Great
This product does everything I need it to do.
Highly recommended.
nearly there
This looked the perfect gizmo to complete my home theater project as it combines a keyboard, mouse and remote all into one snazzy but tiny package. But it doesn't matter how much of a wow factor it offers when all to often the bluetooth connection fails so you can't get the computer to start or control it. Other annoying problems with this admittedly beautiful product include the hinge pinches your fingers (it hurts!), only three programmable keys, the vital mouse/remote selection switch need a thumbnail to operate and in remote mode the circular pad often refuses to recognise downwards. (see logitech Forums). For me these issues are simply to much for such an expensive product. Verdict: wait for version 2.
Check One Out In Person
First, the demographics for this device are the typical teenager or college student. Sure, it looks cool and is about the size of your hand, but its size is not necessarily an advantage. It is easily charged and set up with a convenient CD package and a blue tooth USB stick.
You can text, play and watch TV/Movies from a distance (up to 30 feet), but that's if you have perfect vision. I did like the way the media-center instantly pops up and the mouse scroll is easy to work. If I want to text or write an Email, I found the keyboard to be just too small and the set-up is slightly different than a typical keyboard. If you are good at text messaging on a phone, you won't have a problem here. You can change the keyboard to be a `directional pad' or a `touch pad', which is kind of convenient.
As far as viewing anything on your television or in your stereo, you would need a direct cable connection from your PC to your entertainment center. Most people now have a mini-stereo system on their PC or a HTPC anyway. The battery life is plenty long enough and I just keep mine plugged in constantly. Like most Logitech items, the look is sleek and handsome, although the smoked plastic cover could easily be broken or cracked. I see this as a fun toy for teens or people in college or early twenties. Its interesting to see that so many modern items are getting smaller and smaller while the `boomers' group is getting older with less nimble fingers and poorer eyesight. I would inspect one in person before buying.
