Lenovo Multimedia Remote w/Keyboard - 57Y6336

I bought one of these last month when Lenovo had them for $30. I completely forgot about it until UPS showed up at my door yesterday. Good thing I was home as Lenovo requires a signature. So far, it's only been a day, I've been pretty impressed with little doo-hickey. I've been using it with my HTPC, which sits about 10 ft away. No connection issues at all. My HTPC runs Linux. The media buttons work no problem. While you wouldn't want to do any heavy typing on it, it's certainly good enough for light duty stuff like email or forum posts. I'm making this post on it. A few downsides would be the buttons are clicky, which I don't like, but I can live with. There's no good way to scroll on it. You got page up and down on it, but those aren't always precise. My spacebar doesn't always register when pressed. I'm not sure if it's a design flaw or mine's broken.

I missed out on that sale! This would've been the perfect solution for my current TV setup. A full-size keyboard just doesn't fit well in our living room. If you ever think about selling it, let me know.

Not a chance. In hindsight I wish I would have bought two as I'm building a second HTPC, which I think it would work well with.
