The G-Cube comes with two pairs of rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries, a USB battery charger, and the actual keyboard and mouse.

let’s look at the other features of this keyboard. It does have some shortcut keys across the top that provide quick access to common web browsing features – back and forward, refresh, home, search, and email. There’s also a power button.

I do like that the keyboard’s key labels use a cutesy handwriting-style font. It adds some flair to the board, which I can certainly appreciate. On the other hand, the layout is so-so. In order to keep the board compact, the right shift key was moved to the left of the up arrow. While this is a better design than putting that shift key to the right of the up arrow, it’s still an annoyance. I prefer a standard layout on my keyboards – I think it would have been better to make the arrow keys smaller so that the shift key could be in the standard position on the board.
