Thanks for all the answers, I've been meaning to say this for a while. I want to buy one myself but they're not available in the UK yet. I emailed Lenovo and I got a generic response "some products are available in certain states and not in others". --errr-- well yeah! obviously. -basically they didn't answer the q.

How are you getting on with it? By now I expect you've had a little more time with it.

I've considered a few other options including the Logitech Dinovo Edge and Mini as well as MCE keyboards and remotes and I think this is the best option by far. I use it with one hand until I have to type. I only wish the backlights didn't turn off so soon and there was horizontal scroll bar (it has vertical one).
(2) Direct line of sight is not required but it lags if there is something in front of it...this only happens when I use it in close proximity to my laptop. I suspect that the wifi signal interferes with it.

The scroll function works for me in XBMC , is there anywhere in particular you want me to look for you

is there anywhere in particular you want me to look for you

actually, can u confirm me how good is the range?

also, a problem a had with my Rii Mini keyboard
is when typing example --> HELLO WORLD
more often then not, it would miss some keys like,
i'd see this in google search box --> HLLO WOLD

does this missing key thing when typing occurs with this new Lenovo k-board?

Well so far i have made some test and i can tell you that the range is good only if you have a direct view your HTPC. My HTPC is in my cabinet and therefore is a bit lower and i have some furniture obstructing so the range is not that awesome.

But in my main rig which is right next to my HTPC but its not in the cabinet i have far better range.

When typing i dont miss any keys on the main rig but on the HTPC sometimes i miss mouse clicks

I guess it is a YMMV depending if you have a clear view of your HTPC and dont have any furniture in between, i also have a wireless access point i don't know mybe it is hurting my range.

anyone can tell us how their Lenovo is doing?

How about connecting the small receiver to a front USB port of your HTPC? Or how about buying a USB extender cable? Then you could place the receiver in some other place so that the PC chasis isn't sitting in the way of the signal. Like taping it right under a shelf or a TV, for example.

i bought my Lenono on sale usimg the coupon code in this thread (thanks). First off it worked immediately with wim 7 and xbmc. all the basic remote functions such as stop, pause, etc... work fine. It took some getting use to typing....for example i was initially holding it so my hand partially obstructed the front resulting in missed keys, but since i have changed it doesn,t drop keys. The buttons have a hard click so you can be sure you have pressed the key correctly> the backlight works as expected> the range in my setup is fine>>>>no major problems here> it is going to take some getting use to punctuation as there are both "shift" and "function" keys that bring up the punctuation and arrow keys. the only criticism i have is that the "mouse" key is sensitive> I have not tried looking to see if this can be changed yet> also when you attempt to click the mouse button soetimes it causes the cursor to move>>>which can be frustrating. however overall im quite impressed and im sure as i use it more my opinin will improve> BTW this was written with the lenovo> so you can see some of the issues with punctuation ETC>>>The last thing is that when browsing webpages there is no vertical scroll>

Sonofabitc@$. That is clever. No problem with scrolling now. Good vid!

I'm finding the N5902 to be almost unusable.

First the range is crap. I'm around 15-18 feel from the PC in a cabinet and it only works if i hold it in one specific position. Isn't this thing RF?

Second, the scroll bar is really messed up. It keeps sending alternating up and down signals when you scroll in one direction. If I was going to keep it, i would probably disable the scroll bar.

All in all, i could probably work with this thing if the range was better, but as is, it's going back.

u may got a lemon :/
