A resounding "yes" for the HTPC remote control in the living room. The first impression was visually excellent, elegant but unobtrusive and timeless design. Keyboard makes a high impression on the user and is easy to operate. The first short test was immediately successful, plug the USB receiver, wait a few seconds and get started, currently still with W7. Touch or mouse pad works just fine, gesture control can be tested only after upgrading to W8. Overall, a good buy for the purpose mentioned, I think and hope that my never-ending story of wireless (mini) might have Tatstaturen and mice after meanwhile 5th or 6th attempt an end. Actually, the only thing missing is a key illumination - then of course keep the two batteries no longer by nine months. That's for me so no shortage, but rather a matter of necessity with the corresponding disadvantage.
