Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought the Lenovo wireless keyboard to compliment my Dell Zino HD as a hometheater pc. I even waited to set up the Zino HD until this keyboard arrived.
What I do Like:
The size is right. Installing was a complete breeze. No drivers required. Worked right out of the box on Windows 7. Keys on the keyboard are quick and responsive (if you're pushing the right one). It aesthetically compliments the Zino HD with the Tangerine lid flawlessly.
What I don't Like:
While the size maybe right the weight of it is not. It's very light and it almost gives it the feeling of "cheap." The scrolling ball for the mouse is ultra sensitive to the touch. While the device is light enough for one hand, the mouse feature makes it feel like a two handed job when resizing a webpage or moving things around. It would be much better if the Left Click and right click buttons were on the back of the device, like a trigger and or if the mouse scroll ball could be tapped to execute as well.
For crying out loud, if you're going to push it for what I know everyone is purchasing for, "a home theater PC," the keyboard should have been backlit. Who can search hulu in a dark room with this device? I found myself continuously using the on the screen keyboard because I couldn't see in low light situations. The key buttons have a slight beveled feel and aren't raised, which makes it a little harder to type. I have small hands, so I know the fat fingered person might want to skip this one. There are no function keys, (F1,etc...) at least as far as I can tell. I had to plug in another keyboard to access the F12 feature of my computer. Picks up fingerprints easy on the gloss part of the finish.
Overall, it's just "OK." I wouldn't spend $60 on it, so I'm glad I got it for half price. If they added backlight (this would give it a little extra weight, thatI think it needs it to be more comfortable in your hand), moved the mouse buttons to underneath, and increased the tension a bit on the mouse scoll ball that so it doesn't feel so loose, it could be a real gem.
This might work better in a conference room for a light presentation type setup because you will have some level of extra light to see it. The concept is perfect for Boxee, Hulu Desktop, etc...
