    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with Vista Ultimate Media Center
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    *Note* This keyboard will only work if you have Media Center and the e-home IR sensor installed on your computer!

    I've recently set up Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit with Media Center on my 42inch plasma and this is my finishing purchase. Even though this keyboard says for Windows XP, it runs great with Vista, no drivers needed! Looked around for a while for a keyboard that will fully complement Media Center and this seems to be it. My first choice would be the DiNovo Edge(about $175), but for only $33 bucks(+shipping), how could you go wrong?

    Pros: Keyboard is the right size for your lap. Feels solid and well built. It has all the Media Center function keys built into the keyboard which is great! Keyboard works outside of Media Center as well, used it in Internet Explorer, Windows Mail, and Microsoft Word, etc. Spent a good part of Saturday using this keyboard. Media keys on left and right side of keyboard are lit and can be turned off. Keyboard keys are not backlit but thats ok with me, saves batteries. I didn't find any typing lag and I guess there wouldn't be because there is no lag in InfraRed. Worked great from 15 feet away (didn't try any farther) and IR works great even with obstructions. Nice rubber feet on the bottom keep the keyboard from slipping off furniture. Can also program a few functions of your TV remote into this keyboard.

    Cons: The mouse nipple (best way I can describe it) takes some getting used to. A bit tedious, but ok for Media Center usage. It breaks-in a bit after a while, make sure to slow down the mouse tracking speed in Control Panels. I know someone who develops Media Center for Microsoft and he hates the mouse part of this keyboard. I hear Microsoft may be working on a new version of this keyboard. I will probably buy a nice bluetooth mouse eventually. I could program my Hitachi's TV remote into the keyboard, maybe yours will work.

    If I could go back in time, I would still buy this keyboard!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good keyboard for Windows XBMC
    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    Let me start off by saying that the mouse control really is pretty bad. I'm sure I could get used to it and it would work great, but I shouldn't have to do so. If you need to use your mouse a lot with your HTPC, look elsewhere.
    I very rarely use the mouse, however, so it works great for me.
    I occasionally use Windows Media Center, but I have XBMC start automatically when windows starts. 95% of that computer's use is inside XBMC which requires zero mouse movement. You *can* use a mouse to navigate in there, but I prefer just using the keyboard. In that usage scenario, it works great. The fact that it is IR isn't a big deal to me... I put the IR receiver right beside the TV and I don't have any reception problems. The upside is that you can quickly and easily program the keyboard's volume buttons and the TV Power button to control your tv... which means I can put that TV remote away and use this keyboard exclusively.
    I know this usage scenario isn't for everybody, but it just might apply to a few people looking for a XBMC HTPC keyboard. I should note that this keyboard does NOT work very well with the linux version of XBMC. I have that installed on a different HTPC in a different room and a lot of the keystrokes simply don't register. You could probably MAKE it work by modifying .conf files in XBMC, but it doesn't just work out-of-the-box like it does with Windows XBMC.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Buy it only if you already have microsoft IR receiver
    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    BEWARE..This product ships with no IR receiver. I have had this remote keyboard for almost 2-3 weeks and unable to find a compatible IR receiver in local stores. No one carries them anymore. Btw, it does not work with IR receivers that come bundled with other name-brand MCE remotes. The only compatible IR6 receiver(A9O-00007) I could find was on ebay for >$20. If you are buying this for keyboard, you are better off buying wireless(2.4Ghz) keyboard. If you are looking for remote + keyboard, tough luck in finding a IR receiver that works. In this day and age, It believe it should ONLY be shipped with a Receiver. Amazon should clearly note this on their product description. For me, it is nice product but useless. I am returning it.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Use a Media Center Remote and get a better keyboard.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I've had an Adesso remote keyboard with a laptop type touchpad for several years and it works great but I just got a new PC with Media Center for use with my home theater so I thought this keyboard would be a great addition at a very reasonable price. Basically I thought it would be easier to have just a keyboard with Media Center functions instead of a separate keyboard and media center remote control. I have two main complaints about this unit. The first is the pointer device. After being accustomed to the touchpad and how easy it is to move around the screen and having the ability to double tap items to drag and drop, the joystick pointer with the left and right click buttons just seems like moving back to the stone age. With this setup it is impossible to do something as simple as drag and drop without using both hands. The second problem is it just does not seem to connect well to the remote sensor. I constantly have to change the angle and direction of the keyboard in order to get it to work. This may be a problem with the sensor that came with the computer because I sometimes have the same problem with the supplied remote control that came with the computer. It is just much more annoying when I try to use the keyboard for an extended period of time. After a month of trying to get used to the new keyboard I have finally decided to switch back to the old keyboard and continue my search for something better.
