Pros
small, rechargable, nano reciever

Cons
range isn't great

Summary
got it to go with my cousins htpc. does what it does well enough. bigger relocatable reciever would probably help, but it works none the less.

Pros
Nice remote control size, cool concept.

Cons
Only works at very shot range, USB receiver has to be on front panel of HTPC otherwise does not communicate without interference, device on/off switch broke last week (stuck "on"), quit working after 1 month.

Summary
Stopped working after 1 month of use. Started out promising - I accepted the poor range issues and thought I could live with it. Spent more time being irritated with it than anything else (i.e. turning up the volume using the function button and it would stick and crank the volume all the up, waking up my daughter). The thing stopped working tonight. Totally disappointed with this thing.

Pros
Excellent functionality, if you can do it with a keyboard you can do it with this.

Cons
Range isn't great. Don't expect to use it from across a room. Sweet spot seems to be about 10-12 feet.

Summary
Purchased as the main interface device for an HTPC. Works well but the touchpad is a tad unresponsive.

Pros
small
good features
re-chargable

Cons
latency
range
connecting

Summary
I bought this so I could use my desktop from my sofa. It works perfectly for me and I am really happy with it. However there are a few things that REALLY bother me about this product. First is that I need to remove it from my "bluetooth devices" and re-add it every time i want to use it. I haven't found a way for it to be recognized by my computer without doing this. another thing is that at some ranges it can get quite "jumpy" and there can be some latency. but at about 3-4m it has worked great for me. I am pleased with this product but these inconveniences might be a deal breaker for some.

Pros
Small, usually works great, laser point to play with your cat

Cons
Has trouble re-establishing connection after the computer wakes up from sleep sometimes.

Summary
Great little thing, pretty much same as the dinovo mini but much cheaper. Really likes having no obstruction between it and the receiver.

Pros
Small size. Long battery life. illuminated. wireless.

Cons
none

Summary
Had just completed a new HTPC and was wondering what I was going to do for a remote. This was perfect!! It works great. I bought two of them. This device is just unbelievable. full key board and touch pad in something the size of a TV remote control.

Pros
its a small keyboard and mouse combo, a little smaller than the ps3 bluray remote. the touchpad is great the keys are perfect have a small click when you press it to know that you pressed it, the range is crazy like super crazy id say close to 50 feet!

Cons
other than you won't be typing like a mad man unless you are a texting addict none.

Summary
bout it for my home theater pc because a wireless keyboard and mouse setup takes up to much room on my coffee table. i love it it looks good amongst all the other remotes i have and its a great conversation starter. the laser pointer is fun if you have pets or if your really in to pointing out continuity errors. my buddy bought one too, to use in his truck for his carputer. its a great versatile little gadget and i think everyone should try it. the only problem i had is i had to wait for ncix to get some in so i could get mine.

Pros
Small, wireless, laser pointer.

Cons
Really small!

Summary
Picked this up for an HTPC build, wanted something that was wireless and had a trackpad. I've previously used a full size Dinovo, and this little keyboard feels just as natural as that one, although you'll be hard pressed to get more than 20wpm. Totally perfect for a living room PC or HTPC. Range seems good, works up to 20-30ft for me, no connection problems.
