This is a neat little device. I'm using it as a remote for my Mac Mini (which is employed as a media server) and it's perfect. If you're planning to use this for any normal data entry, forget it--it is WAAAAY too small. But for turning on iTunes, typing in web addresses, etc, it works like a champ.

It's probably even smaller than you think--maybe 1/3 wider than an iPhone. The touchpad works well, and no glitches with the keyboard noticed yet. Range appears good, but I haven't pushed the limits to see how far it will go (the couch-to-TV distance is well within its limits).

It is indeed Mac compatible, but it's like any other non-Mac USB keyboard in that it doesn't have the Apple command keys. That's a bit of a hassle, but certainly manageable (I'm not a `Mac person,' so there might be some trick commands that don't work as well, but I'm not aware of them). It took a few minutes to get it installed on the Mac Mini while the computer searched in vain for the keyboard type, but entering the generic `American' keyboard when that option finally came up worked fine.

Definitely recommend this product for similar, limited-use applications.

Perfect for a HTPC the keys get some getting use to. The only bad feature is it falls asleep to fast. It takes a number of hits on a certain key to wake it up. better off shutting it off and on. To bad it does not have a motion sensor like some remotes.

I've been using this device with my living room HTPC for four months now. I wanted something smaller than a full-size KB without having to pay over $100 (a la the Dinovo Mini). As a mouse replacement / point-and-click device, it does a pretty good job. However, it seems the mouse pad seems to fall asleep quickly. I frequently have to turn it off and back on. Since it has keyboard functions, you can type in commands or URLs; just be patient. However, certain things are irritatingly difficult. For example, CTRL-ALT-DEL takes a few contortions. Also, the range isn't as far as I'd hoped. If I put the dongle in the back, reception is about 30% shorter. Even with it in front, I still have to be within 10-12 feet of the thing to get great reception. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get a proper HTPC keyboard.
