 Good product but disconnect problem December 1, 2008
I bought this keyboard a couple weeks ago to use with my HTPC that runs on Media Center.
It's exactly what you need if you want to be able to use both the regular keyboard and mouse mode (occasionally) or the remote control mode for Media Center (frequently).
The switch from regular to remote could be a little more convenient though (very small slider switch near the mousepad).
The keyboard itself is very small so don't buy this if you plan to do extensive texting like for emails. I use it to navigate Internet.
The life spawn of the battery is great.
However there is one problem, as reported by others, the bluetooth link will sometimes disconnect if you let the keyboard stand un-used for hours (and the PC is on or the PC is standby). This is one major issue for us HTOC users that want to put our systems in standby instead if shutdown.
I haven't tried yet to replace the dongle as suggested by others.
Nicely built but really small November 30, 2008
I knew it was small, just didn't realize quite how small. Nicely built, but of no use for anything aside from a HTPC remote, and for that sole purpose its too expensive.
They keyboard is too cramped for anything but the shortest typing, and the touch pad is too small, particularly on screens set to the resolutions an HD TV will support.
Expensive Gaget, Cute But Not Easy Use November 29, 2008

I bought this to use with my laptop in conjunction with a large external monitor. I needed to be at a distance from the laptop and needed a keyboard for text entry. I did not want a large keyboard / mouse combo because I didn't have a desk or table to put those items on in regards to the location of operation. Hence this seemed to be the perfect solution. Expensive but it looked practical.
After a day of using this, I find that this keyboard is not too responsive and clumsy in comparison to a real keyboard / mouse.
The mouse pad doesn't move as smoothly as one that is plugged in and the keyboard, while it may rival a blackberry keyboard is no prize either.
Perhaps it is the remote USB - blue tooth connection that is slow. I don't know. However for the price I expected better. Unfortunately there are not a lot of mini wireless keyboards at this time.
It does have some sleek features but in the the end you are buying it to be a wireless keyboard / mouse and to that end it is a little irritating to use. So if you need it, you are kind of stuck for now. If you have the luxury of a small table to use, I would recommend a more conventional cheaper wireless mouse and keyboard.
Great keyboard with one major flaw November 26, 2008

This is a great little KB. The back light is nice, the touch pad is nice and it combines function in a small package very well. It's a 5-star keyboard with one flaw that took 2 stars away from it.
When the PC goes into standby for more than 1 hour, the KB locks up completely. The only solution is to remove the battery and put it back in - resetting the device completely. I contacted Logitech, and as of 11/2008 there is no fix for this problem. The problem isn't in the PC - it's in the remote, so hopefully Logitech will come out with a bios update that repairs it.
 Yet Another "First Unit Defective, Second Unit No Different" November 19, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Fool me once... shame on you.
Fool me twice... shame on me.
Fool me three times?
First unit was DOA.
The second unit worked for a few weeks and then the cursor / trackpad died. No backlight behind it; no cursor arrows lit; no mouse - nothing.
I'm waiting on replacement unit #3 - since there isn't a competing product. If #3 doesn't work then I'm giving up.
With so many strongly positive reviews I'm really surprised. Maybe it was a bad lot?
