- Strengths:
- - Ultra portable
- Ultra compact
- Very good responsiveness even in great distance
- Weaknesses:
- - The material used on building this product seems a little light. For the dollar spent, I would expect something more substantial when I hold it in hands.
- Touchpad needs to be bigger
- It is expensive.
- Summary:
- I need to remote control my entertainment PC in the living room. And this is almost the only product out there that has integrated a pointing device.
Slick little keyboard

- Strengths:
- Great for password entry, quick navigation, texting and running your home theater computer. Nice compact keyboard and mouse pad that has a cover and fits into your hands easily.
- Weaknesses:
- Not so good with data entry (like emails); fine mouse movements;complex keyboard functions; plugging in the device is annoying (it keeps falling out); and its a little pricy (you have to be committed to your home entertainment system). All very minor.
- Summary:
- I had the full sized Gyro wireless keyboard and mouse and got this for Christmas as my 1 year old got a hold of the Gyro keyboard and ripped half the keys off before I stopped him. My wife didn't like they keyboard mouse combo sitting in our living room either. This works fantastic for logging in; opening a media file; and controlling the video. All in one neat package my son hasn't figured out how to open. My complaints are minor. If you can swallow the price I'd do it.
Excellent product

- Strengths:
- Bluetooth, small size, built-in touchpad for mouse, touchpad can be switched to keyboard arrow keys.
- Weaknesses:
- Price, keyboard is too wide to be used effectively.
- Summary:
- Overall this is a great product. It is a pleasure to be using this with my HTPC. The price is over the top, but for me it was still worth it. Minor inconveniences that others have mentioned do not bother me. I recommend this product.
More than I expected

- Strengths:
- Small enough to appreciate its size but big enough I haven;t lost it yet.
Full keyboard buttons & relatively easy to type with.
Great battery, almost a month between charges.
Sleek looking, and a breeze to setup.
I love the dual modes, perfect for a HTPC.
- Weaknesses:
- Agreed that the design could be better, typing middle keys are a stretch.
Even with all the functionality price is a bit steep.
- Summary:
- Bought for use with my HTPC, only regret was the price compared to other wifi devices. Range has never been an issue though, and I'm amazed at how easy it is to use.. although it took some getting used to. I've heard rumors it may not work that well with PS3's.
HTPC Must have

- Strengths:
- Small and compact. Very functional for the size.
Backlit keyboard and touchpad rocks in a dark room wathching a movie.
Can be used on PC or PS3.
Comes with a rechargable lithium ion battery so you dont have to fummble aroud with double or tripple AAs lying around the house.
- Weaknesses:
- -NONE-
- Summary:
- The thing I like about it most is that it eliminated a full size keyboard and mouse from my coffee table in the living room, and replaced it with a palm sized sleek looking two in one combo. Its also made by logitech, which means it is the best quality possible. If you go with this one you will not be dissapointed.
This Combo Rocks

- Strengths:
- For a home theater where we sit 8 to 15 feet back and want to input to out computer this mini combo rocks. Blue Tooth connects easily. Once you put some seat time in and read to learn how it all works you will be an expert thumb typer / controller. Tip: Use the OK button to click and it helps with mouse cursor hitting what you want.
Sit back instead of leaning forward. If you text on any cell or blackberry you should appreciate this.
It is eerily addictive.
- Weaknesses:
- Mouse control gets a little choppy every so often but never enough to be a bother.
- Summary:
- The picture does not do it justice. Check the size and go see it in person. Perfect for controlling media software and switching to IM or email. It is a new look at connecting with the machine.
Good, but not 100%.

- Strengths:
- Good battery, sleek design, does it's job well enough, good range, and decent functions.
- Weaknesses:
- Functions are not 100% intuitive, the keyboard should be offset like a normal one, not lined up vertically. Amount of customization should be better.
Kills the enter button on my wired keyboard when used. Must restart to be functional again. Probably a driver problem.
- Summary:
- Does what I wanted it to, which is give a couch worthy control pad. Not good for writing anything longer than a sentence.
So 4/5.
