Got the Lenovo multimedia remote today...
Man...this thing is sooo full of win. I'm not sure how I existed without it.
I was a bit skeptical of the shape, but it's PERFECT for one-handed operation.
if you've used a Blackberry, you can use this.
The little circular optical trackpad there doubles as a mouse left-click, and the ridged vertical line under it is the scroll area,
both of which function quite well. The trackpad is acceleration-sensitive, so if I scroll slowly, the cursor moves slowly,
and if I flick my thumb quickly, the cursor flies across the entire screen. This is GREAT, considering the size of the trackpad.
Backlighting is great. Typing is great. You'll mostly be typing in movie titles anyway, not drafting a thesis.
Multimedia controls work like they're supposed to...no complaints there.
The volume buttons will only change the volume of the app you're in, and not Windows' system volume (unless all other
apps are not in focus or minimized). This may be a good or bad thing depending on your preference.
The only thing I miss is the middle-mouse button, but CTRL-C makes up for that.
For HTPC operation...I can totally and wholeheartedly recommend this.
Arcmanov Approved.
