better.
This is the second time that Amazon has let me down regarding misleading/false advertising. They need to review their quality control system badly and drop sellers like these.
I'd give it 0 stars and even a minus review if it were possible to do so.
Extrememly disatisfied with product and Amazon.......2007-04-02
Purchased product based on "pack of 5" description. It was not a pack of five, just one (1) OEM box with no software. Could not get them to send me the other four. No help whatsoever
Ergonomic Keyboard.......2006-07-11
Keyboard takes getting used to. If you hop to other machines with a regular keyboard, you need to adjust back to using a regular keyboard.
I believe it has minimized the pain that was starting in my wrist (reason for trying keyboard).
The only problem that I had was with order. The description said (pack of 5) but only received one keyboard in a huge box. Upon research I received numerous reponses from Amazon on what "pack of 5" was; including this item was one keyboard with five USB components (totally did not make sense to me). I was expecting to received five keyboards. When they finally confirmed the order, there were no keyboards left so I was refunded for four keyboards. Resolving the order shortage took a lot of my time. Amazon said that they would check on what "pack of 5" meant and call me back but I ended up having to call them when I did not receive a reply. Credit for items not shipped was received timely.

Great typing keyboard, but...........2006-01-19
Pros: It's the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used, and I've been typing extensively for decades. If you've never used this type of keyboard before, it will take a little time, like a week or two to get used to the placement of keyes, but I'm sure you will be enjoying it more and more every day. Soft tactile response is exceptionally pleasant. The zoom slider would be excellent, if it always worked as intended (see below).
Cons: I bought this keyboard to be sure it's compatible with my new 64-bit system. My reasoning was, if the 64-bit Windows are created by Microsoft and this keyboard is designed by Microsoft, the two must fit each other perfectly. Well, this is not exactly the case.
Apparently Microsoft was too busy to design a native 64-bit driver for their keyboards. The driver that comes with this keyboard works with both the 32 and 64-bit Windows, but functionality in the 64- bit OS is limited. You can type fine and most function keys work as intended, but you can not use the volume up/down function even with the Microsot Media Player in the 64-bit Windows, as it won't work. Also the zoom slider works fine in the MS Word and most IE browsing situations, but does not work with the 64-bit Mozilla (Deer Park version) and even in IE sometimes starts acting strange (such as suddenly becoming a scroll wheel, instead of a zoom). I guess, Microsoft shouldn't complain that many software and hardware companies ignore the 64-bit version of Windows, as they themselves keep "forgetting" about it.
Another small drawback is that the "Enter" key is a bit too small for comfort. But I got used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore.
My conclusion: This is a fantastic keyboard for anyone who types a lot. It lliterally makes typing a joy. Let's hope its functionality in Windows XP Pro x64 OS will be upgraded with a new native 64-bit driver in the near future.

Still In Progress..........2007-09-16
Yes, the P5 out of the box has its shortcommings. It is eratic on all 6 degrees of freedom and not very usefull with games or any software for that matter. I have honestly never got the thumb bend sensor to work. The thumb sensor wouldn't be all that usefull anyways due to the fact that the thumb is 3d and not 2d so you would need 2 bend sensors. Oh, the finger sensors are not based on fiber optics but a technique that detects deformation of a metal strip. The "0,0,0" position is the center of the base station. The FPS, ie update rate, of the glove is only around 15-30 FPS...but look at what they have in the "high tech" labs. There rates are down around 5-7 FPS back when the P5 came out.
GOOD NEWS!!!
The P5 drivers have been open sourced. Not usefull for the average user but there are people out there, like myself, that are making changes to the code. Simply download the latest driver from the group shown below and replace the existing and your good to go.
These changes add filters to the 6 degrees of freedom to prevent the jitters. The changes also prevent the random mouse movement when outside the "mouse pad." There is also a program called Programmable Input Emulator (P.I.E.) that allows you to map movements to actions. This allows you to bind your pointer finger to the key that fires your gun... PIE allows you to bind almost any periferal to any other. ie, Link the up arrow to scroll the mouse up. Macros are also handled...wave your hand and have a complex move be performed automaticaly. Also in PIE is Voice to Action and Text to Speech.
This and more info is available free at the yahoo group "P5GLOVE".
The P5 might not be sold in stores anymore but it is far from dead.
...Oh, Don't buy a Nostromo N50...get a Nostromo N52...much better for games ;)
Temp review.......2006-11-13
I haven't gotten this yet, I just ordered it this morning, so I'll edit this if I have to. I did some research on this item. Most of the reviewers here that are negative are mostly using this item for FPS GAMES. What appears to me, is, that this isn't JUST for games, but for other things, like, 3d modelling, music creation, animation, etc. I'll be using it for all these once I get my hands on it ( literally, lol ). Of course I'm going to try it for games as well.
The other thing about the reviewer that said something about that it's slow to respond interactions...Perhaps maybe its your modem? 56k perhaps?
An ok peripheral.......2006-02-16
I bought this with doubts, and they proved to be well founded. While not an unpleasant experience it was difficult to get this to work right. It came with Hitman so I wasn't to mad.
Interesting gimmick, but difficult to use.......2005-09-10
When I bought this, I made a deal with myself: I know that since it went off the market, it can't be an incredible product, so if I buy it, I shouldn't blame myself if I spent $20 on something I may never use again. Making this deal was worth it.
The glove is an interesting device. It fits your hand very well and everything is pretty well thought-out (finger movements, certain clicking combinations, etc.) The problem is in the execution. You need to keep your hand within a certain distance from the receiver, or the signal gets messy and the mouse pointer on the screen starts going nuts. Think of it as a mouse pad in the air. You move off the mouse pad, and the signal becomes erratic. Problem is, with the real mousepad, you can see its boundaries. With this "invisible pad", you can't, and find yourself straying off to the sides or top or bottom quite a lot. I suppose with a lot more practice, I could become as proficient at it as I am with the mouse, but since I've had many years of practice with the mouse... I'll stick to that, and use the glove if I feel wacky.
Conclusion: Its original going price of over $100 was ridiculous. For $20, it's a fun little toy that you may be able to make use of. Or maybe not. Just don't expect to be able to do magic with it right out of the box.
A Great thing for young gamers!!!.......2004-03-02
