Introduction
The Koribo Mini is a relatively new product from the up and coming peripherals manufacturer, Koribo. This, believe it or not, is Tech-Reviews first review of a wireless keyboard so we were very excited to check out what the Koribo Mini had in store for us. Koribo states on its website that the Mini is the perfect keyboard and mouse that fits right in your hand and it also has an amazing operating range of 10m/30ft, no matter where the receiver is placed. Let’s find out whether Koribo’s claims are true.
About Koribo
“At Koribo, we believe that the computer is a key entertainment component. Today’s computers entertain us in our home and office, when we go on vacations, and even when we’re on the road. The problem is that you can’t use an office computer and input devices in your living room or in your bedroom. If you can’t understand why, we bet your spouse, friends or family will tell you.
